Thread: Drag Radial Record?

Gio's car on some slicks may give your car a run for it's money

The 1/8 I believe was 7.8 with a 2.0 60 ft On this pass, my best was a 7.5 with a 1.9 60 ft.

lol, it would be fun. He might have given me a run for my money on 24psi without the intake manifold and TB. But now its a whole different car. haha

That would be a hell of a run though.

Do i hear an east coast vs west coast shootout, hahaha I wish.

on slicks my best 1/8 so far is 7.1@103mph

There is an advantage to running on DR's over slicks. You dont have the rolling resistance that you do running on slicks at 8psi or so. So your mph is definetly gonna be up there and topend is gonna pull like crazy. That why i said i want to give it a shot on dr's just to see what kinda crazy mph i can hit.

I can definetly feel the difference running on street tires compared to at the track on slicks. Street tires pull absolutely insane in 4th and 5th gear. haha

Ashton, I am very curious to see how much whp your car is actually making.

yeah im curious as well, i might go hit up a dynojet here soon to do a couple pulls.

What you thinking its at?

Hopefully i get my clutch disks in next week sometime.

From my experience I would say it has to be knocking at 500 whp even with the intake manifold and more boost. You need to figure out a way to fine tune that car. Some sort of piggy back would help you out a good amount.

Im thinking roughly around that maybe more. The tune is pretty good, its for one safe, I think when im running the C16 in the tank it can probably benifit from bumping the base timing up a couple degrees. This is something i can try out on the dyno. My a/f is conservative enough to give it a shot. I can only imagine the gains that can be affiliated with the added timing as well.

I want to hit up a dyno soon. Hopefully i will find the time to do it.

thanks, did you do that?

Damn the car sounds nice. Some stickier tires and a good pp= some great times.
