Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph

[belittle]

Hey Chris, this is Bryan from the Budget Inn. I'm the one that has the 95gsx and helped you with the settings on dsmlink at the shootout. Congrats on the decent time. I think before we left you ran a 12.x at like 125. A little better then the 100 hp made at the dyno the day before. I wish I could have seen it run but we had to make it back to Chicago. Good luck with your car and ditch that damn stock intake manifold and upgrade :)

130mph for a car with an unported head and stock intake is smokin! And it's street driven? It may not be the world's fastest DSM but that is very impressive none the less.

I went 11.0@128 in my car last year. I also had a stock intake manifold and a 2.0 with a 60trim.

Where was that also John?

Rockfalls raceway ;).
Don't forget the shitty intercooler, and the fact that it was at 32psi.

What did Nash trap with ~550 whp? Somewhere around 123 if I remember correct? I think everyone is putting way too much faith into this HP vs. Trap speed phenomenon.

Using the speed method calculation with Shanes highest trap of 137 you would get 602 whp assuming his car weighed 3000 lbs with driver, and If I'm not mistaken he made a little more than that...

Everyone should stop Crying about this. I dont see one person thats talking on here Except Cher, and Shane that has seen 130 in the 1/4. Go get your cars and run 130mph traps then talk. I dont see why everyone is putting Chris down for having a fast car. It is a fast car hands down. If none of you really believe me. Then race him. I'm sure hes down for it.

Chris, nice job on the car, I like that you have raced just about anyone who has asked. I don't doubt your car will run a ten sometime soon.

Chris is one of the nicest DSMers I have met. I'm sure he is happy to have his car running and the fact that he is knocking on the door to a 10 second run. Be patient. Not everyone has the funds or time to throw together a complete setup right away and make 600hp+, 500hp+ is nothing to sneeze at, 11.3 at 130 with a bad launch is not too shabby either. :D

Chris I'm glad to see your car on the street, keep that car running and racing, there isn't shit for DSMS on the streets around here right now you are the quickest one.

3000lbs with driver? I wish. It was probably around 3250 with driver back when I went 138mph. I hope to get it down close to 2800lbs without me in it, but that still puts in well over 3000lbs with me in it. :)

Your car was probably starting to get into the mid 500s with the extra boost and whatever changed on the car. Kevin said the car just kept getting faster and faster without changing much throughout the day. Maybe some rings are seating or breaking lose or something.

Nash trapped at 129 when he made 508whp and he didn't get a full pass when he made 531whp due to the car breaking after one pass.

And Kevin who is crying or putting Chris down? I went over and over this thread and I don't see one bad thing said, Brian said that it was lacking power somewhere, which is true. But then Chris responded saying that it has the stock intake manifold which makes sense. And Shane could be right by saying that it could be just breaking in, the more and more its driven the better it gets. Point out where someone was ripping on the car in question or the people who put it together? But if you or Chris are getting hurt feelings over this I can lock it for you.:rolleyes:

Oh yeah btw nice job Chris, that thing will be in the tens the next time out if you can get a decent 60' for sure.
