3800 1/2 mile wrecking crew

[Turbocharged400sbc]

ok so time to figure it out

who's up for it? who's up for helping? who's got trucks and trailers to tow home all the broken dreams


its probably not worth it to try and do top speed stuff with mine or d's bricks but the regal is slippery lookin and its got the power, coupled with a trans that hates abuse....so it's perfect for a nice leisurely 1/2mile run

if we only spin to 6500 in 3rd with the TCC locked...we should be good for 160

i kept the old rear agx's and springs to drop it back down, limiting straps on the front
put some new street rubber on it, a front chin plate under the IC, and tape off the front end, done

if we can squeeze 130 outta it in the 1/4, 30 of it on the back half i figure we'll probably be able to swing 150/160 outta it before it takes flight


HonestGumby is our driver so undoubtedly he'll be fine if he wrecks

In.

Like I said. If I grenade something, it will be a valiant life for my 155k mile stock engine.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

i figure we dont exactly have to beat the piss outta it at the line with a 1/2 mile

nice street tire launches and let our tq monsters rip apart the topend

 

[Yaj Yak]

yup


i trapped 113-114 iirc on 13ish psi with that sheetmetal manifold i was runing before

i think i could be closer to 115-117 now and with that I'd like to do 135ish in the half.

I mean this dude in a modded srt-6 did 135 in the half and traps 111 in the quarter...

so maybe 140 is within reach pending my roof doesn't fly off and I dont get any "danger to manifold" warnings.
here is a link from that one even i found with the results (pdf download)

kevin wants to run using his 10 year old bald cracked 17's

make sure you bring your camera's folks, tg and i will pay 1$ for footage from every angle to edit a vid that hk gets to watch 24/7 while in the hospital

 

[Yaj Yak]

what kind of speed ratings do drag radials have?

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

higher than a buick can go

 

[The Broken Regal]

I think the 1/2 will be good for my car in that I will be struggling for aero vs something like a vette... Anything beyond a 1/2 and im sure it wouldnt go so well

I wanna do it, its only 1 or 2 times, for the lulz and to show off my amazing BMEP to the exotic/sports cars

I have a sidebet with panda, so either way its good fun.

 

[Yaj Yak]

and what is said bet

 

[smug]

In for breaking something.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

at what speed a buick takes flight?

 

[The Broken Regal]

Based on numbers that ive seen on searching what like z06s do in the 1/2 and other cars made for high speed runs, id be happy if the car did 150, and I think its entirely possible consider I gained almost 30mph from the 1/8 to the 1/4 on the back half, so in another full 1/4 and based on a bunch of factors against it... We yea, we'll see

 

[Yaj Yak]

speed rating on drag radials is v for nittos for mine... 149 mph. im solid. i wont touch 140 from what i have seen... i think i should be good

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

we haz more tq than z06

[Yaj Yak]

For HK's car, you guys should really consider running race gas as opposed to E85. You're going to run out of fuel and kaboom something with that long of a run. That is something everyone should consider that run E85. Just putting that out there.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i like your ideas.

thats why i don't run e85. yet.

and quite frankly, id probably be okay cuz im such a lil boost monster.

 

[1quick]

Fuel cell and a real pump is on the list for This winter also

Werd, you should run like 100 octane just to be safe. There's a lot of load at those speeds.

 

[Yaj Yak]

fo sho. and a lot of heat/time of wot running.
