About 500 to the wheels. I was running faster than 118. I just let off the throttle and coasted through the traps on the last 2 seconds of the run. Watch the win light to the right in the video. It activates about 2 seconds after I let off the throttle. Had I stayed in it I would have probably taken the #1 time on the list.

Gumball I found your timeslip. You can clearly see how I let off too early, take a look at the side by side comparison:
Gumball: -----------------AdamGamz
2.051 60 Foot ----------------2.074 60 Foot
5.446 330 Foot -------------5.291 330 Foot
8.295 1/8th mile -----------7.779 1/8th mile
88.28 MPH ------------ 96.40 MPH
10.65 1000 -------------- 9.98 1000 Foot
12.65 1/4 Mile -------------- 11.86 1/4 mile
118.23 MPH ----------------118.73 MPH
You can see I was up by 8 MPH by the 1/8th but gave it all back by the 1/4, the E.T. was still 8 tenths quicker. I probably would have trapped 11.5 @ 125 had I stayed in it.

Very cool, im taking my car this coming friday.. brand new set up this year about 500whp aswell. That time slip of mine shows my poor driving, boost dropping every shift and 16-17psi peak boost only

Well you cut a better 60 foot than I did so your driving wasn't so bad. My car is making about 800+ crank HP on E85. I should be trapping over 130 MPH. The thing that hurts me is the 3.26 GS400 diff, but it's a must to drive a TH400 daily on the street.

Guys, one quick question. How does a stock ISF trap ~115mph in the quarter...with only 350whp (416hp crank)? I know they are mid-high 12's but still...how does it trap similarly to what you guys have recently trapped? Is it mainly having to do with the trannys?

I was trapping 124 MPH on the same setup last week, I just had some over fuel issues, my car was running 10.2 : 1 going down the track, just drowning. Also I have a SP400, that transmission soaks up HP. And yea the 8 speed transmission is huge.
Yea Connor, for sure. the Lexus is running like an animal now, I just pulled back the fuel pressure and she is running 11.7 : 1 , It is uncontrollable through 60 MPH on my new 315 street tires, just all over the road. I love it. : )

Rock-a-lex, our cars has different power band/ torque curve vs a 5.0L V8. Also that 8-speed transmission close ratio puts the usable power band/ torque curve where it needs to be

I scared the **** out of myself tonight, driving to Sams club I decided to check the A/F ratio doing a high speed 3rd gear pull on the highway at 29 psi, I guess the roads were still a little slick (didn't look wet) Well the GS kicked it's *** end out doing 90 MPH+ with steel light poles whizzing by. That was scary.

Looks good Gumball but save your rubber for the track. My E.T streets on RX7 wheels are down to the wear bars. I washed up the Lexus this morning before the sun was up. Ready for the track tonight, all polished up, hopefully it doesn't rain.
