I'd be HAPPY to discuss it with you.
Your reply does not offer anything remotely useful to the thread short of publicly showing your distaste against me.
When someone mentioned wanting to run 800 lb-ft through a stock FC rear end, they are either smoking crack...have no idea what they are getting into...or have some super secret device that no one else has ever thought of.
Find me ONE member on this forum that has put down 800 lb-ft through their RX-7?
I can't think of any off the top of my head right now; LOTS of people claiming they are going to, but I've never seen the proof to back up their boasts.
Now find me ONE member on this forum that has put down 800-lb-ft through their stock rear end?
...yeah, I thought so...

2. yes ReTed can be an *** sometimes but retarded posts make ppl want to be asses.
3. this guy is having SOMEONE ELSE build his car and he knows nothing of the process......if he had d one his HW he would have known that the TII drivetrain will not hold up to 800lb/ft of torque.
4. could it be that perhaps *GASP* ReTed KNOWS WHAT HE's TALKING ABOUT???????* dbl GASP*
quit posting retarded **** and ppl will be nice to you....use common sense people.

His "simple answer" would suggest a knowledge based answer

Sure, how about you build it...run a time slip...get it on a dyno when it hits 800 lb-ft, and I'll eat my words.
How about $100?
Is it worth it to you?

rarson - It won't have most of that for $17K (for now just a cage and scatter shield). The goal is to run low 10s off the bottle and then get one good full blown pass on the bottle before I get kicked off the track.

This guy has got to be a 13 year old kid playing around and trying to heat everyones collars up.
800ftlbs?
I would guess that would skatter any FC drivetrain and twist up the chassis so fast it would auger into the ground.
Very few drivers can handle what you are talking about, much less true engineers to do what you are pondering. Done right you are talking a full ground up build up witha .120 wall tube chassis and some serious drivetrain.
The fact that you even posed the inital question makes me scared for your life or just makes me think you are playing around.
This has got to be a joke....

^I'm telling you.....he has no idea WTF he is saying........he's paying SOMEONE else to do the job and is trying to lower the cost of the project............it's retarded and not gonna happen with TII ANYTHING!!!!! He should have done his HW or LEFT IT TO THE PEOPLE THAT KNOW WTF THEY ARE DOING (i.e. the mechanics)

Any old joe can buy a V8 crate motor and with the right ancillary stuff can get about 5-600 hp and MAYBE 500 ftlbs. From that point you are talking an exponentialy greater ammount of money, time, tuning, chassis, driver, and it will probably still pop the first time down the strip....
Cummins Turbo DIESIL will do it with a chip i think....

I beleive Corksport sells upgraded axles for the FC that can support 800hp for $549.

SleeperFC: Whats the fun in overpaying someone to build your car? I rather mod my airbox and show it off, then let someone see something I haven't done myself (which is something I'll never experience, I do it ALL myself). Plus have you driven a 10 second car? Like RETed says, you're going into a wall ;o.
Tournapart: STFU, I check the forum once or twice a day, Ted is just helping people out with realism. He has done more swaps and builds then you'll ever do. We're lucky to have people like Ted who have had their hands dirty with EVERYTHING on these cars. Respect his answers.

The FC was cheap (< $750), the weight ratio is good for road racing later on if I change my mind, and it is light. I agree, it is a waste of money, but it's just something that I want to do.
About never driving a 10s car - anyone that has driven a 10s car didn't always drive a 10s car.

Are you planning on a 4-link, ladder bars or something else? An offset 3-link is much better for handling and will give equal tire loading under acceleration, but needs to be executed correctly.

I think "800 foot lbs" is just a red herring.
A guy on torquecentral ran a 9.42 on the T-II rear and humiliated a poopra and cut a 1.3 second 60' time. I SERIOUSLY doubt youd need to change out the T-II for STRENGTH unless you have a manual, slicks, and serious power... or a transbrake P
The option of broached 300M axles and a C4 or Cobra pumpkin is there, along with tons of gear choices from 2.73 to 5.something if you run megatall tires :P

you will NEVER be able to 'road race' in a v8 FC with 800ft/lbs torque. EVER. i doubt it would even be able to turn. you're talking pure drag strip only car at that point, which makes it completely stupid to this in an FC.

I am going to cancel the idea for now since I couldn't get the money to get everything built before the tracks close. I am going to sell the FC and all the parts and get something better looking. I hope to post about it within two months.
