60ft-- 2.1
1/8th ET-- 9.2-- 77.6mph
1/4 ET-- 14.2-- 97.7mph

I am satisfied for now... but it made it better since my crap talking 355 camaro step brother only ran a 15.8 . Ha
I think my straight from 1970 4 banger Opel GT could beat that if rob and i ever get around to putting proper jets in it. the way phillip talked i thought he would do better. maybe he and i should line them up.

Haha, yeah you guys should line them up... He wasn't too happy but his car has the engine but all it has is an auto tranny without a stall and 3.08 gear out back so it is far front "set up" for a race, or at least from a dig. He is putting a set of 3.73 or 4.11 in the rear. That will make a huge difference...

yeah, they have a youtube vid of it too that i haven't been able to watch over here dangit lol. i had heard a lot about 4 rotors appearing out of new zealand for awhile, so i lurked in the newcomers section on here and asking every new member from new zealand if they knew how to get a hold of the shop that was doing it. finally one of them knew what i was talking about and gave me the url for their site. they have some pretty wicked cars lol

I wasn't planning of posting it cause it's kinda ghey.
We only had one legitamite race, and he was really bad on reaction time.
Well....we both were but his is really bad.
I guess I'll post it since I promised you yesterday.
Give me a few minutes.

vids would be nice but i at least wanna hear how it went. he's not a dragger so i figured with that and his car not being set up for it going from a dig would be tough for a legit race

He's running 15lbs and I'm running 12-13 lbs.
BUT he's running 60psi in his tires, and he was too lazy to drop the pressure.

First race he was so late that it made me think I mis heard the honks, so I let off.
Second race is what you see there.
Third race was a roll from 40 but nobody honked so he just went and I couldn't catch him.
4th race was another roll from 40 but I was on high boost so I won.
5th race was supposed to be another dig but it never happened because his clutch was slipping.

trust me i was trying to get him to drop air and better utilize what he did have but ya he can be quite lazy at times. from that vid i am suprised he kept up as well as he did though. that thing only has as sc60 or something so he isnt making that big of power, but it was tuned quite well from what i saw the other weekend at the drift event.

btw i will be on the street next year on a limited basis so we will have to line ours up for some fun times

also anyone know how late muncie runs? if i survive putnam next weekend i am considering going to muncie and seeing if i can grenade another diff to see what it will do.

also what is "high boost"for you......

No biggie.
He was running more boost than I was, and his car weighs about 700lbs less than mine not including the extra passenger I had with me, so I think the difference in turbo size wouldn't have been that big of deal.
I think if he wouldn't have been sleeping, it would've made a REALLY good race.
That's why I wanted to do that last dig, but his clutch wouldn't have any of that.

I'd be down to clown, but an hour and a half on the way down, and an hour and a half on the way back on the bike is most certainly less than pleasurable
