Pics and info on my 1g headswap!

 My name is Phillip Thomas and I am 22 Years old. I own a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST which I have modified extensively. I purchased my car September 28,1997 from Stholman Mitsubishi in Tyson Corner Virginia. My car is Northstar white with 16" alloy rims. Sean Glazar is one of my close friends who owns Extreme. I have known Sean for about 10 years now, as we used to race Remote controlled cars together. Now He is working with me to build a streetable race car. Here is a list of the mods I have performed so far. E-mail me with your comments.

I finally got the car working well. The best time to date is a 12.47 @ 109. I went to 75-80 dragway and tuned the car more and got the traps to 112-113 but a traction hampered track kept me from setting some new personal records. I am going to install a MSD DIS2, 1g head and a big garrett turbo in the next few weeks. My 60's are getting better and much more consistent. I have seen 1.75s to 1.85s consistently on normal tracks. It seems that tire psi is the key to getting good 60's. With 13psi I can rip off 1.75s and with 15psi I can rip of consistent 1.85 launching at 6500 to 7000.Here is a pic of raw FWD power that I found while testing the new slicks.
