If you're one of the "slower" cars, then it might be time for an upgrade soon :biggrin:

Throw a turn or two into that race and run it again. I doubt he's done the suspension work needed to do anything other than a straight line.

I hate that argument so much. It's so pointless. Of course his truck would suck at turns. It's a drag truck. It's built to go in a straight line. Bigs and littles. That's what it's for.
:scratch:

I hate spray.

KKMpunkrock2011 10-10-09 01:34 AM

spray is ok, I have quite a few friends who have it on the F-bodies/GTOs around here and it does wonders, cheap power. Just another form of power-adder.

Jager 10-14-09 11:31 PM

I thought it went good regardless. Nice runs.

Gohan3rdrift 10-15-09 12:51 AM

Thanks guys,
A fairly small shot (150) and ancient technology (carbed 350) has gotten him into single digit ets, so why wouldn't he squeeze.
I would too if it were that easy for us.
I'd be like:

I love nitrous! Just wish I could use it on my car without impending detonation. Oh well :lol:

If you're serious about it, you should talk to Steve Kan (known as Pluto on the forum).
He used to squeeze a 75 shot, while coming out of the hole.:eek:

Here is a vid of the truck killin me again at the track.
It starts at 0:30...
I spin 2nd and 3rd gear on the first run and let out.
I run 11.1 the second run and still not even close.

There's a 650whp FD in japan running 9s on street tires...with a 13B...I think it has a single turbo...but i'm not 100% sure. Was street legal...I find that pretty sick. No nitrous :P . Here's the link:

TRISPEEDFD3S 10-24-09 04:25 PM

Damn that truck is fast as FAWK, but it's still ugly as hell.

"You can polish a peice of shiet as much as you want, but it'll still be a peice of shit."

He's got a dope setup though. He has the ultimate EGO buster. I'd feel like shit If I raced him on the street. HAHA!

Trionic 10-24-09 04:37 PM

Nice runs. Nice car and nice truck too. No shame in losing to something like that.

Have any details on his engine? Displacement, compression, cams, etc?

Starfox07 10-24-09 11:45 PM

I'm pretty sure you would murder that truck from a roll motor to motor. Its obviously going to run quicker at the track because it is 100% set up for it. Run him from 40 again with no spray. You will pull at least 2 lengths and just keep on pulling if I were to guess. Hell you were right there with him on the 150 shot in the second race.

Double_J 10-25-09 07:31 AM

That truck gets out of the hole pretty damn fast!

Guy here has a point.

Gohan3rdrift 10-25-09 07:08 PM

Trionic:
He's running 11.0:1 CR on E85
I don't remember what cam is in there or carb...sorry.
He's told me, but I can't recall.

If it was motor to motor,
I'd be running 16sec 1/4 miles....13B-REW on no boost = FAIL
He'd beat me even worse.

Seriously..lol Nice truck and FD you have there!

Bottom line is you cant mess with small block power in a feather weight vehicle no matter how you put it! Torque is a wonderfull thing.

cmanns 10-26-09 02:25 AM

Seems like you need to get down the technique to laying the power down or need some fatter rear tires.

errr....motor to turbo? lol:dunno:

But watch your own second video again. The only point in which he pulled on you was when you were shifting. When you were in gear and ON power, you actually seemed to pull HIM. In fact I think it would not even be a fair race if he was off spray.
