No replacement for displacement? - Page 3

A magneto. They're neato.

After last night, I'd be a little scared of a fast RWD car. I broke the tires loose at almost 60 mph last night in the rain driving a supercharged Lightning. Not exactly a good feeling when you're in traffic, it'd be that much worse if you could do that easily on dry pavement. But you get used to anything I suppose.

He is just putting a basic Crane ignition box on it. They help on those cars.

I like you MAP guys and all, but why the constant dick wagging?

That's what happens when you have a "correct motor" instead of us "half-motor" guys. I appreciate all things fast, big, small, whatever it may be. I don't like the "tough crowd" that think their shit is fast. I had the fortunate run-in with a ford v8, dohc setup on a charger. dude was a tool. Luckily infront of his gf, I put him in his place. Sad when I think about it, cause I can honestly say my car is not fast at all right now. With the issues i've been working out, to still beat him really must have hurt. Anyway, to the point, I give respect to where it's deserved. Kyle ran a 9 on his talon..congrates. it's a fast car. Kenny's car is quite fast. and, he respects fast 4 cylinder cars too. I hope someday, i get to race kenny, and see how badly I get railed with 9 psi.

I think that in comparison to others in this area we are pretty tame when it comes to "dick wagging." This particular instance of public nudity was based upon the taunting that took place before said race. Had the passenger of this car (please note Kenny did not make any comments, and is a very nice guy) not told Kyle "you better make sure your nitrous is on" and "there is no replacement for displacement" we would have likely stuck to our normal modest behavior

Once again, my passenger didn't say anything...that was Fast Mark stirring the pot. I was right there and saw/heard it. Don't start saying stuff that isn't true now

Cool, the owner is finally here.
Badass car, i hope to build something like that in the future, congrats and enjoy the ride, we all know perfectly well that you could turn that bitch up and have an insane car, i would say applause for having enough self control to leave it on "low power" levels and having fun with it.

It makes 50whp per lb of boost.

428gt · 09-30-2007

Hopefully it does that for the next few psi when we go to turn up the boost.

Wow, that's power.

santa · 10-12-2007

XXXXrwhp....You should throw up the new power dyno charts!!

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 10-12-2007

Kenny probably has them. I don't think he will really run it on the street or track at the 18psi level, the car was already traction limited at 895whp. I think he is going to try to run it at the 13.5 psi level that he backed it down to until he can get tranny that will hold the power he is making on slicks without shattering on the launch.

FattyBoomBatty · 10-12-2007

Lol, these are problems I wish I had.

428gt · 10-12-2007

Here's the newest sheets from last night...like Shane said, I won't be running 18 psi on the street, I'm probably going to have to bring the boost back down to 11.5 psi after I try out the 13.5 psi...I'm sure it will be just stupid to watch at the track...no traction with my new DR's

Anyways, here ya go!
