Turbo Meister Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Went to Test-N-Tune at Irwindale Dragway on 10-18-12 to check-out my rebuilt TH400 Trans that now has an Ultra Bell, bellhousing. The Torque Converter has also been tightened to 3200 RPM stall to reduce those pesky Wheelies. It still wants to spin the drag radials so the below clip shows the only run where I hooked up.....at great expense to my Mickey Thompsons.

DavyZ Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Nice run, Hanns! I think your car and the suspension will last longer with the new configuration. I can't imagine what the pounding of the wheelies do to the car, especially when done repeatedly. I see your time above, but how does it compare to your best run so far? Just curious as to how it compares to your best 1/8 mi run. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious as to how it compares to your best 1/8 mi run. Davy Davy I will have to reduce the power at launch...otherwise I won't hook up. The trans now responds faster and provides more initial power. My best 1/8 mile time was 5.82 at close to 124 mph. That's with the drag radials and mufflers.

jnjdragracing Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Great numbers, how much boost are you running? What size drag radials are you running and the air pressure? I have been thinking of trying a set of M/T drag radials on our car, looking at 275/60/15 or the 255/60/15.We have not posted any new videos in a while. We went to the track on 12/08/12 made three passes John should be getting the last pass up loaded soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Isn't it interesting that the best runs make the most boring videos (my videos included)?! You guys are gods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Meister Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Great numbers, how much boost are you running?

Zfan1 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I run the 255/60-15 Mickey Thompson Drag Radials and love them. Best time of 9.72 at 140 on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
