About this Current Vehicle:

BEST Turbo Pass: 9.44@143mph with current turbo setup
Project "Dragula" was purchased in early 2000 with about 25,000 miles on the odometer. The car was left stock for a month, and then the transformation commended. Currently Dragula makes 867rwhp with a custom turbocharger setup.

Vehicle Journal:

All blowed up

Sadly Dragula is blown up. I broke the turbo, which I thought was sturdy enough to go mid 8's but apparently it was not up to the task. I am deciding what to do next, but I'm liking this GLD 8.20 cap class.

Made some NHRA license passes this past Saturday, one of which was a 10.05@137.7mph wtih 16psi and 93 pump gas. I melted a vacuum line and have too much oil running thru the turbo so I have to fix a few things before I run again.
