Thread: i race

thats sick. do you have air as well? i figured i'd keep mine incase i sell the car, but it wont idle with air with the cam i have.

Absolutely. It's a SD tune, since it idles at ~1850, and cam is .864/861 on 108 lobe sep. The a/c doesn't phase it in the least. I've actually been reprimanded a few times for running the air in the staging lanes at events- ****, it gets hot in a black car, suit and helmet.

so sick...

You're right... Sick is cutting up a new car to do this shiz to- It has 14K on it to date.

Oh yeah... And more. I'm slow in the LS world, there's some ridiculous stuff going together now'days.

Well, maybe botched, maybe just awesome prep at the Thunder Shootout, maybe a combination of the two. We'd been trying to dial in the rear shocks, and assumed that the track would be going away as the night set in... Wrong. It's stood up a few times before, but never as hard and fast s it did that night. And I may have been a little tighter on the clutch than I should have been...

why does your back tire look funny or is it just me?

I believe that would be the "wrinkle" side wall for added traction.

for serious? you just asked that?

ding, ding, ding... That's what sold me on 'em over full out slicks- Ridiculous traction like the ET Drags I was running previously, and the high speed stability of a radial. M/T out did themselves on the new Drag Radials.

Waiting for track times.

Ive been in multiple turbo GPs and according to your speedo it really doesnt seem THAT fast. Looks like you have to granny shift out of fear the clutch/trans will explode also.

BFGs blow... They're the reason "Drag Radials" got a bad name with the racers in the first place. The M/Ts are a whole different world- They match my best 60' on the Bias Slicks, track straight and true on the big end, and no tail wag when you get out of the throttle at 150+ mph.

Oh, and I actally picked up ~2 mph trap with 'em.

Over the last 25 years, i've run a little of everything... I know of what you speak. The previous tire was a 29X14.00 slick... Oh~ it's got a Detroit locker in it-How fun was that.

track day is the 18th

Yeah, Granny shiftin', not double clutchin' like you should...LOL



Somebody had to.
