Well here it is, I was even running the hood stack just for fun. Times were crap, but not because of a lack of power, but lack of traction if you can believe it! First run had a 3.3 sec 60' time! Second was better, but that time it wasn't enough boost off the line and it was a big turd.

Enjoy!

Heres a pretty cool pick taken by the track photo guy of the volvo doing some work at the line!

Thanks for sharing!

When I took my car the PIR drags, I turned up a 17.7 each and EVERY time I ran it. one time my trap was 65mph and it will did the 17.7. all the other runs I was trapping 75 ~ 80 mph.

I managed a 83 mph trap, its pulling pretty well, but the crap 17.2 time just shows how slow it is off the line with the auto. The first run would have been decent if it didn't spin its ass off! With better traction I'll get into the 16s with the auto. It also needs to be hot, I had to wait almost 2 hours and the engine wasn't up to temp. It was kinda cutting out/misfiring on the top end.
