Several years ago I ran mid to high 13's with a T-25 on my AWD.
13.65 @
~ 97mph. There were still plenty of mods I could have done to
make the
car go faster with the T25. So wow.. Stock 2G AWD's have 210
hp and
typically run 15.2's.. And with just 40 more horsepower they can run
mid
13's? You sure about that 250hp cap?
Actually, I've never been a fan of horsepower claims. I doubt
my car ran
11's from huge horsepower #'s, especially with a stock 2G head, unclipped
18G turbo, etc. It's all about torque curve, folks. Mine
is very flat
and very steady (no hiccups, no big peaks & valleys, just a nice
strong
reliable curve). The T25 can turn out a nice little curve down
low & in
mid-range, you'll have a hard time going faster than a mid 13 but you
can
have a lot of fun up to that point and it shouldn't cost you a fortune
to
get there.
As for 10psi at 5500.. You're not far off the mark, if memory serves
it'll hold 13. I think 10-11 comes around 6000RPM.
Interestingly enough, it sometimes paid to stay in gear well past 6000rpm
when racing in the 1/4.. Remember, it's not just the power you're
currently making at that RPM, it's what happens when you shift to the
next gear. Holding it longer in 3rd gave the car a chance to
pull better
in 4th. 1st & 2nd didn't benefit from going too much past
6K though.
