The drag car is getting even better. We hit 165 MPH last wed. We only made 8:45 due to traction/suspension problems which (we hope) have been corrected. We'll be going back next Saturday. We have made 8:32 @ 158 MPH... do the math....New times comming up soon!!!!

****.... good job!

 

very nice

 

god damn shiet... that's some good stuff!

 

pssssssh my car can hit 165 all day long...

















if your talking about miles per tank that is...

 

Way to go. It's fun to see a small shop/privateer hang in with the big money teams.

 

we gotta see a vid dude thats gotta be awsome!

 

yeaaa lets see some vids, thatd be nice

 

Man, thats what the **** im talking about. Are you the guys that turbo N/A blocks and race them? Get some vids man for sure! How do you guys like running that old-style distributor? I think im going to maybe run that setup with the same Haltech unit. Some people hate the old distributor, others, like you swear by it. Thanks!

 

im more of a roadracer/autocrosser, but I can still appreciate a lot of hard work and a FB that hauls ***! way to go

 

holy **** 8 1750cc injectors, thats alot of fuel!!
And That g-force tranny is clutchless right? I think that it is air shifted, but i dont remember, i do remember seeing one in a miata, with a rotary engine, was from puerto rico!

Clutchless but manual shifted. I have a video from about a year an a half ago when we were running 9's but nowhere to host it.

 

Lots of fuel but remember it's methanol.

 

Hah a 9 ford rear end

 

Since it is a dragster I'll toss this out in the air.
I think alcohol fueled cars use twice as much alcohol as they would fuel.
But I have no idea what he runs on. But just thought I'd mention that since that seemed like a lot of injectors.

 

You are right, we had to add injectors when we switched to alcohol.

 

I forgot to mention we use factory Mazda 2mm apex seals. On our next engine refresh we will be trying Atkins...

 

Can't wait to meat ya in the 8s

Those are some AWESOME times man... Mmmmmmethanol... I wish I could street drive a meth car... but I'm just gonna go for 8s on 93 octane SHA RIGHT! I'll prolly be running AV fuel and an aquamist setup or something along those lines... haven't got it completely ironed out yet.

 

We ran 8:37 with c16 fuel and nitrous before going methanol.

Update from saturday: Broke the tranny but ran 8:36 with a broken tranny not bad. Waiting for the gears to arrive. Still had a blast with the models from our sponsor at the booth. People kept on asking if the engine was broken so much that my cousin turned it on and reved the SOB up to 12,000 rpm's about 4 times then mouths were shut LOL.

 

Are you the owner of the car? I think the owners name is Louis? If you are, we have never met but, a friend of yours is a friend of mine. Rafael(Rabule) Zayas. Rabule keeps me updated on the Puerto Rican Race scene. I also coordinate the Team USA pan american guys. Last year Pepeloco had a good time over in P.R. congrats on the numbers and keep us posted.

 

Luis is my cousin, he is the owner. I know Rafael (Rabule) also he's a great guy!!!

 

We were at the Lucas Oil Atco event a few months ago. Were you there? We met a lot of nice people over there. My cousin redlighted against caneca!!! it happens.
