RIPSNZ Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Had a good day at the drags yesterday. We entered the Pro Street division for cars in full street trim on street tyres, with full exhaust, mufflers, full interior etc. We qualified No1 with a 9.2 and went on to win the event running consistant 9.1s. This was done without NOS and much lower boost than we have been testing on the dyno with. The reason for this was we wanted to test our 60ft setup and we found we smoked the tyres real bad untill we dropped the boost and power right back. We had some nice wheelstand action for about 50 meters and it was almost carrying the wheels in top gear as well. All in all a good day, won the Pro Street division and found some good gains in the 60fts (low 1.4s measured off the rear wheels) Even made it onto the TV news!! lol. Here's a couple of links: TV3 > Video - Browse All > National Video > Thousands converge on Meremere for automotive extravaganza We'll change the suspension a little, adjust the wheelie bars and once we get the front to stay lower we'll start winding some boost back into it and getting hard on it with the NOS, I'm loving the fact we have soooo much more power just waiting to be used, can't wait.

RIPSNZ Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 1.40 on the rear wheels. We've had a bit closer look at the footage and it looks like we are carrying the wheels about 180 feet comming down then picking them up again. Data log shows: 0-100kph 1.95 sec 0-200kph 6.8 sec 0-245kph 9.1 sec Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
