Thread: XPZ cam thoughts

You can go fast with less if you gut the car to a rolling crap box, aka ruin it.

Plus if you wanna go fast and somewhat more reliably, gotta fork over some $$ for some hard parts.

and always be the slowest of the bunch!

pretty close

It was also a shell, with pin down hood, no exhaust and all that.

Not that being a roll shell of a car is a bad thing, but a detail that needs mentioned.

Once you get under 3000lbs magic starts to happen. Sean drove the family around and what not in it at times, so
didn't want to have a full drag car setup. Doing so ment, he was stuck in the mid 11s for the most part. He didn't
even run a cutout or drop the exhaust. So much left in it before he retired it

Weight reduction does wonders.

It does on any platform LOL...

But yeah, that car was a balls to wall mess that ran its junk off.

It has worked well for me on my heap. Once launching and anti-lag figured out, could hit higher 10s on 15 psi.
Car sits around 3000-3050 probably without driver.

But sometimes people "forget" details like that, and idea gets in peoples heads they can run 10s too with similar mechanical mods,
but don't do the weight reduction and get pissed they have to do much more mods or run much more boost, ect to get same results as
someone else.

Optic Armour has the glass @ http://www.opticarmorwindows.com/app...cturer=Pontiac

I am purchasing a complete kit, but may not use the door glass. As they dont recommend to use power windows.

Ill let ya know. I am gonna order it here soon if my fun funds come in next week. Gonna inspect them when they come in to see if worth doing the doors or not.. if not, ill sell em off.

... ya with mega trans of doom in the works for the good part of the past year... I am hoping I can keep a few luxury things like power windows due to the gains
from the trans alone. I plan on having majority of the interior back in the car. carpet, passenger seat and center console. Make it look almost stockish as possible to the untrained eye
without popping the hood

I am hoping. Trans brake I hope will fix problem of waiting so long on the line. Its a pain to stage currently. If can figure out a 2step, then make it 100x easier.

I wanna leave right on the light to get good runs vs the other guy.. as I'll run quicker times then other guy.. but I take off 3-4 seconds after the other person does.

It is fun when guys I run come to check it out. They got the end before me.. but my ET was way better. They usually get a kick out of the setup.

No shot yet as the T67 really doesn't have problem with spooling. I got it down to 1.5x 60 foots at yocal track with no glue after it rained right before track opened.

I am sure i could nail it down to 1.4x on a good track day.

With the pcm based anti lag that PRJ got me going on, I am at 100% throttle for a moment before letting off the brake. For the 1.5x 60 foots I am around 10psi at launch. And target boost hits pretty quickly.

I have a HKS boost controller with a 7psi spring. Ive played with boost maps to limit boost off the line as much as possible.
It doesnt have gear boost which would possibly help, but to be honest, my best 60s was with that part disabled. And Just use it for controlling my target boost is all.

With the PTE 7675 cea ball bearing turbo I have on there now to have for 2015 season, I may want to revisit the 50-75 shot idea .. Dave thinks it won't be a problem since ball bearing setup should help a ton and transbrake setup helping too... will see first time out there without a shot and then see if needed or not.
