That truck is very impressive. Never would've thought it put down that much power though. Nice

 

haha,i get along just fine.my coupe's been turbo for over six years.i'm pretty good at using the available traction.i don't care how good a driver you are,you can't create traction.a relatively narrow DOT tire on our FWD cars will not hook anything like the much wider tires you can fit under a RWD vehicle that already has a traction advantage anyway thanks to simple physics.
my car has a good shock/spring setup,traction bars,an LSD and Azenis.i can keep it from spinning wildly,but i'm using very little of the power available.from a 15,20,30,whatever roll up to about 50MPH it will either spin or you peddle it enough that you're not really going anywhere.a Honda with 200WHP will have traction problems thru the top of 2nd gear.i'm not saying that you're not making power,or anything of the sort.at 1Bar i'm sure you're making a good bit more power than me!
this argument is going nowhere fast.our cars are limited in that area,and there's not a lot you can do about it,regardless.you put a stock LS turbo setup in a light enough car on slicks and it will certainly go fast-i don't dispute that either.those cars are few and far between.none are going to have full power accessories,full interior,etc....i'm pretty sure the guy in this truck can throw his slicks in the bed,and drive to the track with the A/C and radio on,run a low 11 and drive home.maybe slick to slick you have somthing for him.on street tires(even your Azenis),at anything but a high roll,he's got you.he will be able to put much more power to the ground than you,period.
i'm not saying that any of what you're telling me is impossible.i know people that have ran extremely fast times with various setups that shouldn't be that fast.i don't doubt that people are making HUGE power on totally stock internal engines(i ran 12psi on my stock C1 for about four years with only an MF-II for fuel),but there is a bit of luck involved in those engines staying together,period.

haha, i was giving you a hard time and thats what the smilie was for. Although with him running street tires and myself running street tires, i believe it would be a close race. Im just basing this off of cars i have raced and what they ran at the track. But its pointless anyway because the race will not happen. Oh and i dont have LSD or traction bars.

 

Thanks! I've never been one to care much for dyno #'s, what matters to me are the #'s at the track. But fwiw, I haven't had a clean run at the track since I put down those #'s at the dyno. Altho, ya gotta keep in mind that I'm pushing 4270lbs down the track in street trim, takes a lot of power to make something that heavy go fast

 

Slicks, skinnies, jack, tools, cooler, chair, pop-up canopy, and still have some room left That's one of the things I love about the truck, it's like a sports car with a really big trunk LOL

 

haha,that's what i fit in my car(minus the skinnies)to go to the track.granted,both seats are slid all the way forward and the ass end is squating the whole way,but i make it.
hopefully in the next year or so i'll buy a tow vehicle.

You going to test n tune any time soon? Id love to check the truck out in person.

 

I'm up in Philly for the next two weeks for work, but I'll probably try out Shelor on Oct 6th.

 

Those are some impressive traps on stock honda motors. Just curious if that was on race gas?

And keep us updated with the new track times bad360rt!

 

Ugh I work nights Fri-Sun so thats out for me. If you ever go to test n tune during the week at bristol, rockingham, or anywhere else that does T&T during the week gimme a holler...Id like to check out your set up/bench race (Im a closet mopar fan ).

BTW, you ever had any trouble getting booted off the track at low 11s? I dunno if youre running a bar or not but getting booted is why I hit test n tune sessions since tech is usually a little more laid back compared to regular race days .
