LUPE, don't feel too bad. The only time that I've taken my fd down the strip, I couldn't get into third gear....BOTH PASSES! I'm too embarrased to post what I ran as a result.

Thats an awesome quarter mile time. what was your 60 ft time ? At 129 mph you should be running about 10.40 with traction. If your car weighs 3000 pounds your rwhp is right around 495-515. Nice combo, not too many people are making that much power.

I would have trapped more than 129mph and ran quicker than 10.74 if I would have had a clean pass and didn't let out. Based on my 1/8 mile mph, I should be trapping around 136mph or so.........

Just for reference...

What's the problem you are having with your burn outs?
It's was a good pass regardless. Room for improvement,yes but you got the job done. That pick up didn't have a shot in hell.

I think my feet are too damn big to side step and hit the brakes while doing the burnout. Also, I've got 11.5 et's on the back so they don't like to spin very easily.

My burnout was was a prostreet type. I'm only able to do a rolling burnout.

I have to literally put about 50lbs of force against my shifter to keep it from popping out of 1st gear

Try it without side steppin. Rev up to 7k, dump it then stand on the brake with your left foot and just hold the gas and the brake to the floor at the same time. Left foot on brake, right foot on gas. Werks ok for me.

Nice run LUPE. I commented in your thread in the Rotary Performance forum as well. I am very interested to see what kind of times you'll post once you get back on the track and have a clean run. Congrats again!

Yeah, I knocked a hole that's 2 inches wide in the side of my tranni. JB WELD fixed it good

Davinci's AF61R turbo sounds just as loud as my HKS T51R KAI. That's the only turbo that's ever heard that has sounded similair to mine.
