3800 1/4 mile times & dyno numbers discussion thread

[10sec]

WhippledRiv 12.65 @114.x 2.xx 60 dry humping the track iirc
i can only find a pic of the first track runs slips that shows 12.75 at 106.5
i know i dont have pics of all the slips so ill get it next time im over at his place

IS4, 3" Whipple, IC

Damn, the riv trapped 114? get him off his ass this year

Fwiw the 'norm' for a stock gtp is high 14's to low 15's. Some have ran better but they are mostly freaks or gutted/tuned cars.

he wont
he wants the riv as a daily driver but all he does is sit on his ass playing video games and drinking

Good point, probably not. I'm more interested in a dependable dd

lol so you do care...otherwise you would have said "i couldn't care less"
ya think we'd run the riv as it is at the dyno or track before you rip it apart?

ST1r

i dont remember my best time... and i dont know where the slip is.

 

[Yaj Yak]

thanks 10sec. hahahha.

 

[Yaj Yak]

gah i really think my 18s were prolly hurting me. fucking 60lbs at each corner

 

[10sec]

Yea... that and your trans. Put something on your TQ stars and run it. I base what my red car can do off your car, and 11's for both of us is not out of the question. You have a better trans though.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i wish i had a set of tq stars.. .i have special edition wheels that arent much lighter... i prolly have some set of something around here that i could do tho- i barely have a better trans... its just a stock rebuild sans an input shaft..

 

[10sec]

I wouldn't hesitate to slap my slicks on the red car with 14-15psi and shoot for 11's if i had an i/s. The chain will hold for a pass or two, it's the i/s i'm scared of breaking. Doesn't matter, i'm saving up right now so the first track day i'm going to give the red car hell, if it breaks it breaks. 11's or bust. Car weighed 3755lbs with me in it last time i went to GLD. had the 17's on it, which rival your 18's in weight. They're about 50lbs a piece with tires mounted on them. Got the new turbo on it now We really have to race, mod for mod we're exactly the same, except you have a cutout. I hate you for that.

 

[Yaj Yak]

yeah i need a better ttune

im nervous bout my converter/chain... it has a lot of miles on em... and a lot of turbo miles on em.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i got new shtuff when the rebuild happened... just not better stuff... but that was at like 110k? 120k? i dunno.

 

[10sec]

bah, you're fine, stock stuff is good for high 11's sorta , except the i/s, which you've already gotten replaced. The chain is a little iffy, but all you need to upgrade is that. Phatride does them. He's done his like 3-4 times and he did mine already. He's also going to do the red car when it's time. Dudes a monster.
