Awsome! I think it's a repost, but I'm not a cop. Look how long it took for the turbos to kick in though. I'd like to see the graph. Not sold on the turbo lag yet.

turbo cars on a dyno don't show an accurate indication of spool time. even on a mustang dyno, the load isn't like driving on the street. my dyno sheets show my car spooling up around 4,200 rpms, but it spools up fully by 3,500 rpms. down a shift or brake boost and you get instant full spool.:coolman:

I'm gonna have to say, for 735RWHP, isn't 11.4 slow?

It was a shakedown run, and in the other thread about this video I think someone said that it was the first time the guy ever was at a track.

Along with that, the car is said to be stock, and I don't have anything worth thinking about car wise, but I sure don't think the suspension would be excited to take a full blown run either.

And so I know for futures, can someone explain what I shakedown run is?

An 'easy' run to see if everything is working properly. You wouldn't want to thrash it hard at the track right after you get things set up would you?
