I don't know. 1/2 a second is a long ways to go. A quick search shows the record at 11.943 @ 111.09 Is that correct? Since I'm running a stock trans and TC does that change the record? :rotf:
Well it depends on your definition of "the stock turbo record"! Jeremy and I have argued this in the past (in a friendly manner).
I went 12.26 @ 108.66 on a stock turbo with the crappy stock internal wastegate and stock downpipe in 2003:
Of course that was a stock motor, trans, TC, etc. I did do some DIY porting to the turbine inlet. To the best of my knowledge, that is the fastest anyone has gone on a stock turbo with the stock wastegate/downpipe like I said.
However, Jeremy (Six Is Enough) has gone 11.94 @ 111 like you mentioned - with the JSM custom 3" downpipe along with the stock turbo "service port" wastegate mod, which I understand greatly improves the boost control over the stock setup like I was running. I also believe he had a 2800 RPM converter (not sure that matters).
The wild card here is secret Racer Number Three: Chuck Blossom from Minnesota who has (or had) an NHRA AT/SA Syclone heavily modified (headers, standalone etc.) but still running a "stock turbo". He went at least 11.45 @ 116 with a 1.6 60'. His truck is far from "stock" but I am told the NHRA class rules required him to run a "stock turbo".
So who has "the fastest stock turbo" time? It really does depend on the specific definition and who you're asking! :lol:
At the rate you're going Don, I do believe with a better launch, more traction, and more tuning (chip tuning), that you could beat my 12.26 @ 108 time with your combo. As far as getting into the 11s on the stock turbo you might ask Jeremy for some tips!
