I wonder what the best 60 anyone has gotten off idle is.
Nubbs Member 39 Member For: 16y 23d Gender: Male Posted 22/03/12 10:26 AM Author Posted 22/03/12 10:26 AM went back to the plex last night, first run I managed to do a 12.1 @ 122 mph with 2.17 60 foot. that was still launching off idle. so I figured I would get it to run an 11, so I tried a few agressive launches, stalling it up a bit, but it did not like it at all. for some reason it felt really laggy when I stall it up a bit. felt very odd. both times I tried to stall it up a bit, it only went 12.5, but the 60 footer was in the 2.0 range. didnt make much sense to me 1

Nubbs Member 39 Member For: 16y 23d Gender: Male Posted 24/03/12 03:44 AM Author Posted 24/03/12 03:44 AM What was the mph difference?the first run when I did the 12.1, it was 122mph, the 2 runs when I tried an agressive stall up, both were 117mphIf you dont mind me asking. How much did that cooler, piping and over boost valve setup cost? Looks very very appealing to me if I remember rightly, its around 3 grand. including the re-tune fee. 1
Nubbs Member 39 Member For: 16y 23d Gender: Male Posted 22/04/12 09:45 AM Author Posted 22/04/12 09:45 AM (edited) As I said before I was weighing my options for a new engine...and got hit with a stroke of luck. A cousin of mine decided to sell his engine that he had built a while back, as he has a baby on the way. So I bought it. It was built to handle 1000hp, so its definately good for what I want it for. It came with a GT42R turbo, that im not sure if I will use or not - thinking of selling it and going for a Precision turbo instead. Also already has 6 boost manifold. only thing it doesnt already have is a strong head gasket, it still has the stock one. But I have a Cometic headgasket on the way already.cant wait to get it in an running. pics below Edited 22/04/12 09:47 AM by Nubbs 3
