Awesome! I can't remember the last time I saw that car on the street.

TheBlizzard · 08-31-2005

Crap, now I won't get any sleep this weekend. But I kinda miss the long nights of street tuning.

**Goat Blower** · 08-31-2005

Three running 11-second DSM's locally, who would've thunk it? The race for the 10's is on.

**JET** · 08-31-2005

Don't forget Chris Carey too, if he can make it. Also Shane is trying to get Mara's car together. There could be 5 down there going for it!

Go in order. Go for 11s, then go for the 10's.. lol Dont get ahead of yourselves!!! You might get let down, its better to meet a goal than it is to expect something and come up short. Just my .02.

Congrats jet. I better come up there with the maf

4 of the 5 I mentioned have already run 11's! Mara's car was hitting 12.0's consistantly, but I don't think ever got an 11. That car will be upgraded quite a bit though.

Welcome to 2003.

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 08-31-2005

10s??? The race for mid 9s is on now.

Pimpin Dsmstyle · 08-31-2005

Is anyone on here even close to shanes 700whp?

I suppose everyone has run 11's on their car at some point. I was more or less talking about this year to be exact. Most people with fast rides havent gotten the chance to throw out some times that they are happy with. Hell Shanes 10.4 is fast as shit but I bet he still wasnt happy knowing that he might of gotten lower 10's or high 9s had 4 gear not sheared

You're racing yourself then, I'm quitting at 10.x.

**Halon** · 09-01-2005

congrats man. I'm getting annoyed because my car seems so close, yet so far still from being done. I'm jealous of ya! Enjoy it this weekend man!!

**JET** · 09-01-2005

Well, I got it fully warmed up last night. No oil or coolant leaks! I was having issues with the idle though. Shane is hooking me up with a new map and the car is going on the dyno Wed. I have a wideband, so pump should be set up pretty good. We will probably make a few pump gas pulls then go to C16.

There isn't a hood or bumper cover on it. The wheels need to go back on, then it is ready to take for a spin! The roomies car is in the way though, so we have to push that out of the way first. She should be on the road tonight!!

Matt D. · 09-01-2005

Awesome. But this comment worries me...

You're safe with just tossing in a map (yes, I know, it's from Shane) rather than massaging yours from scratch?

I am hoping for 11's but would be satisfied with 12's on my FWD.

Shane is going to massage Nash's map for me. The injectors are slightly different (850's vs. my 950's) and Nash has a 5 bar MAP vs. my 3.5 bar. Other than that they should be very similar except for my head and cams.

Matt D. · 09-01-2005

Understood, makes sense now, and will save a lot of time. I'm still torn between AEM and DSMlink myself, but that's a whole other topic. Hope to see your car around sometime before snow falls.

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 09-01-2005

Well, even Nash's is a totally untuned guess at a basemap. But it's hopefully something with the basics setup for his specific map sensor, injector size, and motor size that the car will start on and then he can start getting it close enough with his wideband.

Uhh, you haven't seen Shane's magic on the keyboard yet. Besides, you can switch back in about 30 seconds.

**JET** · 09-03-2005

Well, the startup is decent on it, starts in 4-5 cranks. Idle is pretty solid at 1100 RPM (big cams). I need to get my hood and front bumper cover on to drive it more!

The thing is a bit of a handful though. That twin disk bites pretty hard! Add that with almost no torque from the ported head, big cams and oversized valves, and it doesn't like slow speeds at all. I also have a welded viscous in right now and that isn't helping things either.

Time to get some breakin miles on it and start to do some tuning!
