book your seats for the 3 pm main tent. i will need names and and friends names, no limit to friends.

g-force, dont worry you and i have the right diameters as we are running the same tires and sizes.

the transfer case and the dif blew due to the incorrect tire ratio, if your off by over 6% in diameter its good night. I do give it to Autotalent, Zolti in particular as he installed new 62mm precision turbos and had to hack up the intercoolers and reconfigure the system to make it fit without calling Heff. the car is an absolute monster, did 100mph on the freeway in third stomped the gas and broke the car loose instantly. it is a night and day difference than before. O gara gave the job over to Autotalent for reasons unknown, but here are some more pics of why you need to run the correct diameter tires. they also had to fix the 2 stage manifold was stuck and didnt open at high rpm which needed fixing, here are some pics.

congrats are on the car you will be very pleased in the long run. i know i have been. safe driven.

More Power to the Ground Independent testing by a leading automotive magazine (Turbo) showed rear wheel horsepower gains of more than 5% with the simple switch to an carbon fiber driveshaft. This significant increase is primarily due to lower rotational mass of the driveshaft. Carbon fiber offers you more strength to resist extreme torque than steel with about half the weight. Just like the common use of lightweight clutch and flywheel units, a lightweight driveshaft allows more of you engine's power to be applied to the ground. In addition to minimizing rotational power losses, carbon fiber's unique vibration dampening characteristics also help improve power output. Engine builder's are familiar with the power gains that high performance crank dampeners can provide. ACPT's carbon fiber driveshafts give you similar benefits by cutting power losses due to drivetrain vibration. Driveline vibration is a common problem that can limit RPM. Carbonfiber driveshafts involvement in racing to apply expertise in aerospace composites to solve a vibration problem with IMSA race cars. In this front engine, rear transaxle race car, the driveshaft ran at engine speed. The metal driveshaft was experiencing harmonic whip, limiting usable RPM and forcing them to run the engine well below redline in each gear. a carbon fiber driveshaft that allowed a 1000 RPM increase in usuable engine speed and gave the engine a chance to work at its' power peak. The CF driveshaft as a major factor in winning the IMSA. Since 1987 many racers in all areas of motorsports have discovered the extra RPM and the resulting tuning flexibility carbon fiber driveshafts provide. All driveshafts twist to some degree when torque is applied. The resistance to this twist is measured as torsional spring rate. Standard CF driveshafts have a torsional spring rate a little less than aluminum and about half that of steel. The advantage of a lower spring rate is less driveline shock and a reduction of stress on other drivetrain components, as well as increased traction. Every part of your drivetrain may benefit from the use of a carbon fiber shaft. The continual twist when torque is applied eventually causes all metal shafts to take a set in the twisted position. Consequently the shaft ends become permanently out of phase by several degrees and vibration begins to break components. Carbon fiber, on the other hand, has a near perfect "elastic memory". Carbon fiber driveshafts can't fail by becoming permanently twisted. As RPM goes up, all driveshafts begin to whip. At a certain "critical speed", unique to each type of driveshaft, this bending of the shaft creates lateral runout and vibration. The intensity (magnitude) and frequency of these bad vibes are determined by a combination of stiffness, density, size, and geometry. This vibration is a primary cause of drivetrain breakage from the transmission to the rear end. The "critical speed" of the carbon fiber shafts is much higher than steel or aluminum shafts of the same size. Exceptional harmonic damping coupled with high lateral stiffness and low density allow carbon fiber driveshafts to virtually eliminate vibration problems from shaft whip. in laments terms when steel spins as at high rate of speed it turns into a jump rope like shape, vs CF which does not. see pic below.

Here is a picture of the CF driveshaft Stock PM sent The difference in weight is 3.6 lbs lighter from the factory steel one, the ends don't save much weight which is the heaviest part of the entire driveshaft. The shaft itself only weighs about 4 lbs. However the factory driveshaft is made of thin gauge steel which flexes a lot more than this solid one which transfer power a lot better. Eliminating the the joint in the center and using carbon fiber absorbs the power and transfer the power much better.

BTW someone hacked my password and posted the 300m halfshaft comment, but there is one thing id like to state that i am the one who had those sorced and developed, as wayne was kind enough to do all the leg work. so i think you should give me a free set of those new gears. so i can do a quarter mile in in 4th. my car is an 06 six speed. or just send over a motec unit with the wiring harness, ill be ok with that.

i agree the gears was an accomplishment, but the Motec was right on the money. i know the motec is freaking exspeive but i believe its worth it for a TTG.

please dont get me wrong i have the utmost respct for you, you came out strong with your first gallardo and killing it as you learn more an push the boundries. i was just stating for myself as a car lover this is what i look for is balance as i like the track and canyons i appreciate handling more than a straight line drag, unless im schooling a tricked out FGT guy that didnt know what just happened at the light as i smoke right past him off the line, now that brings a smile to my ego. it is no doubt UGR will not be beat in the quarter mile by any tuner, you do clean work use the best of the best materials, no one can deny this and you know i am a heffner fan as he is a great friend. but if i trully wanted a straight line monster i would go with the viper. but that day will never come for me. you are correct you build cars to the specs and demands of your consumers so i guess i cant say your nuts but some of your customers are. but UGR should look at the liabilty one carries for building such a beast. as for 1300hp being driven on a track with a pro driver, not gonna happen even with the penske coilover. as i said it before your doing a hell of a job as it shows. my comment wasnt to knock you but just to point out my opinion, thats it.

kevin you know i repect you and your amazing company,but your making cars to making drag cars, just stick with vipers as youll never get the gallardo to beat those times. what about suspension and practical use besides a quarter mile track. honestly your making these car which are absolute amazing and a work of art but straight traight line drag cars. i personally as a gallardo owner want a great balance of handling , braking and power to be with in sometype of balance. with the ability to tear the ass off most cars that roll up to me on a street eggin on a race, but i want a great balanced car. your incredible for breaking world records but that maybe the goal. with the product and knowledge your company puts out you could well do this, but i asume you got some rich midwesterners that come from a viper which lives for HP. 1500+ street 2wd turbo vipers, whats these guys think, i do insecuirty and just straight ignorance. find drive that baby how it should be driven with 1500 hp and you end up in a tree or doing circles on the freeway. the nera R is very impressive its goona be a great car for the airfield run. it should no doubt take it the record with out a close second in the G.

dont run out of runway, its real easy to miss judge howmuch time you need for braking at those speeds, not that ive ever hit them, but ive been i similar situations in drag races.

holy shit, you guys are trully crazy. looks good.

i know your running the 300m halfshafts but what about the tranny, your gonna run 1300whp on that tranny.

congrats on cracking the motec, definitely a great accomplishment. 1300whp thats one bad asss nera. do you have a sound clip wondering what those bigger burns canisters sound like. did you do it to reduce drone. what a tease no sound clip.

, i just installed the one piece carbonfiber front drive shaft and its is amazing, now i understand why everyrace team uses them. in the begining i thought it would have decent gains, but it was way way beyond that. not just a weight thing as its not a huge weight savings, but the way it displaces power to the front makes it some much more responsive and quicker. example, i live in beverly hills and drive Sunset blvd everyday so there are a few turns i can take at great speeds that kicks out the back end , not and intentional drift but because the rear just sways out, there was a sweaper that i could hit at 80 mph and now hit at 90 as the front end pulls so hard that it actually brings the back end in, i assume it can be hit even quicker, but i dont want to total the car figuring it out. its nothing i can explain from driving other 4wd cars, from my bentley, R8, 996tt or a wrx. although all these cars have different characticteristics as 4wd cars this new CF shaft is amazing. not only are you increasing the power to the front wheels, but you are getting a much quicker response, as power is displaced much quicker as CF doesnt flex where steel does, especially when you have a 2 piece with a joint. the R8 and the wrx is probably one of the best balanced cars i have driven, but this is something else. hard to explain in words, but if you know your car very well and have plenty of seat time on the G the difference is enormous. i drove the lp-560 and ill tell you right now this mod on the older g will allow it to out handle the lp-560 stock to stock vs the old g with just a CF front driveshaft, im not here to sell it as im making no money on the sales of it but i did sacrifice my shaft for 4 months to have them developed for someone to produce it and it handles 2000lbs of torque. it is a must have mod as its affordable and worth everypenny and more. i always try to bring something to the table that helps the community but this is the best one thus far. words can not explain it, where you see the biggiest gains is not in the launch, but in the turns. it helps the 4wd handling, something i didnt think it would improve, i honestly can not say whether the motons made as big a difference as the drive shaft did. that i how much better it is.
