... track tomorrow nite, stay tuned

 

woot another tc in the low 11's or 10's!

 

what track?

 

my friends honda civic EK runs mid 9's but its over 700whp.

Prior to that he was 500+ whp running like 14-15's. I don't see how the track #'s will relate to his dyno numbers, supra's are dyno queens but you dont see those 1000 whp supras running 9's. Took him over 5 years I think I heard, for him to get into the 9's.

With that in mind, is the argument about his dyno #'s being false? or him being a bad driver and can't control his 400+ whp car?! His track time i'm sure willl have a big impact in relation to his dyno #'s, but considering he's a good driver.

 

the argument is that the numbers are false. not that he cant drive. besides their shop "stig" should be driving if i remember correctly. if the numbers are true, then they should run better than 12.09 and trapping better than 115 mph like scion speed did using an e-manage.

 

im sure the et isn't gonna be there....
im more interested in the mph

 

if anyone lives near thunder valley has a video camera, please show up there tomorrow night and post results.

 

thunder valley is correct... anyone who wants to video (besides me) can come. Will not run 12 anything, not switching tires just for this, same 'ol Nitto New Gens. MPH is what we are looking for. And yes, sumone else who can drive better than me will be driving.

 

Hmm...

I might be able to make it out tomorrow night.

Spd_Rcr, I'll shoot you a PM if I'm able to get out there.

 

cool... are you the guy that has the black WRX?

 

All right guys i'm glad to see that everyone is getting along now (or at least pretending in a good way, lol)
Anyway, keep it up and everything will be good !

Good luck OP and don't brake your axels !

I want to go to the drag strip in october and do few passes just to see what i can get, but i'm scared i'm going to tear up my axels. I will be running dunlop direzza Z1 star spec 255/40/17. I dont know i might go and just roll it in and concetrate on the MPH instead of doing burnouts and launching the car like i stole it...

 

Yeah, even though your friend couldn't drive, he probably had the trap speed of a low 11 second car.

 

i don't remember what his trap speed was, it was probably pretty high lol

 

Well... for s/g we were gonna try to find a set of slicks to throw on the car for tomorrow nite but we didnt have any on hand 5x100... may have been a good thing cuz I dont feel like breakin the axles right now

 

That is Mark. He was on a few of the boards before I came on with DW. I'll let him know you will be running tomorrow night, and see if we can both make it out.

 

+1. Mph is what you should pay attention to, since it's not on slicks.

 

O ok, cool. not sure if I ever met you then. Need to talk to guys about some injectors anyway...

 

true. but as you saw from the vid he doesnt really spin much. aj went 120mph on proxes 4's all seasons and he was making around 415-420 @ 20 psi.


lets get our mph predictions going. i say 113 mph.

 

lolz? 420whp only trapping a 120?

 

Only trapping a 120... what should I be trapping?
