PFC hatch goes 10.2 and backs it up!!!

We went to an Import Face Off event at KCIR over the week end. Although we didnt win the event we did make a new personal best ET. Heres a pic of the time slips from both runs. The pass on the left was the first pass of the day we didnt want the other guys in the class to know what we ran so max was on the brakes (see the low trap speed) and the slip on the right was bouncing off the rev limiter in 4th (our fifth gear doesnt work so good and another low trap)

Man that little car is movin! Nice times.

I got a text from Moe after the run on the brakes. He didn't tell me why you had the brakes on though, so glad to know now. We need to get the 5th fixed so you can run 9's.

We're gonna try to do it in 4th gear. Gotta soup up our valvetrain a little first.

Some 26's and you'll stay in 4th through the traps.

Holy s*&t dude, lookin good!

thats a angry little hatch nice times and on a stock motor thats props anyway you look at it

thanks for the props although its not stock any more that motor popped a few months ago.......its eagle rods and je pistons now

Good shit guys congrats on the 10.2

Congrats, you guys are movin'! Moe threw it up on his Facebook the other day. I was like, "Moe, what does PFC stand for?"...

:toothygrin2:

thanks for all the kind words guys. It was a fun event, and it was my first ever IFO event. there were some bad ass cars there and we feel good that we went out there with the cheapest set-up on our street car and qualified #2 and no one besides the #1 qualifier ran faster than us. (his fastest pass was 9.7 @ 156)

yeah we need to do a couple of things to try and get the car into the 9's. for one we need new valvetrain and we also need more fuel so we can turn the boost up more! we maxed out the 1000's. we also either need to shift to 5th or rev alot higher and get some taller tires

What size turbo is in your avatar? If that's a 750 of Absolut, wow! :blink: Whatever happened to ImportSports Sam, taking a break this season?

haha no its not a 750. its MOE's 4202r wink wink lol

nnnnope! 5th is not an option. we simply need to be able to spin it a few hundred rpms more safely and we will be in business, taller tires would help all around with RPM and with being able to put more in it down low, but it seems to be balanced as of now.

Here's a quick look..
PFC Hatch at KCIR Import Face Off Testing

hey mo, put this link in the first post so its easier to find.

Good work guys! You're getting there!

Whats the elevation at KCIR?

Thanks!!

Heres the stats for the track ........

Elev : 794 ft
Temperature 76.30¦
Barometric Pressure 30.05
Humidity 69.00%
Standard Rel Air Density 94.44%
Track Rel Air Density 97.20%
Effective Altitude 1957.50 ft
Tail Wind -4.00 mph

Got any in car footage derrick?

nope....i seemed to have misplaced my suction cup and triopod and computer somewhere....so it was a lightly packed trip this time :madgrowl: hopefully i find them soon. you guys have got to see how crazy the hatch is at the end of the track when going 143mph at the rev limit lol max said it was pretty scary

How far is KCIR compared to Firebird? Similar elevation? (too lazy to look it up)

its right above 600 miles. took us about 9 hours towing the car.

That's not too bad :P

:gay: :givesfuck:



















:woot: Just kidding guys. Crats on the 10.duey! Now stop spending money on dyno time and buy some god damn valve springs for that thing already! Jeeze.... And on a diff note, I vote this doesnt count here in CO as they were damn near 5000' lower!!! LOL!! Anyone else on the band wagon?!!! What did you guys place then after being nuber dos qualifier?

well you can go ahead and not count that run, but you remember what happened last time we got a personal best in Kansas city....we ended up getting an even better time on the same setup the very next week when we came back to altitude :) now, place your bets ;) what do you think we are going to do?

we didnt get to compete so im assuming we placed last. i dont know how it works. we broke right before eliminations. we would have easily grabbed second place....very frustrating, but we learned a lot about the car obviously.

LOL calm down grasshoppa! I was just kidding with y'all! Sorry to hear the car broke before elims, kinda a repeat of the WY race for both you guys and myself! Get some head work done and I'm thinkin 9.9-9.7@ 145-147...... That is if it holds together, what broke again? Tranny issues? No? Should be possible if they will let you guys get enough runs in without kicking you out up at Bandi. The tech nazies up there though I'm thinking already have a close eye on that car. Good job and good luck next time!

:scared: lol


and we are already done at bandimere... looks like we might have to head down to PMI and try it there
