congrats ernie
keep it up I wish you all the best of luck on the g-force
I just sold my car so you on your own now

 

Congrats man I hope you mount that timeslip in a frame

 

Congrats Ernie. You have been "hunting" the 9's bracket and now finally part of it.

 

CONGRATS!!! Amazing how going back to basics can help sometimes...

I cant wait to see you with the G force.......

 

Good job Big Perm! Keep up the good work, and keep that motor running strong.

 

congrats ernie !!!!!! the same problem iv'e been fighting all year lol would post pic's , but this about you and not me. hope to join you really soon

 

What kind of problems have you been having Lee?

 

Well done Ernie! Congrats

 

stock tranny and stock suspension(basiclly). I told you. You had the whole time.
Crispeed was rightyour new 60ft- 300ft was very nice.

Im proud. GJ.

Spacers or roll the fender a tad. Either way- same thing.

 

Knew it was coming, congrats!

 

Good job. Now that you've reached this level, is there a desire to go faster? As in, was 9's your goal, or is there more in you? Again, good job, best of luck.

 

Thats a given, lol. Gonna put the G-Force in, take some weight out. Its a pig at 2855lbs. And turn the boost up. Who knows. IRS record?? Im probably getting a bit ahead of myself, lol.

 

so, what was the boost on this pass? i kinda thought it was low boost based on the mph

 

Same as always about 34lbs., my fenders were rubbing my tires so damn bad I lost 10mph! So I can only imagine what I would have run without an anchor slowing me down, lol...

 

You know what you need for your fenders?

 

Bout time!
Congrats and I'm sure you'll be dropping those times now that you've crossed "the barrier".

 

the tires rubbing, my mph in the 1/8 is 109-110 trap 135-138 runnin 10.30 -10.50 I have the wrong offset for a "big" tire 26x10x15 et street it's been fun tho I'm almost out of gas !!!!! (54gallon) drum i'm on the same motor from last year !!!!!! thanks to matt a forum member from ohio I will hopefully not have the rubbing issue, he sold me some mazda/ford bbs style drag wheels so i will be at the track in about a week n half I have yet been able to run 35 + psi yet ???? but i will say that by mistake I ran 42 psi safely. jus could not put it to the ground due to rubbing and clutch issues (worped tilton floater plate) and still ran a 10.90 @ 135 mph all over the track, at first i thought the track was shity until i looked at my data log lol ...........

 

Great job Ern! And so much more to come ............

I just contacted Bogart racing wheels. THey can make us custom wheels with ANY size and offset necessary. This may be a little expensive, but will fix our problems.

Thanks bro!

 

Holeshot wheels have a pretty good line of wheels. I've got 15X10 with a 2 inch backspace.

 

I just finished putting the holeshots on my car!

15x3 1/2 skinnies.
16x9x6 7/8 backspace with 3/8 spacer and i have good clearence!
1/8'' rear caliper grind on out board side no problem and clears toe and traling arms easy!

Plus i have 2 sets of et streets and didnt want to sell them cheap and go 15's.

 

charlie, post pics! which holeshots did you get?

 

The hole stars and there light lighter than the stockers by far!
The 16'' et is the same heigth as the 15's a little less side wall but more stable up top. I have the 10.5 and the 11.5 et's and the 9'' fits them much better.

Ill get some picts and have a kid post them for me!

 

Did you install the holeshots with the 26x11.5's yet? Can you take a pic and maybe post a link on where you purchased them? Thanks.

 

Ernie ill get picts this weekend from the inside and outside to show clearence!
I havent tried the 11.5's yet but i have run them with the stock wheels but it looks like they will work fine.

Im entered in a weekend car show [street machine nats] so ill try and post as soon as i can!

I know Rich Bogart and hes a great guy and has built me a set of one off wheels for the front of my gen 2 but he didnt have the 16'' wheels.

I like the way they look and will post soon!
