3 TTs on an interstate run

[Hotshot8792]

Me and a couple of my buddies (k.d. with a stealth RT/TT and my buddy robby with a stage 2 WRX) were on our way out to the track saturday night and we got out on the interstate so i could make a couple of pulls to test out my new alcohol system. I made my first pull on the interstate and noticed that i had a boost leak (later to find out an intercooler pipe hadn't been put on good when we were pulled over 10 minutes prior taking out my thermostat in the middle of the highway because it looked up and my car was overheating). After my first pull and i had slowed back up to 60, a 3000GT VR-4 passes me doing 75, and as soon as i saw him i knew what was coming, and sure enough, here comes k.d. flying up behind the vr-4. K.d. lines up with him and they're off at 75mph, and i wanted in so i got on it to catch back up with both of them. Now K.d. is BPU so he just starts walking away from the vr-4 and i have caught up the vr-4 by time he shut down, and k.d. is waaayyy up there probably doing 130+. Anyways, K.D. has slowed back down, and i get in the far left lane to get around some traffic, and the vr-4 switches behind me, so then i punch it. And he goes too, and i start pulling away from him, meanwhile k.d. punches it again and passes the vr-4 again and later said that i was already soo far up that he had no chance of catching up to me, but from my point of view, all i remember is i got up to 150 (pretty scary) and decided that was enough as the vr-4 was waaayyy behind. But i thought it was nice for us to be able to compare ourselves with a stock car to show how much improvements we had made on our 3/S's. As for the WRX, he knows he can't do highway pulls compared to use because of his gearing so he said he said he wasnt even going to try on that (although he did really good at the 1/8 track). We later went out to the track, but i might talk about that some other time

i've only ran the 1/8 at 9.0 @ 85.3, but my ET was bad cause i spun out some off the line, but that still comes to a low 13 second 1/4. What also hurt my time is having the stock torque converter, no LSD, and no shift kit, which will be installed this next month and should put my 1/8 to about 8.5 @ 90 which will be a 12 second run without making anymore power, just will put my 60' from 2.2 down to a 2.0 with minimum spin and a couple extra mph off the line as well, and MUCH quicker shifts, i can spike 5 psi b/t shifts. As for the parts, the tt parts i just found from parted out vr-4s, exhaust got from local muffler shop, downpipe from dynamic racing, pulley from 3sx, maft from driven performance.
