Video Posted of one of my 11.5 runs





Awesome race

 

Not sure why you would have a rev-limiter lower than stock with a good amount of boost and E85, but that would explain the trap. Again, nice driving and times. I'm sure we'll meet sometime soon as I'm a friend of Gilbert.

In the context of this thread (drag racing), unsprung weight has no difference from sprung weight. It does effect wheel control and thus has a big influence on how the car handles(because the suspension can react faster, etc), but that doesn't apply when you're talking about a flat and even surface as in drag. It can have a small effect during the launch, but his launching sure isn't hurting him.

I don't want to rub off as if I am starting an argument. looks like you "dialed-in" this one just right. Keep it up.

 

Reason Jeremy requested a 7606 (stock limiter) which is what's on the car, is because he felt unsafe revving the motor out on stock valvetrain with those FP4R cams, especially since its his daily driver that he DRIVES .

Secondly, I like the positive criticism; we have mutual friends and plan on someday shooting the **** with ya, but I disagree about sprung and unsprung weight being essentially the same when it comes to drag racing. As RPM/G forces/gear selection and gearing increase and change, they all play a positive role, think 2-piece driveshafts, lightweight rotors, losing rotational mass. Like I said, there's a general rule of thumb that losing unsprung weight is equal to sprung weight multiplied by five -clearly not considered the same.

In any case, thanks Jeremy sure does DRIVE his car and we'll continue to see what the car is capable of while retaining full OEM interior, stock motor, stock turbo, and daily driver status.


edit: shoot me a PM I'm curious what your setup is like. Found out you and Gilbert are good friends....

 

How's my turbo treatin' you? Good luck with the quest for 10's!

 

I can make my 6 speed sound like a automatic i shift so damn fast. It's from working out my back doing lateral pull backs at the gym son. I bent the crap out of my stock shifter. it looks like a banana.

 

She is treating me great

 

where in Indiana are you ?

 

im in Saint John IN

Northwest Indiana

 

nice job driving man

Good stuff..The good thing is excellent turbo weather is around the corner..I think you can pull a 10.9..3/10 of a second is a huge gap..but..with the way you drive from the clips..I think it's very ascertainable..

 

Im hopping to push it, but yes i know 3/10s is allot. But also if i drop my 60fts down like before it may be possilbe

Also very soon im going to be ordereing full coilovers to help my suspenion out

Im gonna try very hard to hit my goal

 

what was your weight? our goals are the same and i noticed you have a few parts on me...and e85. My best was 11.90 @115 (100 octane) on a hot 90 degree day weighing in at 3195 with me in the car. My biggest problem at the moment is my ACT.

 

Full weight SSL with driver and quarter tank of gas. Can guestimate it to be around 3450lbs.
