Perfect !!!!!!
My car weight is 3160 lbs with fuel and me in it. I'm sure that has some to do with why my car isn't sticking compared to a heavier class car.

What gave you the impression that I'm trying to do 7s?
I'm waiting for the cookie. Make it peanut butter.
Man, you are way behind the curve. Feb. 2010? Where have you been? If you want to catch up, check out the link I posted just a few posts back for Otto.
When you bolted on A 1500+HP turbo !!!!!!!!
Oh thats right you chose that turbo cause it was the perfect turbo for future upgrading. So here you are running 8.70s holding back and your future plan is to STROKE IT and better heads, Were you going to do all this to run low 8s...........
Feb. 2010. That's the best you can do?
What did you put on to add the 160lbs ?
If you want to really know how I came up with the new weight, you will go to the link I posted for Otto and read the part of the thread where I finally scaled the car. I even listed the corner weights so that you can add them together if you want to double check my work. Let me know if I did it right, or not.
Man, if your going to act like your keeping up with my project, you need to do a better job of it. You are totally failing.
That thread is pretty dry. How exciting can chassis work be. Enjoy. :biggrin:
Well...... we are "FOOLS after all
Perfect !!!!!!!
Ok MAD SCIENTIST, you are truly mad to run your combo... especially with NOS
. If anyone can exactly figure this out, it will be Donnie. Your out of the box thinking has gotten you in the 8's. This same out of the box thinking will get you in the 7's. I personally look forward to your post. If you can ever get that 1/2 shift issue fixed youe can get that et even lower. From Alabama, "run Donnie run"!

I agree Chuck. I can also say the track Donnie races at is not up to snuff, even my car, which runs 11.0 in the 1/4 and 6.8 in the 1/8 on just 18psi has lost traction into to the run multiple times. I can't even begain to tell you guys how bad Donnies car is during his runs. I grit my teeth everytime I see him run. Honestly, I can see bottom 8's once his suspenion and what not is sorted out on a good track. BTW - I have learned a great deal from everyone here that have posted in this thread! Keep it coming, as everyones experiences and know how counts. "run Donnie run"!...

I don't believe you did.
If you answer yes then it means your heads are not a restriction. If you answer no then it throws out the argument that you can make more power with more stroke. Either answer will go against what your claiming in this thread.
To fill the extra cylinder volume to make more power requires more air in the cylinder. If your head is holding you back as you claim then you can't gain power. Extra stroke can only make more power when it can get the air required to do so.

Don. I do applaud your work in getting the turbo to spool on alcohol with the nitrous system. I know that was a major headache and most would have given up a long time ago.
On this subject I also agree with dusty.
