Just done some update.Congrats to NIevo for 10.6,that nice!!He is the fastest for trap speed too,good job.

 

Congrats to Emery for running 10's on stock block.All the 10's guy,do you have a log that show the time of 60-125MPH/60-130MPH?

 

Just raced my 500whp IX for the first time last weekend... I got one question... HOW IN THE **** DO ANY OF YOU GUYS GET TRACTION WITH STREET TIRES???
Im on rt-615 with 18psi in the tires and cant get it too hook up for ****... this is on a pretty decent track. i mean i was smoking the tires all the way to 4th gear and just let out of it... i twas pointless.

 

What clutch are you using?

 

cusco twin disk

 

Are you sure its not your clutch slipping, cause spinning through 4th is pretty hard to belive. I dont even know of a RWD car with 424lbs of tq. that can spin the rear tires into 4th.

 

nope.. clutch only has 2k on it... the track was a little cold and it had sprinkled all day long... they dryed the track but im sure that had something to do with it... but im serious i cant get this thing to hook for anything. I always pulled consisten 1.6 60-footers with my stock clutch and turbo.

 

Same with me... I spin 1st and 2nd... You are not alone I have started to play with the 2-step a little and dropping it down... My tires are usually at about 15-18psi at the track...

 

yeah i put mine at arbout 20 and dropped the twostep to 5300... i spun hard all the way into 3rd and pulled a 12.23 with a 2.8 yes a 2.8 60footer at like 124mph

 

well i was sitting still bouncing between 5-7k trying to get it to hook.... after 5k there is no torque its all 537whp trying to grab.

 

hp is just a calculation based on tw. with a 35R all your torque SHOULD be between 5-7k.

 

My torque curve was actually dropping off after about 4.5k

 

I love this thread. Bump

 

Can you post your dyno graph, I gotta see a 35r falling off after 4.5k.

 

that is just crazy... i would have never thought 500+ was possible stock block
