Ok heres my question. Im running a test pipe now. If i buy this Will this replace my test pipe or will i have to weld. Is this electronic Like open/ closed? Does this need to be tuned? Or would this just be the same thing as dropping the exhaust when you take it to the track type deal?

 

im pretty sure it was 89. ill have to check. i couldn't get any descent 60' times at that track, so all of my stuff could have been a little better.

 

would not really need a tune, and you will weld this into your test pipe, so you test pipe will need a section cut out of it to weld this in. Basically the same as unbolting your exhaust behind the downpipe, accept a whole lot easier.

no, not electronic. i don't like those as they have a high fail rate. its just 3 nut and boom, its off. don't even have to jack up the car if you have a long extension.

 

if you trapped 89 through the 1/8 and 117 through the 1/4 what makes you think that i wont hit 116 when ive already got a 2.x mph advantage over you through the 1/8 mile.

keep in mind that a slower 60 foot usually leads to a faster trap speed.

I can say that i gained 4 mph through the 1/4 by removing my exhaust fromthe DP back. However, that was when i still had a cat. I REALLY REALLY find it hard to believe that you gained 20 whp just from a cutout. If you do, that will be the best bang for the buck mod that anyone could buy.

 

well, i hope to have dyno results soon. but i have seen it on several DSMs.

and you will have a SUPER fast trap for your power if you trap 116. i don't think its possible. and z06 that weighs 2900lbs and has 360whp only traps 116-117 with a really good driver.

Yes, you had a nice 1.8th mile trap, but that doesn't always translate into super high 1/4 mile traps. Just go run it and prove me wrong i guess. You would have a higher trap than everyone else with your power by like 4mph

 

I think a Z06 is not the best example for comparison. It has much longer gears, and can't 60' nearly as well on street tires. Also, the 405whp Z06 makes only ~320 on a DD. KTR has dynoed several.

IMO, Dylan's car is a bit faster than yours. Better 60', better trap at 660', and better 660' ET. All that on 300whp.

 

Ill just say this, id REALLY have to screw up on the back half cause last time i ran the 1/4 i gained 24 mph with at least 30 WHP less than i have now. In fact, i gained 24 mph on the back half on pump gas. 85 through the 1/8 and 109 through the 1/4. Even if i didnt perform as well as i did on that pass, id AT LEAST trap 112.

 

well, i ran 85 through the 1/8 and 109 through the 1/4 with 290whp on andrews dyno. how much power you have when you ran those traps? exact same as my 93octane map and 290whp

 

when i trapped that i was at 260 ish WHP.

 

his car isn't faster, he may be. 60' time doesn't play a very big part in trap speeds, power and weight do with a bit having to do with shift points and how well you shift. and 320whp on a DD is a lot more than 300 and the car is 400lbs lighter

 

So basically, you suck at drag racing.
John, Cooter, and I all trapped 107-109mph with only 245-248whp on Andrew's dyno and you needed 290whp to do it? Sorry, but that's four of us that are disproving your numbers and we've all drag raced quite a bit in our lives.

 

400 lbs lighter? Not in this world.

2003 Z06 curb weight: 3130lbs.
2003 Evolution curb weight: 3263lbs.

 

Why all the hate Noize. Also how do u quantify what he would of run in the 8th when he had to shift at the 8th in his 1/4 mile run. if I ran the 8th I would hit the rev limiter in third as I cross the line and thus run a faster 8th at a higher speed. It is hard to compare a car that is shifting and losing a lil speed at the 8th next to one that does not shift and finishes the 8th w/o having to make that shift that slows u down. Ur argument is not apples to apples IMO. And I can tell u this I always ran a better 1/8 than Smoggy ET/MPH but he was 1-2 MPH faster on his 1320 trapspeed. Explain this !

 

When i went from a 1/4 mile track to an 1/8 mile track my times were within .04 seconds of eachother.

That 3-4 shift isnt going to lose you very much time.

What was your 60 foot, and what was smog's? Maybe he's a slower shifter than you, and since there's only one shift on the back half he may have made up the ground that he lost while you were outshifting him on the front half.

 

yeah, i guess. you trap those times with a full weighted car? i have been racing cars in a lot of different ways for a while, there is no way you can shift so much faster than me to make up that kind of speed difference, i shift as fast as humanly possible without powershifting and ****ing up my transmission.

again, go shift on the dragstrip like you shift everyday, i guarentee there won't be a huge differnce in your trap speeds. keeping everything else the same, just shifting a little slower.

for someone that was calling dragracing a redneck sport, you sure do know a lot about it.
