Some 40-140 mph times for the BNR Stage 3s
 

I should've posted this the day it happened, but this whole "deploy to war" thing has taken up most of my time :).

At the tail end of a tuning session with Kan, I made about ten 40 to 140 runs. In the past, with the stock twins and a high flow cat as the only differences I ran a consistent 18 seconds flat.

I started in 2nd gear and went allllll the way to 8k in 4th gear. I was running about 1.10 to 1.14 on the power fc, with my 17 inch Fikse rims. I'm positive that these times would've been even quicker with the stock rims on. With ole' Steve-o running the stopwatch, I consistently hit 14 seconds flat. I was shifting quickly, but not exactly Kan-quick ;).

For a frame of reference, I checked out an article on Dodge's new big bad 500ci, 500hp, 525 torque monster Viper. 40 to 140 in 15.1 seconds. Looks like I've got the snake beaten--not bad for a completely streetable, potential daily driver, huh :D?

Damn, nice numbers dude. What magazine is the 40-140 in 15.1 for the Viper from. Also, is the 369 rwhp in your sig on the BNRs or the stockers? Thanks.

everytime I think of purchasing a t-04e you post a killer thread on your bnr's

great work!

aww man i really can't wait to get mine now

The military movers already took the mag. I think it was a Car and Driver from some months back.

the 368 is on the stockers. I figure I was making 400-425 when I made these runs.

Not trying to tease, just trying to share the wealth. BNRs for all :D:D:D!

Rich

i wonder if 460rwhp @ 15psi would do it faster.....

IIRC, when i did the same run while tuning, it took about 11.5 seconds according to the haltech dataloggit and i also wasnt shifting fast...wasnt exactly trying to time it, just ended up going back and looking at it.

vosko - post some results!

i've blown 2 diffs in 3k miles. gotta put another diff in....

Rich,

awesome numbers!!!!

But why do you think that the stock tires/rim would have been faster? Arn't you running the same overall diameter?

Probably because of the weight difference.

I thought the Fiske rims were lightweight? Well, probably not as light as the stockers. Nice times and not bad for twin turbos. Your rims aren't near as heavy as my 18 inch chrome slugs - they are heavy.

Tires weigh more than wheels. Wider tires weigh more than the stock ones.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh:D

Wider tires cause more Air drag (Higher CD) as well.

Nice #'s from my favorite FD on the forum! Thanks for the HiFlow Cat BTW!

This is great news, as I will be upgrading to BNR stage 3's too.

great times rich...you must be having a blast.

perhaps one day...our cars will cross paths.

man 14 seconds of pure adrenaline

good job Rich...you are going to miss your baby I'm sure

those BRN's sound like they mean business... :D

Aww, I'm blushing :D

Why is my baby your favorite? Could it be the Veilside Combat Shogun body kit, or the 19 inch Bling-Blnag chrome rims, the double-decker 747 dual wing spoiler, the neon-strobe valve stem caps :cool:?

Only one way to find out. "Actions speak louder than words" ;)

Of course, if part of your drivetrain explodes at a buck forty.... :D

seq or non seq?

i did a few of them without timing. no driveline part exploded although my differential is unhappy to say the least :D

How about this...I didnt do a 40-140 but I did do a 60-140 in 10 - 10.5!!!! I started at 60 in 3rd and mashed it all the way to the top of 4th.

Hey Vosko, why dont you try yours out and see what you come up with. I'd like to compare some
