Rock falls Aug 7/8 is the next test day, I will try to make it out there. Then the next day is Aug 28/29.

The car weighs in at 2450 as swift said, I weigh 185, so it should be around 2600-2650 running down the track. The turbo setup and water to air setup weigh a lot.

~John

LMAO, weighs a lot. Good luck man, let us know when you go out there I wouldn't mind seeing this action first hand.

[Pushit2.0]

The turbo is 45lbs, the exhaust manifold and WG's are another 40lbs, the W/A intercooler core, heat exchanger, lines, pump, and 4 gallons of water another 100lbs. That is about 185lbs total, but is weight that needs to be there, other wise I make no OMG hp, o wait I do not make OMG hp, zing.

shut it john. It's still more then 97% of people out there, and on this board. and it seems to work well together. It's been fun watching/helping were I can, seeing this go from stands/white bay, to the tubed moon taxi grocery getter it is now. Mount up those 2 rear seats, and make it an amusement park ride...

John's Moon Taxi service..coming to an on-ramp near you..

Back OT, I found a few 1/4 mile calculators and they say 8.8@153mph with 2600lbs and 740whp. So to address Brown mans question, I wanted 600whp, check, now I want to get as close to 8.8@153mph as I can then add more power.

[goodhart]

You got a link to those 1/4 mile calculators?

BTW, B.I.R. has wed night drags on the 4th and 25th and a Bracket racing weekend on the 21-22nd also.

[Swifty1638]

Mike, BIR on wednesday nights require you to run street tires and a full exhaust.

[Pushit2.0]

I thought you needed to have exhaust that exits behind the driver to run on Wed night drags, My BFG tires are street tires but also they do NO track prep so I would slide all over. I have lined up a trailer for the 7th at Rock falls.

John, I have nothing going on that day if you'd like a helping hand or some moral support.

[C3L1CA]

According to that I should be 9.2 @ 145. haha

Good luck at the track, should be cool to see what it can run.

[Pushit2.0]

So based on the numbers, C3L1CA your car was 16% slower on the ET and 3.5% slower on the MPH. Based on that I should be in the 10.2@147mph range. What tires and 60ft did you have at the track? The fastest GVR4 is a 9.5xx@something slowish like 145.

Oooo! You better raise that HP number up then. Pretty weak at 635, if I say so myself. lol. I want to see in car video of JDM John shifting faster than lightning.

[Pushit2.0]

There is the boost graph, I forgot to post it up.

~John

[Halon]

Nice! That should be close to mid 700's on MAP's dyno.

[turbotalon1g]

I'm pumped for track day, so far so good?
Get any street time on it?

[Pushit2.0]

I have about 122 miles on this new setup, plus 5 gallons of E-85 for tuning. I have only gotten on it 2 times, both in 2nd gear. The car pulls straight and I can down shift into 2nd at high way speed.

I also can't drive as well as I should and this was on fuzion street tires spinning through all of first. The 60' time on the 10.7 run was 1.839 which is pretty crappy. I think that thing has a 9 in it, you just gotta drive the crap outa it!

Good luck dude, i'm sure you'll have a ton of people waiting to hear what this beast does down the track!

[Pushit2.0]

We will see, I hope the drive train stays in one piece for a pass or 2.

Mph is close, but the ETs from the calulators are more for a RWD auto.

Theres a few more in the 9's but I would be ok with the #5 spot first time out and on e-85.
