914 1/4 mile times, Just curious what all of you have ran in a 914 Options

In my recent 914 venture at Sacramento raceway, I managed a 14.2 @91 mph. This was achieved even through a boost tube popped off before the finish line and my tune was all screwed up. The tube popping off instantly killed the car (apparently Subaru ecu’s dont like losing their maf readings) it was alot of fun putting that back on in the dark without tools to get to the pits. I’m shooting for 13s next go! So what r some of your best 1/4 mile times?

Im looking to go low 11's @ 130+.


Im more interested in a high trap speed than a low ET. My backyard math tells me I should be able to do that.. Putting power down and not breaking the trani is going to be the big issue. That and bogging with a long first. First and sencond gear wont be much to write home about, but I should be able to put all the power down in 3rd on the strip.

Maybe someday I'll actually get to the track..

I believe that would be difficult to achieve without a significant investment in robust driveline components. For instance, Tilton engineers use a +40% clutch/pp formula for reliability and performance. My car would require a pack capable of 800 ft lbs; then there is the transaxle, cv's, axles, etc. Interested in knowing what you do! Remember, talking about something in advance of an achievement is hollow-bragging; afterwards = reporting of facts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Just reporting my goals (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


The good thing about a turbo is I can dial in the torque, I can keep the torque down where the impact will be higher and dial the HP up with the RPM since I have such a high redline (8250) and the turbo to push it. I already have such a slow onset of boost at 16psi, when I crank it up to 30+ the ramp rate will be much quicker and thus I'll need to control it more. With my nifty boost controller I can do just that.

My CV's should handle the torque just fine, The Trani wont take very many hard launches. The oversized clutch/pressureplate combo and stage 3 components were built for an engine with much more torque onset than mine is capable of creating and should be good for 450lbs+

Again, IM just benchracing as you mentioned. I see the 11's as the difficult part. The 130+ should be doable as I can baby the driveline components there.

Im sure I'll get out there and run a 3sec 60ft (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)


I need to get mine reliably on the road first.
