Don't blame the equipment! It's up the the user to make the most of the tools!

 

Hold the phone. I just thought about this. Your big butt went 150mph with 640rwhp??!!

 

I was there to see it...

 

My phone is dead!
Call Aaron he's close by. He wants to witness history!
I was skinny back then!

 

with a bone stock tranny 700 + w/ a "race tranny" 600+

thats if you get off the "line" (bone stock tranny)



keep us updated marco !!!!

 

How many times did you achieve 150mph??

 

my bad MARKO !!!!!

 

So the stock tranny affects the 60ft?

 

Who me?

 

Yes.

 

IT only takes "1" time for us rotarys

and i'm not there yet ................. jus a dial away

 

I ran 150.47 on the 9.20 pass. I've been 151 and 152 and 149 a couple of times also. I've always asked for videos from back then from everyone. I've never seen any videos of my runs. Video cameras were not that popular in the last century!

 

So only once?

 

well the 3.48 not helping much not to mention 2.01 must i go on ............. but it's one hell of a challenge tho

 

I only hit 149mph once, but then again, only went 9's once too, but still went! lol..

And the stock tranny effects your 60' when the output shaft snaps like a twig!

 

I was j/k

 

10 bolt n Nash helped make it more then 1 time eh Cris? lol
I think Gaby went like 9.7/8@14X with 600 at 2900Ibs at moroso for comprison sake

 

I had 3.23 and 2.22!

 

What is your most reliable 60 ft with a stock gear box.

 

Get it right!
It was a 8.75 Mopar!

Back then racing was a serious buisness if you wanted to make it to the finals.
I was there when Gaby ran that! I don't think the car was at 600hp at that time because it was still on the smaller turbo.

 

When I got my launching down is when I REALLY started to break tranny's. I went from high 1.6x 60's down to low 1.4's and got about 4 passes out of a tranny.

 

Reliable means it actually made it down the track after the 60ft!
I know it was 1.3 something. More than likely a 1.39.
Anything quicker and it was a snaped output shaft. Most of the times the driveshaft could not be remove from a twisted shaft especially after breaking 3rd gear for like the million time.
Good thing is that there are ways around that now and it does not require a new main/output shaft for the tranny.

 

My buddy got a couple of mid to low 1.4's with BFG drag radials at one event. He even won a set of free tires for doing it!

 

Are you launching with full boost/power???

 

Theres a guy up in winter haven that makes helicut dog gear set
does away with 5th gear, but the weak point is still the shafts
I could even have a pro-shifted kit installed in a T2 transmission
but still again the stock shafts are the weak point , unless you have some slippage on your take offs....

My best has been 1.48 on stock suspension
