that looks like an 1/8th mile track.

 

[sdteb]

way to kick some butt, that poor viper didn't even had a chance..

nice runs, where you running the same boost as you did when they dyno'd at 460 rwhp? What was the #'s ran. When you dyno'd, was the converter locked, looks like it may have been, either way good job

 

[sdteb]

???

i ran about 20-21 psi on sunday....at the dyno about 24-psi really fat on the top end....convertor locked at dyno and on the 2nd and 3rd runs...
pump gas with one gallon of 110 mixed in....with alky on a race chip....

Watchin this kinda stuff just gets me AMPED!!

I can't wait to get the GN out after I get the 3" DP on and absolutely lay the smackdown on a PINK late 80's Civic that a guy owns accross the street from me.

The idiot gets out there and Revs the crap out of the thing for a fe wminutes and then just goes back in the house. I guess he just likes to listen to the fartcan and look at his 5" tach on the dash (with shift light of course)

 

[Firechicken]

you sure this is only 1/8th mile? 11sec at 114...doesn't make sense if only 1/8th mile...must be 1/4.

 

[B.B.]

The first one is 1/8th second is 1/4 Im sure

 

[sdteb]

yes

the first is at the 1/8th in nashville where i live the second one is at BG about an hour from me...

I just noticed you live in Nashville. If you are ever around Chattanooga, we could meet up at the local drag strip sometime, show them what turboBuicks are all about!!!

 

[Brer Rabbit]

The P A announcer has to go

Typical chick, shes announcing how nice and rare the viper is then it gets beat like a red headed stepchild by everything it raced. Who gave her the mic anyway.

I really enjoyed watching your videos and the way you spanked every car that came your way. I have an 86 Grand National which runs about the same as your car. My GN is 3800lbs with me in it and aso runs 114mph in the 1/4. I never tested my GN on a dyno but I always thought that with the weight of the car and the mph it runs it should have 450 HP at the motor. I know when you tried your car on the wheeldyno you were running 24 lbs of boost and that when you were racing your car at the track you were running 20-21 lbs of boost. Did you ever try your car at 20-21lbs of boost on the the wheeldyno to see the difference in HP gains at 24lbs of boost? Did you ever try your car at the track with the same set up you had on the dyno at 24 lbs of boost? I was really impressed with the HP and sick torgue you made at the wheels. I have never locked my torque convertor and was wondering if you could tell me how much you have gained in mph, ET, HP by locking your torque? In which gear do you lock the torque convertor? I would really apreciate if you could answer my questions and if you could tell me what is the set up of your car, here is the set up of my car.

Thanks
