Who cares!? No on is saying to hotlap the thing and beat it to death. And with the supporting mods and all the meth they are spraying, the heat shouldn't be too much of a detriment. And at least we'll have something to compare with other cars that are running now.

I think it's bs that no one is posting their single results.
Set some baseline high temp results to give meaning to later cool weather "glory" runs. Differentials between previous stock turbo runs to new single runs would also be meaningful. Monumental let down from the community, IMO. Tons of hype about getting your singles installed and now silence. Shame...

Then buy one people. Don't live waiting for our numbers pony up and pay for a Single upgrade if not wait for out schedule to allow for the track and runs. Simple as that. I'm not gonna sit in blazing heat to prove anything to anyone. I know what I have and the members who don't wanna pony up cash and or will never be happy with the results can kiss it.

Sadly my car is still in the body shop right now, so there is no steering wheel time at all.

BTW, you guys need to realize the complications of running this type of setup at a drag strip. As soon as you hit these "10s" they are going to kick you out if you don't have a roll cage. Secondly, most of these guys want to do half-mile/airstrip runs where it can really shine at 60-130 and up.

The kind of backlash these forums give might be keeping some away. There are many who'd love the opportunity to compare a single turbo run in high heat/humidity to an upgraded twins run in super negative DA and then call it a fair comparison.
Having said that, I'd love to see some strip #s, even if conditions are bad. Need something to knock me off the fence.

10s quarter mile runs aren't as easy as people think, regardless of horsepower. Look at the stories and timeslips from ZL1 Camaros, ZR1 Vettes, Mustangs, etc, where a 600hp car at a less than ideal track or piloted by a driver of only average experience at a dragstrip cuts times much slower what the magazine professionals and other highly experienced racers run.
The guys who live their lives 1/4mi at a time relish those numbers. Others who wish to turn the internet into their own personal magazine racing pissing contests do, too. The guys who have bought the first successful single turbo are probably just driving, not worrying about how they stack up against anyone else.
