Re: Let's hear your engines!

Here's one I've never posted that has pretty good sound, and YES I'm shifting in the burnout box.

Re: SoCal (Inland Empire?!)

... when I think of wanting to cruise, first thing that pops into my mind is Berdoo too.... In the early 70's I spent most my Fri and Sat nights cruising Magnolia ave in Riverside, but a few times we put a few extra dollars in the tank and drove the 10 miles to San Bernardino. E Street was the spot...

It's a RUSH I can't discribe, 2+ G's for about the first 30 feet, and very ADDICTING :D

Re: Finally did it, went 9.79et ! Video & pic

Dude, your car and yourself are serious badasses. Love what you're doing with it and that you are willing to explain it to us, and that you admit the mistakes (which are a given anyways) and explain how you solved them. People think it's so simple to just drag a quarter mile, but to do it that fast...

Re: Finally did it, went 9.79et ! Video & pic

It's hard to find good free help (camera man) these days. Yes the track was in part some of the problem when I crashed. so did you just give it to much gas off the line and it spun out? how much rpms are you supposed to be launching at anyway? cause i know you cant just bounce it off the rev limiter...

Re: Finally did it, went 9.79et ! Video & pic

keep updating :wink: Ok update, some good some bad, lets do bad first. In Jan 09 before I even made a pass broke 5th gear dog ring in the burn out box, my falt. Next in March after fixing the trans and a clutch rebuild (was adjusted to tight) new smaller tires and few other issues, I crashed it. Cr...

Yes, it's a clutchless shifted, dog ring/face plate box, with an inline shifter. Just pull, push, pull, push :twisted: .

Re: Finally did it, went 9.79et ! Video & pic (Update 9.40et)

Thanks guys, Ya, I'm going to bracket race a stick. Right now I need a little more seat time, I'm a bit slow on the tree :oops: and still tuning the car doesn't help. My trans is bilt for it, I should only be using the clutch to leave. When I remember to shift without the clutch it's very consistanc...

Re: Finally did it, went 9.79et ! Video & pic

Thanks guys.
But it's like an addiction, now I want 9.50's, and I'm thinking with a lil spray it will go high 8's.

I just added a methenol injection kit to cool my intake air charge. Now I can add a lil more boost.
Hoping to make a trip to the track in Oct.

Finally did it, went 9.79et ! Video & pic

It took three long years of suspension, clutch, gear changes and tuning, then I finally did it. :wink: Best pass was 9.79 @ 133.7 mph w/ a 1.380 60 foot. On the 4th of July, a 100+ degree day here in SoCal, I was making passes for my NHRA competition license at AAA Dragway Fontana Ca. A competition ...
