The tread of a slick, with the traction of big wheel.

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Or a wagon wheel.

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

A. Nothing Broke
B. It went quick


We are happy.

With another pass I think we would have done a 9.9999999999999@148.

Each pass we gained over 2 tenths and 2mph. There was no sign of knock so I think it would have done a 9 given another pass and dropping the tire pressure a little more. They were at 21psi on the last pass.

There is me bench racing. We'll wait until the 8th to run our 9. Hopefully not a high 9 either.

Shane, get your car done and run it on the 8th!

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

I don't care about my car. I can't compete and I don't usually have a lot of motivation after working all day.

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

QFT

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Haha, you two are getting too old!

And both of you can more than compete. That is the fun of it!

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Ahh, the perils of long days, I wanted nothing more than to go home, watch tv, maybe shower and sleep when I was at the moving company, that was hard work, I know what a long day will do to a brotha.

But yeah, video plz.

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

My car weighs about 4500lbs with me in it and breaks 4th gear at part throttle, it's a lost cause. I don't know why I even got rid of 67, I should have just turned the boost up.

I gotta get my damn daily driver Talon running again, fix the rearend on the Suburban, work on the SC300 and then maybe work on my car.

I also don't have Kevin Johnson around anymore to help me with my own cars and get me movitated to do shit.

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

where is the video????

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Well we have a fire wire cable now lol, but Kyle decided to take the camera with him to get material for the RX7, give me an hour or so and it will be up.

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Rock On Kyle!!!! Awesome Job you guys!

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Nice work peeps!

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Video added.

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Nice video. Those were some fast cars he was up against, I think the first one went 8s. I was expecting to see him against some Honda running 14s.

Was the car on a 2 step? It sounded to me like he was just free reving and slipping the clutch.

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

He wanted to free rev it as he thought he could make boost and get out of the hole without the two step/anti-lag. Plus any more power off the line would have overpowered those tires even more. The game plan is to utilize the antilag on the launch and in between shifts once we have some better tires on there.

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Nice vid! I see 9's in your future!

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Have you guys ever considered going with an auto?

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Considered? Yes

Actually contemplated? No

He enjoys the hell out of actually driving the car down the track.

Could we go faster with an auto? Probably. Do we want to? Not really


I am really anxious to see how well this transmission holds up. It shifts perfectly for now.

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Is the tranny stock? What is he reving to?

Congrats on the time.

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

It is a stock Evo 3? Transmission

He is shifting at around 8250RPM

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

What's the logging tool? You using 'Link?

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

yep DSMlink

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Actually DSMlink shows him over 9k on one occasion and in the upper 8k range several times lol.

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

wow, with a 2.3 that is some NUTTY piston speed. waaaay higher than even a 600cc rocket.

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Nice vid! I can't wait to line up against that beast with the LaZer!

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

WOW that thing sounds sick as hell. I can't wait to see it in person some time

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Time for a shameless plug... July 8th at the Proving Grounds! ;)

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

He broke out. That thing sounds great.

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

I'm sorry Shane!! I'll break out the whip and come motivate you!

On a side note Kyle sure likes that left lane :lol:

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

1 of 3 reasons.

1)It hooks better, doubtful
2)Its better for the video filmed from the left side of the track.
3)The right one says LSE Performance on the top of the timeslip.

What do you guys plan on running for tires next time out?

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

I don't think it was actually contemplated lol it just ended up that way. As far as the tires go we have two options, stick with the wheels we have and run some DR's or switch out the wheels, add coilovers and wheel spacers, and run some Bias Ply Hoosier QTP's...

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Well I was joking because the left lane seems to have better traction usually :(.

You seemed to have had good luck with your QTP's last season. Gonna just toss those on there or did you sell your combo?

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Sold them with the 2G shell, but we can get them back as the owner is trying to get rid of them. We are not looking forward to being forced into coilovers, wheel spacers, and longer studs though lol.

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

I was talking to Brandon today, and said that He'd bring me those slicks for the 8th. Looks like I'll be running them.

Erik and I were at Joe's house. It was fun.

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Tune the NOS timers, it should run a nine.

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

I'm on it!

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

What are the goals for the car? Come on the thing already went low 10s; with some DR's it should go nines and still might not break the transmission or axles.

Slap some DR's on it and see what it does, if it still won't pull a sub 1.7 60' then go and do everything else.

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Good question lol. The only thing with DR's is they will hook too hard, the softer sidewall of the bias ply would act as a cushion for the drivetrain. We want this car to be the fastest car on DSMlink (sub 9.5, and yes we are competing against some tube chassis mirage lol) and we would also like it to turn some heads at the shootout. With Buschur, AMS, and Magnus running high 8's that isn't going to be the easiest thing to accomplish...

Re: MAPerformance goes 10.19 @ 146mph today at the Rock!
 

Any streetable car in the 9's will get plenty of attention.
