Hilton Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Yesterday I took my Volvo to the racetrack. It's ~800' above sea level, the temperature was in the mid 50s.The car is a 1997 850 GLT with 157,400 miles. I replaced the 13G with a 15G that I ported and polished. I've got the generic tune by Upsolute, and a MBC set at 12.5 lbs. Both the air intake and the exhaust are stock.There was an accident in the left lane before I got there effectively closing it for the rest of the day. Because of this I only had time for 3 runs.14.5 @ 96 mph14.4 @ 96 mph14.5 @ 95 mphMy 60' was between 2.1 and 2.3. I've got timeslips and video of the 14.4 from inside the car. A friend of mine has video of the 14.4 run from outside the car.No weight reduction was done. I didn't even remove the baby seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even remove the baby seat.Wow; those 60's are not too bad. I wish I could run a 2.1 60'. What were your 1/8th mile numbers?Baby seat adds street credit and 7.7 hp to the wheels .

My LPT with the turbo swap ran 14.7 @ 93 in 90 degree Alabama heat and humidity this summer. I was running around 10.5 lbs and my AFRs were way rich. It dynoed 202 fwhp on a dynojet the next day. I figure I'll start messing with an mbc later this year.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one wheel peel is so much more fun. I'm hoping to go to the track when I'm up in Gainesville this weekend with the new 225/45/17 tires, should be much better as the other ones were bald ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilton Posted January 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 After driving an eleven second six speed, a 14 second automatic seems pretty simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
