Who has the fastest Stage 1 Stock turbo PT 1/4mile

If you read what I have on my car and have similar mods and ran it at the track.....please let me know what your time/times where.

My mods are quite similar to yours although I do run with drag radials, and I have an automatic. A plain jane auto at that since my car started life as a Turbo Lite. I've run a 14.4 and several 14.5 passes (as long as the ambient temps here in SoCal aren't pushing 110 degrees!!). I've since installed a dual stage boost controller but haven't run it yet as I've a got a boost leak and haven't had a chance to chase it down yet. Everything I've seen indicates the 5 speed PT is a bit of a bugger to launch. Keep at it, your times will come down.

I have not yet run mine in the quarter mile yet, but I probably do, as I have NOS on top of the factory turbo, stage one and other add ons. It is so quick, just have to upgrade the suspension to keep it on the road at launch.

[xx(] NOS is cheating. You can put a 100 shot on any slow POS and make it fast. 12.360 @ 115.67 That's the fastest I've seen on giggle juice, stage 1 and stock turbo. 13.191 @ 104.21 That's the fastest the same guy has run without giggle juice. Here's a list of fastest times for PT's

Did you go to solid torque struts or motor mounts as most people call them? Replace the tranny mount, replace the bushings with polyurethane, etc? Wheel hop will be a major issue even before wheel spin. [8)]

Because the Neon came out in colors that were like the colors of the candy Skittles. I didn't take "skittle boy" as a dregogatory thing but EVO people, WRX people, ricers, etc. try to use that as a slam to the SRT-4. My favorite is "It's just a Neon". Damn, I do drive a Neon, but it's fast as he!!. [?]

NOS is cheating? I didn't know there were rules. NOS is just like any other mod that you pay for and put on your car that is not stock. It's great. Speed is speed, no matter how or where you get it, as long as you get it. I have the dual exhaust, stage one, PowerDemon transmission, upgraded fuel pump, dash gauges, cosmetics, etc. etc. What's the difference? No one knows it's from NOS when you blow by them.

[Mean Green]

No rules. Just that NOS will make anything faster, even a POS. What's the joy in that? [:I] IMHO it's not impressive if you are into the 12's if you gotta spray. Just my opinion.

Watch that Power Demon tranny. Not as bullet proof as everybody thought.

the funny thing it the guys that have big turbo's and can't get in to the 12's. and the guys that say it is cheating ot do it with nitrous how is any different then putting a big turbo on a car it is not. big power added is big power added be it from big turbo or bir spray. doesthat mean that dasmopas's 10 second run is any less of a run then the guys that did it on a big urbo? he did his on big turbo and spray another did it on s3 and spray and a third did it on a really big turbo and ems running something like 8000rpm and did it in three gears. it is all power that has to be put to the track and drivin. so i don't see what the difference between a big turbo and big spray is. or for that matter why a guy that runs a 13.1 and then sprays it to run a 12.3 why should that 12 be any less then another guys. the fastest is the fastest, and a guy that has the fastest stock turbo no spray and the fastest car all around should not have it knocked because "it's on the bottle"

That's cause you use the bottle my friend. It's all good if both racers are using the bottle. Using the bottle to get a good time is a good thing. Using the bottle to wipe someone out in a race is boring. NOS is too much of an advantage then. You don't even need the driver mod if you use NOS and the other driver doesn't. Just my opinion. [?]

thats what i'm saying is if one guy has a big turbo and the other has a bottle hp is the same what is the difference? totalsleeper has 376whp mine is 375whp keith has 366whp i ran 12.3 mike ran 12.7 and keith ran a 12.8 tom who has a 50 trim has not even made the 12's i ran a 13.1 on the stock turbo so you can't say you don't need driver mod with nitrous. you will have to get the hp to the ground and have everything else right. [?][8)]

there is another guy that has 336whp on a big turbo and runs a 13.9 [:I]
