I wouldn't take a hit in traction, I'd just not pile all the power on until the top end.

Really, the 60' is *everything* in drag racing. Don't give it up.

From what I gather the track he races at is subpar at best. An event that actually has a well prepared track Im sure the car would lay down low 10's right out of the box.

Pomona raceway was the shit back in the day everyone would cut 3 tenths off their times due to track conditions vs other sea level tracks IN california that are now shopping malls.

In my view the car has the ability to run a very low 10/high 9 with more seat time/well prep track.

Hickmans old yellow 9 sec car was all 1/8 mile since the car only had 450-475 whp. 1.4 60 foots sure make a difference.

Solid 60's make life easier. Again, you are fighting air resistance at high mph and that means you need to make power. Good 60's means you need a drive train strong enough to take that launch. You need power or drive train no matter how you figure it. With boost, power is typically cheaper.

Still looking for a Dirt cheap wet kit.

I think that just for top end will get him there.

The car has LOTS more left in the 60.

I just need more time to experiment.

IMO @ this same track the car has a 10.3x in it. For sure. Even at the same boost. I get the car to go 1.5x in the 60 and its golden for 10.3x

Im looking to get 2-3 more psi out of it real soon.

Ill let you all know how it goes.

I only have a vid of my last 10.9 run. Its not worth posting. It was the worst run Ive ever made.

I owe my boss a lot since he gave me a great job when I really needed it.

This is not a 10.5" Outlaw with 1000+ whp that it can't bring to bear until after the 1/8th, sir. If Joe gave me his car, I'd rather have .2 off my 60' than another 100 whp.

I just noticed your on 23" slicks. That is impressive indeed. :yes:

Whats dirt cheap? I have one that I'm not using. Nitrous Express 10lb bottle, Fuel & Nitrous solenoids, bottle brackets, lines, 35-55-75 shot jets. I'll throw in the Edelbrock purge solenoid too ;D Pm me and let me know whats up.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #45 on:** August 16, 2009, 03:59:20 PM »

Goforth has a few Zex boxes, probably free, the lines/bottles all went to something else. FYI

AJxr · « **Reply #46 on:** August 16, 2009, 05:44:36 PM »

im assuming when you retune it will be on straight race gas, and what... 28-30psi?

It IS a wet kit. It was going on my 2g awd dsm but I popped the hg and am parting it out in favor of a CB7 Coupe. Seriously whats cheap for a used wet kit with 99% of the shit to put it in?

ApexSilver06MR · « **Reply #50 on:** August 17, 2009, 10:39:05 PM »

i offered joe a dirty cheap wet kit a while ago

i ended up selling it to joey for like 200 shipped.

Pootie · « **Reply #51 on:** August 17, 2009, 11:48:58 PM »

lol@bigwig...

I think Joe just wants to have fun with his car. 9's would just be a plus!!

But i will say this tho. That car has A LOTTTTT more left in it. And you have to take in consideration that at a better prepped track it will go .10 faster on teh same power/set up.

Other factors to consider is that he is on a 23" tire . But trust me when i say the car HOOOOKS!!, he is still on a POS manual boost controller ( when more power gets put into the car and a better controller or boost by gear will help manage the power). And also SEAT TIME , he might go weeks b4 even touching the car ( i bet if he had 2 back to back days getting the car dialed in it will go much faster).

Time will tell

Right now he is THEE quickest on Vitaras and 2nd overall . (top 10 list)
Street Cars
1. Humble - 10.07@142 mph
