Nice work as always. Was this on the new tune? How much did you end up making? What track?

ApexSilver06MR · « **Reply #5 on:** August 10, 2009, 02:02:48 PM »

I really neeed to take a flight to the east coast and go for a rip in this one.

Congrats again man. Glad to see people still going to the track. california races are fuckin dead these days the sport has really died out here.

Dictionary definition excellence, sir, and nothing less.

Dr. D-Series · « **Reply #10 on:** August 10, 2009, 07:59:33 PM »

Thanks guys. Im surprised the car went any better with shitty conditions (on off rain/heat/humidity).

Car has not been retuned. Only things ive changed since last tune are TB spacer, lsd, and an inline fuel pump.

And now the car is on straight 116. Seems to like the octane even without retuning.

its rumored you hate e-town, which i can agree on.... but are you running this sat at honda day?

Dr. D-Series · « **Reply #13 on:** August 10, 2009, 09:30:41 PM »

The rumor is correct.

I do WANT to go, but Ive got work on saturday unless something happens.

As far as a retune. Hopefully very soon.

Good stuff man. Makes me wish I turned the boost up in my single cam when I had it.

What if you blew off work to make people on the internet happy?

Whats the fastest people have ran on these pistons? Its refreshing to see a car actually putting the power to the track for once.

.453 is pretty far off from 9's. Typically you are looking at an increase of 50-100hp to get that half a second. 9's vs 10s in these FWD cars is a pretty big step.

There is a good amount more power to be made on his setup, just wait and see!

bigwig · « **Reply #27 on:** August 12, 2009, 11:00:04 PM »

Sadly D-series are D-series. They make 400-450whp fairly easily now. 500whp+ is the issue. Small bore, poor flowing head, not great cams, ect ect ect keep the engines from getting in that 500whp/9second world. It can be done and he could do it. My point is 10.5 vs 9.99 is a big difference and going for a 9 second pass will require a good bit of more power and a good amount of luck.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #28 on:** August 12, 2009, 11:37:10 PM »

If he launches harder he could run a 10.3 or so, but I agree a 9 would take 50-60 more whp and good driving.

bigwig · « **Reply #29 on:** August 12, 2009, 11:45:24 PM »

I don't want people to take my comments as being negative. His car is kick ass and is doing it while spending half what most other people do to get the same results. I'm just trying to set some realistic expectations that most people don't get. 9s vs 10s is mph and mph=overcoming air resistance. The easiest way to do that is make more power. Making more power = breaking more shit. I'd say his drive train is due to explode. The other thing he can do is making 600whp and spin his tires off the line. His times for his weight/power will be garbage, but his drive train will survive. Sadly, his engine won't make 600whp for more than a few passes. So he's stuck either blowing the engine or blowing his drive train to pieces. If he feels like getting technical and anal, he should work on aerodynamics. It's a thankless modification in a lot of ways because you end up spending a lot for a little, but your car tends to survive a lot longer because you really do reduce a lot of the stress on the car.

If the goal is a 9 second pass, tune for 500-525whp and get smaller slicks than you need. Hopefully with the 100hp and slightly worse traction you can make a few passes without exploding.
