Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

What I dont understand is, you made 720awhp with "major traction issues". Now you are selling the turbos to go with something bigger but still have traction issues... How are larger turbos going to help you?

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

IIRC the traction issues were only in 1st gear, basically. All of it.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

The point w/ the bigger setup is that the 50 trim setup is pinned completley, and he anticipates most, if not all of the traction and drivetrain issues to be resolved this season. So if, and when he gets those under control, he'll be able to turn the power up even more instead of just being stuck t 720

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

We have the traction issues figured out. All season tires suck on the drag strip :)...hoosier DOT radials don't.

I would like to have larger turbo's available so I can adjust the power up and down at an overall higher level.

Right now there is 100% NOTHING left in the turbo's. I can make more power with Nitrous, a different fuel type, or getting stupid crazy with timing (aka pushing it beyond safe). I would be fine with a small shot, but running the 50 trims way off the efficiency map isn't something I like to do.

Swanny quit your crying and put all the bitches to bed...bolt up a pair of T67's and a flux capacitor and put the competition to BED!!! :D

See you in 1985.

Yes sir, it is

Do you know what your front-rear and right-left breakdowns are?

I am with CVD, but whatever good luck to ya.
Since you don't have a street car you can ride with LB, i have a girl, but you can ride every once in a while.
Twin 101mm FTW!!!
Also, if you run a piss poor time with this new setup and my bro beats you, i will whoop your ass.
(by piss poor, i mean like 11.3 cause of traction or shit tranny/synchros, etc)

We do not have corner weights yet, some day though.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

If/when you look into wheel scales, I highly recommend the line from Longacre Racing. We have set and have been very pleased with them in terms of repeatability and build quality. The only downfall is that they're not drive-on scales so we built a set of stackable ramps for the pads to set in.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Good deal! Thanks for the info.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Who cares about corner weight for drag racing?

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Well you gotta turn around and drive back sometime.:lol:

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Think about the dynamic behavior of the vehicle.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Thank you ;).

We just haven't had a chance to get the corner scales yet. We have been mindful on where the weight has been pulled, but I would really like to get it on a set to help see where all the weight is.

I did notice that I will have to re-adjust my suspension a bit to make sure the car sits level again for this up-coming season.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

Pre-loading spring tension on a particular corner can help make or break a launch. It's something easily over-looked by many, but for those who get it, and know about it, it makes a BIG difference. I wanna see a solid 9 inch ford rear end in this car, with adjustable 4 link setup.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

how did you shave that much weight? I thought that it was already stripped and that is alot of weight!
I can't wait to see what that car will do now if you put bigger turbos on.

Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars
 

What do you think the weakest link on the car will be this season?
