Okay, so it was on a track, and there was some help from a turbo. Grid life last weekend was an absolute blast - the car ran flawlessly and I was super impressed by both the quality of drivers in my session as well as the beginner sessions for which I was instructing. Some video below for your viewing pleasure. Ignore the AFR readings - for whatever reason my data logger (a racecapture track) was set for a 11.9 minimum. Headphone warning - my gopro knockoff camera has a terrible microphone.

For the nerds out there - the most impressive part about this, to me, is how quickly the MAP changes with TPS. That's "turbo lag" for you - almost nonexistant in this setup.

Wow that lack of turbo lag is really stealing the show, what turbo setup is that?

The turbo is an EFR6258 with a trackspeed cast manifold. 3" downpipe/exhaust, 2.5" hotside and 3" coldside for intake tubing. 

Camera is a YI Lite ($75 off amazon). I'm trying to figure out an external mic setup so I have sound, but I'm impressed with the video stabilization for this knockoff.

I read the thread title and thought "i know a guy who went 119 in a 1/4 mile on a stock bp bottom end" but track is different, especially in terms of how long it needs to be able to WOT. 

Car looks like a blast!

In reply to Vigo :

Stock bottom end in this car!

I was actually pricing out what it would cost to build the engine in this car earlier today... it ain't cheap!
