Well I took 4 runs at the local 1/4 mile tonight. My 855 T is stock except for a manual boost controller (set at 12.5psi for the night). My first run was a 15.2 at 91mph. Not too bad. The next 2 runs were an excercise in wheel spin. The last run was 14.9 at 92mph. That is what I wanted to see. The funny part was the announcer was calling the Volvo the grocery getter as it staged. (My friend was in the stands at the time) So, when we turned in our times he said "and if anyone needs groceries in a hurry find the Volvo." I take that as a compliment since I spanked an 89 Firebird TA on that run.
