Lets see how bad I can drive this thing. I'm driving it to and from the track (30 minutes eacg way).

My plan is to start out with a 6K pill in the two-step and see how well that launches the car. I don't want to start out with the 8K pill because I'm afraid of breaking the transmission.

I'm also going to start out with 16 psi in my ET Streets.

Boost controller set on KILL.






Any advice? I've had butterflies for the past week just thinking about this. I don't want to wipe out.

 

Got anywhere to practice a few launches?

 

Meddle is coming over tommorow, we'll probably drink some beer and practice some lauches in my neighborhood.

 

Godspeed!

 

I know you'll get that 9 second timeslip, but what do you expect to see for your trap speed?

 

16psi? I thought you have a 23psi spring?

filming right?

 

16psi in TIRES.

 

2500lb raceweight and 600+ whp translates into 147mph. With me driving, probably 120 mph

 

Yeah, going to have several people video taping. 16 psi in the rear tires and 27.5 lbs of boost.

 

BTW, Lupe, the RE-Worx guys didn't launch hard.... eased the clutch quite a bit..... and they ran in the nines@142, at 27 psi with same turbo as you, and with 53 less hp than you and likely carrying several hundred more pounds. You should best them by quite a bit, but it's hard to predict just based on peak power rating alone. Of course, it's area under the curve that really counts. Oh yeah, and a good alignment don't hurt (lol)

 

ah...I read too fast.

sounds like it will be one hell of a ride!! Good Luck and have fun!

 

What are weather conditions expected to be?

 

Mostly cloudy, high of 78 and low of 63

 

get your runs at the track on tape.

 

Can't wait to see the video...good luck!!

 

I'll have them videotaped.

 

Good Luck
Hit the 9's for us.
Awesome ****** FD

 

dont die

 

Good luck, Lupe! Can't wait to see the vids.

BTW, i just noticed how you did your cut-off switch, thats awesome, i'm going to copy you.

 

Take some sand bags to the track?

I'm excited for the vid, I've been waiting for you to take the car back to the track with 603hp, hopefully you don't have as bad of traction issues this time.

 

that car looks sooo mean!!! i wish it would go on tour so i could see it lol... good luck

 

Updates???

 

Not racing until tommorow

 

good luck on being safe bro, that car is going to be more than a handful!!!! i don't doubt you'll hit the 9's if you can keep it straight.

and as said... beautiful machine there

 

Good luck Eric pay attention in third gear and dont let off to fast it should be feeling light about then. Anyway best of luck and get the 9's.
