Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Dyno and Drag First time at the track with S/C

a true testament to what a sc can do on our 2.5L . . .
you have a smaller pulley as well, right? So, you're getting about 270fwhp with like 10lbs boost? That's damn awesome at your elevation. . .

Anyone see his time at the 1/8th? Normally that would be about a 14.3 or so. That car must be hauling some SERIOUS tailpipe past half-track. Keep it up man.

Yup once that bad boy's got some solid traction that Sh*t is moving along. I'd really like to see a 104+mph pass though

That 60ft time seems rather low for that kind of power. What suspension and tires are you riding on? And do you have motor mount inserts?

probably the st200 struts alone are costing him about a tenth, probably more. Po-Jay you should consider investing in some Koni adjustables it'll allow you to keep the weight from transfering to the rear with that much more power and get more of the power to the ground where it belongs. I don't know what kind of traction issues you have, 'I only can Imagine,' but even on our low maintained bad traction track here in Hawaii, I've been able to pull off, I think it was 2 2.3 60ft. times.

Problem with a frontwheel drive car is it has to make up alot at midway track and to the line since it's tendency is prone to spinning tires, our platform dont help one bit too. If you haven't already, try gutting your whole back half of the car, that alone could help a bit, but that combined with a set of Koni's should do some wonders. I think with the power you're making you should have no problem running a 13.5 or better with slicks on a good track in optimum conditions and a trap speed of 104+.

will you be the first, as far as i know, recorded 103+trap speed in the 1/4mile

I didn't know that 103 was the record?

1st gear popped out on me on the line so I stuffed it into second. I could have done a 13 easy. On the next run my clutch finally said good bye so I'll have to wait to go back. BTW that was on stock clutch, stock diff, stock struts, and stock springs. I have potential.

Nice. I'm impressed with the catch-up speed on that thing!

Get that clutch fixed and put a quaife in and you'll be smoking those vortech cars I think. Pojay, see ya pretty soon with my turbo'd 3L
