sky30 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 wow, I wonder what that would equate to in the 1/4.............judging by the official, he obviously thinks a 10?!Did you drive it there or trailer it? about 10.4-10.5 sec 1/4mile @ about 134MPH. I took it on a trailer, i smashed a gearbox a couple of weeks ago, so didnt want to get stuck there.....

jet_r31 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) what sort of RWKW did you have to run the 10.6, and the 10.2? 10.6 don't know?? 390rwkw??, and the 10.2 around 440-50rwkw to run 141mph. it made 470rwkw , but unfortuntely had a boost leak, should trap 143mph with that in full street trim. It's easy 9 sec mph, I only hooked the transbrake up before i left and left the wires on the ground, i pulled them out with my feet accidently at the track so it didn't work, got it working again when i got home, so next time get to use that to get the boost up to 15psi to launch, instead of 7-8psi on the footbrake. specs: Rb30 sohc Garrett GT4245 - .91 A/R / 94mm exducer (Rated to 850hp) Roller bearing turbo Turbo smart 48mm external waste gate 6Boost (Kyle) custom exhaust manifold Screamer pipe Microtech LTx12 Bosch 6 coil set up Sard 700cc injectors ARC GTR 600mm x 300mm x 100mm intercooler Tomei Head Gasket ARP Head Stud Kit LukeVL 272 camshaft (220 @.50) Adjustable cam gear JD Plenum (On n/a runners) / XF Throttle Body Ported Head (MaceRace) stock rods cast precison pistons KEAS 1000 hp powerglide, transbrake, 3500rpm stall stock diff, 3.45 gears 26x8.5 et streets water injection 470rwkw on 26psi at 6500rpm...lazy motor/pump fuel ,water injection, fullboost at 4250rpm lasted for 3 yrs with the cast pistons ans stock rods and never any less than 23psi, and up to 26psi in the end on pump fuel, but alternator stopped charging and stopped pumps nuked only 1 cast piston...lol, still have 6 good rods and 5 good pistons,good bearings and rings! could have just slapped it back together with one piston But have a new motor finished now with cp forgies, h-beam rods, big valves, big solid camshaft [email protected]", roller rockers(just released), 90mm t/b , and short runner jpc plenum, billet borg warner 70mm comp wheel in turbo,comp raised from 7.4 to 8.4 so hopefully should rev and make power to 7800-8000rpm. want to run deep into the 9's at 145mph+ (trying for 150mph)in full street trim, so i am after 550rwkw on a pump fuel, be it 98 or e85 cheers darren Edited December 9, 2008 by jet_r31 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/130226-air-drags/page/10/#findComment-4307701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
