Thread: big bore, high comp, VE-T build--SHE STARTED!!!!!

Don't want to throw this of topic but all of the RWD guys down here in his class try to avoid this car. You have to be out a lot on him by the time he hits 3rd or its over. Total animal.

modified the flywheel to fit the GTiR crank(seeing how comp forgot to do so)

Dude the car is a monster on the big end. That 169 mph trap isn't a joke.

Yeah 169 is no joke. Ill be happy if i see in the 150's. 150's are good for 9's all day long. Hoping for 155 or so. We will see when the time comes.

Joe from Locash Racing and Jake from Indub in Pheonix Az just ran their first 8 second passes both at 171 and 172 mph. 8.92 for Jake and 8.98 for Joe. Did it at the Import Faceoff event in Tucson this last weekend. Cars are moving and its been a long time coming for both of those guys.

Gonna be a lot of monstrous VE's out this year thats for sure. More than ever before thats for sure.

Finally got my custom rears in, now just gotta paint the centers...black or purple??? Hmmm

Chap, Your updates come along just like the speed of your car........Slow and unpredictable...........

Just messin with ya.

I cant pull myself to put skinnies on the back of mine. I like the wheels and tires I have on there now plus more grip to hold back the heavy preload and better stability at high speeds. Plus, Holy Geeze they are expensive. I dont get why skinnies are 3X the cost of a regular wheel. hahaha Same with the tires for them. No thanks.

I do lots of stuff and dont post pics...i dont need to update everything

I dont know where you get your pricing from but i pay less for rear rims and tires...ive never had an issue nor do i see people having any issues holding the car back for burnouts or preloading...ive trapped high 120's and had no issue with stability, i think your just scared

Nope, i just dont see the point in wasting money on skinnies. In all reality, you pump the normal tires up to 50psi or so and there is not much more rolling resistance than running skinnies and not going to help that much if anything noticable. You will save weight with them as well but again not significant enough to blow almost a grand on wheels and tires for.

Personal preference. I can think of much better areas to blow a grand on than rear skinnies. Maybe after my second year over here ill get the matching Weld Magnum rear skinnies. We shall see. But not now my friend. Dont need them to still whoop your ass. lol.

I've heard of guys gaining 1 to 2 tenths using skinnies. Car is coming along great bro.

Started my downpipe, itll be fabbed by time to go home...finish welds tomorrow




Its a tight fit, 4" out the bumper on passenger side
