Some video from our NHRA license test passes today. More to come soon! (including that elusive 8 second ET)

Darren Testing At Thunder Valley 2/19/12 - YouTube

 

Nice, what kind/size wheels are those?

They get awfully close on the launch.

 

The wheels are Weld Draglites 15x8. The tires are Hoosier 26x8.5x15 full slicks. They come closer than we liked so we are raising the car a little before the next race.

 

very nice!

some info on the motor / transmission?

 

very nice!!

 

wow...talk about slingshot off the line lol

 

Thanks, the motor is a half filled stock block, stock crank, Aluminum rods/pistons, Stock unported head with Huge cams and supporting valvetrain. Turbo is a GT4202 non-ball bearing. With this setup on 35psi it will make right around 670whp. We have made as much as 800whp @ ~45psi before but have never been down the track with that power. The trans is a mostly stock 2G Auto. It has factory replacement clutches and a few springs that Jon @ IPT suggested we use in the valve body. It also runs full line pressure all the time and we shift it with a ratchet shifter.


Those are bad 60' times actually. We are wanting to be in the 1.3x's at least. Thanks though!

 

Wow 1G Autos make it look so easy.

 

The autos are hella fun and even more consistant.

OP. love that car.

 

Wow. That's soo sick. I want an auto 1g now lol

 

Thanks everyone. If the weather holds in Houston this weekend we will have more video from the IFO event there. Come say hello if you will be down there!

 

That's just nasty fast!!! Awesome runs!!

 

Looks great, almost effortless.

 

Wow that's fast.
