You may have crossed the line before him but you didn't win the race. He has the better time. and also what were the trap speeds on the run

Re: my turbo mx3 vs a de mx3
i still think that a de boosted at 6 psi should run a hell of a lot faster then a 14.7

Re: my turbo mx3 vs a de mx3
If they're at 4000ft elevation like the video says, the 14.9 converts down to a 14.1 according to NHRA tables. But, the tables also mention only using half the conversion factor for turbo cars.
Here's a link if anyone wants to review it.

Even with the altitude conversion, the times are still kinda slow, but I guess the car is running very poorly.

Re: my turbo mx3 vs a de mx3
I was at 3 psi, my boost gauge was not in the im, it was in the intake lol
msybe 2.5 psi.. wasnt very accurate. i moved it raised the boost to 4 and did a 14.4 now im at 6 psi well see what times i get. oh and bigger and better tires. Im crossing my fingers for at least a 14.1
