[12secondv6]

Yes.... the nitrous guy drove one of the most mysterious type of power adder cars out there..... it had one of those new fangled TURBO chargers!!!!

The maf on the bird crapped out for some unknown reason just a couple days before running.... I didn't have the spare $$$$ for a replacement so I snagged my buddies car.

2004 Dodge Neon SRT4
Mods:
stage 2
3 inch down pipe
No cat
Side exhaust
Continental lame @ss tires in front.

I lowered the front to 27 psi
Raised the rear to 42.

My only experience with a manual car at the track is my 2004 neon SXT.... which runs a blistering 15.7 seconds!

So here are the results:

I had serious wheel spin/ wheel hop in first gear, top of first gear, second gear.... the shifter knob popped off on three seperate runs.... if the wheel hop/ wheel spin was bad I gave up.

All in all, it was a good day.

I spoke with the owner of the car and he told me my mph was low and ET wasn't the best... I was asked if I power shifted, I said no, I am not fast enouigh for it....I was told that is key for great times in this car.

The turbo was relatively easy to figure out. 17 punds of boost.

The horrible continental tires (bought used) that are on the car is what really held me back.

I am used to drag racing a RWD car.... with some type of drag radial or slick on it..... so this was interesting.



So... the nitrous guy drove a turbo car at the track.... it took a couple rounds but I became DAMN consistent.... on a 17 psi FWD manual street tire car.
