Mr. Incontt,
Thanks for the invite I would love to showup and get some or better yet take some but....
Two things 1. I'm in another state training some fine gentleman to take care of the u.s.a I will be back shortly.
2. I will be at the next event "bama". If you like you can come play with some toys and please don't forget your turbo the last v8 had a charger but he learned how to read my License plate "V8 Killr"
It aint bragging you you back it up. LOL joke'n
Do you mean Bama dragway in Sumiton?
Good luck on the training and we appreciate what you do and provide.
You would not be the first "v8 killr" I have raced. Every import event I have been to has had faster imports than my car....but I aint skurred
slower than you
Your to kool bro I like your attitude.
Thats what I was told its all about. Being proud of your choice of weapon and battle like true gladiators. People take it to darn serious, V8 or a bike you own it have faith in your shit.
Mike will get his shit together eventually. I have been where he is and was running a lot slower while doing it. You keep finding the weak links and upgrade. If he wants to RACE and not just tnt like me, he should turn the power down so he can go rounds and work on that 60'. He could get more et out of just the 60' than he could by adding 300hp on the last half of the track. I will say this.....he has the balls to keep showing up....he breaks but he is out there trying to work out his combo. You gotta give props to him for that vs some of the keyboard racers out there. Nobody likes the embarrassment of breaking but it happens when you lean on it and he's leaning on it.
slower than you
Yeah. I give him a freakn A for effort. I just want the guy to listen to the ones who have been there and know. Turn that shit don't a get a damn pass in. Learn your surroundings before cranking it up. Many times I'm sure he didn't need to go max boost for the win. People remember your last failure longer than your first accomplishment.
He know if my ass wasn't so damn busy my car would be at the big payouts also.
the 60 ft is what I've been fighting with. That's why the driveshaft broke at the launch. Like you say, I was leaning on it hard. I'm on the "waiting list" for an upgraded transfer case that will accept a larger diameter yoke. That's my last major weak link.
*fingers crossed*
But you're damn right, I go to the track whenever I can...its called seat time and learning my car. That's how you get faster and more consistant...just as you were saying.
I've had several successful 9 second passes this season. I just came back from a big race in Ohio where I had 3 9's in a row and nothing broke. (probably weakened then driveshaft). Luck would just have it that my shit broke at this race. I was trying to improve my 60' and the driveshaft disagreed with me. You have to keep pushing if you want to get faster.
Yea I think almost every time I have been to Reynolds I've seen your (gastroker) car out there running. I have yet to see it make a good pass but I always anticipate it cause the car looks and sounds sick. Usually sounds like it's breaking up pretty bad. What's been the problem with it? I and a few of my friends have always wondered. We're out there rootin for ya though.
It took me AWHILE to accept I needed to turn mine down to get mine sorted out. Here is what did it for me...I would do an online HP calculator (no comments on the accuracy) after a night at the track. The MPH might indicate I made 800hp but the ET indicated I only got 700 to the ground. I didnt need to make more power....just use what I already had. Once I left the power alone and worked on the suspension and tune for the first 330' things came together. The last time I went to the track was a friday night at SDR and then 2 days later to steele. My runs went like this and in this order
9.86 9psi
9.83 9psi with shock adjustment
9.66 12 psi
9.64 12 psi and shock adjustment
9.50 14psi and shock adjustment
9.44 14psi and tune adjustment
9.39 14.5psi
My friends can tell you how long I spent at 9 and 12psi until it ran the numbers it was supposed to. Once it did and I upped the boost the ets did exactly what they should. Now the hp calculators only show a 4hp difference between MPH hp indicated vs ET hp used. Thats thinkin with ur dipstick Jimmy.

Mr.Incontt
So what times are you running now? Thats nice numbers for low boosts, That car reminds me of the show on speed channel PINKS. The ws6 against the honda kid.. It was a damn ass spanking I didn't want to see ever again. Never did they put a real import with a V8.
I havent run since then. That was September 12th i think. Im missing 2-3 mph on the back half of the track so thats my main concern ...figuring that out. We will see if the larger turbine housing helps next weekend. The spool has slowed but I reached my goal of a 9.3x at 15psi or less so its all just educational now. I may not ever go faster than a 9.3x....I can live with that....I get nervous after 140mph....I can not handle the mph that Mike runs.

I've not had any breaking up issues this year. Not sure what u were hearing.it hits the rev limit in first gear sometimes
Incontt u make a good point. I was starting to play with my suspension just recently to help with the 60'. I think I stiffened it too much in the rear which shocked the driveline too much. The intent was to keep more weight on the front tires to reduce spinning but the biproduct was shocktreatment to the rear.
Mr. t2ku
Please take it easy on the tune question... We wouldn't want to start a new convo on EFI 101 or setup 101. The break up was maybe the nos bouncing the revs pass its limit before shifts.
When you talk about someones tune it like callin them out....lol
Its all constructive bro be easy
I have heard it several times too...I always thought it was rev limiter and/or overly rich by the soundMr. t2ku

hmm Mr.GASTROKER,
You care to explain the madness in your breakups? I think I know but like every test question the answers are in the back. How much juice; Nos; Gas; are you choke'n your motor with? Some have said 150 hp then some say none....... the public would like to know
On a awd setup I got NO advice to offer...no idea what might work. An auto would be so much better on parts and the 60' but I dont think thats an option for you
slower than you
I have a 150 shot for spool up. When boost reaches a certain PSI it shuts off. It does do it sometimes if I bog really bad on the launch because the rpms get too low and it loads up on fuel. You may have heard that because I know I've had several bogged launches most of which were earlier in the year when I had the nitrous turned off completely.
I've always been pretty public with the status of my car. I have nothing to hide. So I guess that would explain why some say 150 and some say. None. Depending on what point in the year I was asked I may not have been using the bottle.
So to recap:
Bogged launch = breakup in 1st gear
Spinning launch = bouncing off rev limit in 1st gear
No break up in other gears
For those that don't know me but want 2 see the car I found a few pics
enjoy.
why cant i make the pics go bigger? Mike did you break my internet?
slower than you
yeah, I'm having that same problem.... I'm trying to make it larger but its not working. I'm a Trained killer not a IT person. Give me a min to adjust back to civil life and correct the photos. until then squeeze your eyes
Okay,
Sorry if its a lil big. Now these photos were taken last year things have changed thus far. The car setup is on a lower stance and has been scaled out (drag racer lingo). If you want specs ask otherwise I don't want to brag.
So to the ricers that never been 9's or 8's do you think you would beat your light bill and call me out........ choose your battles wisely
I wish serving in the military and 7 second passes made people less of an asshat. You sir, just come off as an unplesent person.
I'm both.yeah, I'm having that same problem.... I'm trying to make it larger but its not working. I'm a Trained killer not a IT person. Give me a min to adjust back to civil life and correct the photos. until then squeeze your eyes
