Awesome accomplishment guys! I still have my 4 door DSM that I hope to have some what fast one day hopefully with Boostin Performance Help

 

Ive weighed it at 2 different tracks, both were done in the last 2 weeks.

Greatlakes Dragway = 2350 lbs
Byron Dragway = 2400 lbs

So its somewhere around there, what does your 1G auto car weigh in at?

Devin

 

Little Auto (Luke's car that runs 10.00) weighs 2340 w/o driver
Big Auto (Jeff's 8.35 car) weighs around 2180 w/o driver

Its gone up a little over the last few months between wheels and tires, aero, and some other changes we made in the car. Not sure if we can get anymore back out of it for next year though.

Congrats Devin!! That ET/MPH are truly impressive, the car looks like it's leaving really clean out of the hole. I look forward to seeing your beast claw deeper into the 8's

 

It looks like that final drive change helped out every part of the run. It seems like the car hooks a little better, gear changes aren't so close together, allowing you a little more time to reposition for the next one, then you're at a better spot in the RPM range at the end. very cool.
Also, beautiful pair of runs. not that anybody expects anything less from you

 

Thats flying.. serious back 1/2 Mph!!! I think you ran more 8s than anyone back to back last shootout.. Congrats!!!

 

I don't normally comment. But that car is an animal! Very impressive!

P.S. pardon my ignorance, but does the track go downhill? Looks sloped in the 2nd vid.

Good luck on going faster!

 

Wow congrats that some serious Mph. Any reason on switching diffs? Have you been breaking them? Congrats again.

 

It looks sloped in videos because the braking zone is a big uphill. It's actually flat.

 

That car is a beast! great driving and sweet setup! looks like a sleeper in the pic just the FF turbo gives it away!

 

Thanks everyone!

I have broken the spider gears for the LSD unit inside the stock rear diff. I had some custom shims made at a local machine shop to keep the spider gears a little tighter. Since then I havent broken anything else. Its a matter of time before the ring and pinion give away, the 3000 gt rear has a bigger and stonger ring and pinion.

just wanted to add my congrats on one hell of a year for the Boostin performance crew, what you did this year from moving to a new shop and getting it up and running as fast as you did and to reach your goals wit h the RED DEMON , all while the shop was pumping out 8 and 9 sec cars is MF-DOPE!! if their was an award for shop owner-driver-builder-tuner-tech-crew chief, and all around good guy, you my man are hands down the the winner in all classes i think all thats left to do this year is to go to Disney World next years shootout----------- i can't wait , auto cars look out

ps, can u say 8.3@ 173.0
and i want more vids pls, since i could'nt be there

 

where do you get your E98 from?

congrats!

 

As much as it looks like it and as much as we all like to joke about it, Byron is indeed perfectly flat. I even found GPS data somewhere on the internet to prove it. It's actually the nuclear fallout in the air from the nearby power station that makes the cars go fast there.

 

I've got some in car footage, so as soon as I get some time it will be up.


Thanks Mark, your kind words are very much appreciated, but I dont know about all that, LOL. Im not putting any money in the car this winter, so keeping up with those auto guys is going to be hard.

We got it from a dealer in WI, he doesnt sell it anymore. Hopfully we can get some fresh stuff for next year.

LOL!
