I finally made it to the ten second in quarter mile. Last wednesday at Speed World Dragway ran a 10.99 @ 133mph. 60ft on the 1.7sec. Sorry no video of the run but next time will have camera. Same setup, just different launch technique. I will post the full time slip later.

thats freakn awesome. wish i could see it

Fuckin' A right, my man. A 10 second run is a 10 second run, lol. Congrats (you still suck for being able to run when I'm stuck in snow). Now post up that slip and give us a back up run. But you know its still gotta be in the 10's for back-up ;-)

You're in an elite group now.

This is awesome! Can you post up some of your mods as well?

Im about to post this thread on every forum I frequent. All this 420As are slow bullshit...Good job man.

Let's see your pics in the properate section. Congrats

Full Time slip:
Feb 10, 2010.
Orlando Speed World
60' - 1.758
330' - 4.852
1/8 - 7.252
MPH - 102.79
1000' - 9.306
1/4 - 10.994
MPH - 133.47

My setup include the following: 8.8 CR JE Pistons, Eagle Rods, Crower Stage 2 Cams, Crane Valve Springs, Megasquirt V3.0 Staged Injection, SPEC Clutch Stage V, 24.5" X 8.5" Slicks. MDP design exhaust and intake manifold, MDP design sideoutlet downpipe. Factory axles(yes it can be done!), factory 95,000+ factory valves and head ports. MDP gasket match. MDP Tune at CFT, 30 to 32 psi on GT35R Precision Turbo, Innovative WG and Tial BOV. Lot of track time to learn the car and support form my wife, kids and friends and ofcourse 2gnt.com.

That is mostly my setup. You can go to DSM Tuners and search under customrsturbo for pictures of the car.

I will record more runs and for those living in Florida, I will be running at Battle of the Imports in April 2010 at Orlando Speed World Dragway. Batman will be there giving, as always, moral support!

Thanks!

Congrats man, I've been waiting for someone to break back into the 10's and seems like your on the right track. I also like your setup, it's built to take the abuse it gets on the track. Hope to hear more from your experiences at the strip.

This is copy of the time slip:


And this is video of War of the Imports in December 2009 running low 11's:

Would love to hear how yo do that with stock axles.....



Very nice looking car.... has about the same as mine exept for the cams I still have the stockers. Are your cams turbo grind or N/A grind ?

As Batman said: welded diff.

Normal weight reduction: no A/C system, no evaporator, no power steering, remove all black pad on the floor board(around 30lbs), cut the tire spare space and replace with aluminum sheet. Lots of track time and different launches techniques and NO POWER SHIFTING(I found they damage our transmission). I was really praying that these set of axle will hold, they did! Check my other videos on YouTube under MDP 420A. Specially the one called Breaking Stuff.
I am using N/A grind.

Thanks for the words guys!

Nice....

So what did you do to make the stock axles stronger?

Have you considered using a fuel cell to save you a couple of pounds?

I pick up another set on Discount Auto Parts but these set look different. The material of the axles looked darker than usual. Maybe they decided to use another vendor. I have been replacing them with the warranty as I break them.(I am just assuming LOL!)
I thought of going with a fuel cell, but after loosing my original job, budget has been really, really tight and I can't afford to make any changes to the car for now. I will run it and try to squeeze the most out of it until something gives up.

what type of fuel were you running on?

I am running 110 octane race fuel. I will be upgrading to E85 soon.

Amazing job and congrats! Hope you soon break the Hahn record!

Wow. I am incredibly amazed and impressed.

Share info on the build and what you found that works better as far as launching and shifting ect.

Congrats... That hahn records has stood for far to long. Hopefully one of you can break it at some point.

Good luck!

Hahaha, 87 huh? Goddamn, how close could you be? Damn.

Congrats man, I guess you backed her up by tieing Hahn's record! With a 135 trap you can hit mid 10's.

Make sure that battery is charged next time. You still got a month and a half to get the record this year.

Very nice sir, I can't wait for our record to be back in the hands of true DSMers instead of Hahn.

Welcome to the 10 second club man!

That's outstanding man, glad to hear another 420a break into the 10 seconds mark. :D

All I am saying is: I am back in 2013!
I will build it back. It is too deep in my blood.
I will beat down my own record.
I will keep you guys updated.
MDP Orlando

I hope to be in the 10s as well this season. Glad to see there are still some hardcore 420a members on the board. Best of luck!

Good deal! If you have any questions to reach your goal, I will be glad to help out.

Thanks for the support. My car is in the body shop getting re- painted
and installing factory bumpers. As soon as it gets out I will be installing a 10-point cage and getting to auto Trans rebuilt. Then get a tune and hit the track. Are you still running a 35r?

Awesome, any pictures of the built and set up.
Yes, still 35r, but lets see what comes by!

I'm still on a 35r as well. Here are some current pics of the tear down. I'm converting to manual brakes and removing the booster. Shaving the bay and repainting the entire car white with a blue pearl.

Awesome!

what happen with this car? I head it was parted out? what kinda HP were you making?

Customrsturbo's car is in being rebuilt.
