Allan-Herbie Report post Posted November 23, 2009 What is the BHP/Torque spec of yours compared to Sprites? IIRC Sprite is running E-gear and when it comes to these turbo systems that surely has to have a big factor in the total time? In a 50/60-130-150 run how many times are you shifting? in a 60 to 130 run I am shifting once.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan-Herbie Report post Posted November 23, 2009 My car has a different wheel/tire/suspension setup and I have minimal tire spin at 30+ psi and feels very secure. Kyle what are you running? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyBobby Report post Posted November 23, 2009 what are you running? 19" Toyo R888s and Penske's. I do not have boost by gear either....full boost in every gear. At the mile event, the tires never spun in the 3 runs (all over 231mph). UR is going to release the vid very soon of the runs and you can see the tires hook like crazy w/ that setup. All sub 4 sec 60-130s too. Have fun on race gas. Kyle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyBobby Report post Posted November 23, 2009 P.S. Get rid of the 20's! Not a good combo w/ TT's! Kyle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skokos Report post Posted November 23, 2009 30 PSI Kyle? What are you running..a cummins diesel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboArt Report post Posted November 24, 2009 Another thread on my behalf, how popular I must be. Anyway, just came back from a drag racing event and was out of town. If you like we can just run some 60-130 times and compare V box files for now. I remember you told me that you are not available this coming weekend either so we will plan a run down the line if you want.

Well well, lookee who it is.. you read the thread 20X and decided to reply? So you went to a drag racing event? Great! How did that turn out for you? Compare vbox times? Ok.. but I feel its only fair we run on the same exact road as from my trials even the slightest decline makes a nice improvement in times.. I can give you my remote location which is extremely good for obtaining times.... But I still feel we will certainly need to race as I am very excited to see our race video posted on the front page of streetfire one day Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure Accichelli will be hitting the 3 second club before I will as he already went 4.09 with a slipping clutch.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboArt Report post Posted November 24, 2009 Is the remote location safe to go head to head? Is it a two lane with no oncoming traffic? Just give me the date/time a couple of days earlier next time.

VBUGKING Report post Posted November 24, 2009 I have actually gone 4.03 with a slipping clutch when I turned the boost up over 18psi. I ran 4.09 on 18 psi. My car will easily go sub 4s once the new clutch is in. Aaron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give me the date/time a couple of days earlier next time. Let's just say my cars trap was the highest from the shootout It is not good for any head to head runs... if it was I would of blown your doors off there already... It is however good for repeated single runs.. Funny how you have to be secretive about everything... Your trap speed was the highest of the shootout... GREAT... you could of been racing a bunch of Hondas... Maybe then we find out you are lying... then you can say you were only kidding kind of like your 1300rwhp dyno Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kane00 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 If the two of you were smart, you'd get up early and do this on Thanksgiving day. I've made many a runs at 7-8am on that day as well as Christmas day and there is no one around. Either way, just get the goddamn thing done and stop talking.

Liquid Report post Posted November 24, 2009 Nice times, Allan. Please be sure to get this on video so we can all celebrate. Also, the R888's are great tires. Even for tracking the car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
