A few in-car clips from 25MAR06 Drag Day

kilroy · 03-29-2006, 06:55 PM

Granny shifting @ 6400, bone stock suspension, 93 Octane, 3805 lbs. on Jackson's scales.Oh yeah, virgin MT ET Street DRs

First Pass with BadMoFo
2nd Pass
3rd Pass
5th Pass - with bigdog1280. I reset the Raptor to 6100 so I could attempt to powershift... Well, it didn't go so well - but did get a 128.66 trap outa the deal. Cold track after waiting 90 minutes, air was 52*. My hopes were dashed for the ten slip on the unexpected on its face bog. Next time...

Big thanks to Rick & Linn of ATS for all their support over the years

you guys rock!

Sweet, so James are you going to line up next to me next time. I believe it'll help us both run better. You being faster than me will help me try to keep up, or I'll try too hard and miss a shift

We sure tried to pair 'em up didn't we? Something funny happened up front & the next thing I know you're two cars ahead out of sync.

Are you gonna run True Street @ Commerce in two weeks? We could get-r-done there

& I need some pressure there, too. Last time there I made a very funny video out of it...

I would love too, but I don't have the money or the time right now. Maybe later in the year I'll be free and we all can get up together one day

OEM suspension - stock IRS except it is braced. Be nuts not to do that, imo - even on OEM rubber. But zero benefit in aiding a launch it just keeps your pumpkin in 1 piece.

On snappage... I've been leaving 5k or better for well over a year on ET Street bias ply recently replaced & before that BFG DRs. I expect the shafts to go all the time - it just never does. I also have OEM 10-spline input shaft. All the weak links are there. I've heard of people snappin half-shafts leaving the teller's window at a bank - so don't ask me why mine are holding. But also don't tell me you will snap unless you have snapped. When it occurs, fix &/or upgrade.

On an aborted dyno run (wheels blowing off @6k) she made 575/523 - Rick says still 600-610rwhp but I've yet to be back with the new MT DRs for it to hook.
The car is daily driven & not roughly... until I back into the waterbox

I am wating for my half shafts to snap so I can upgrade to level 5 and put in irp bushings. For some reason I have a huge amount of rwtq. I guess it is in the tune and the sct mass air. By the way your #'s are great

Tempt fate a few times when you're prepared to upgrade & up your launch rpm & drive it like a $3k dollar bracket car. You might just be surprised at how well she holds together - or you might be upgrading.
