nice pic paul - TWOOGLE must have so much more potential considering that your suspension isnt even setup.

what did it end up making awkw? im sure its somewhere in this thread but reading thru almost 30pages seems painful

Thanks Rob. Did a 1.38 the run before and blew the turbo outlet pipe off changing from 1st to 2nd...still ran 9.8

Mate it went 6.0 @ 114 to 1/2 track. What do you think it is capable of at that boost/power level?

Looking back I did 1.39 in the drag-r at 1740kg on ET streets so Meremere's not toooo bad off the line I suppose, its the rest of the roller coaster ride and the bumps and lack of top end grip thats the problem, Reece runs 3-4 10th quicker in Aussie easy, he told me I'd be shocked how much power you can use from 1/2 track compared with here.

On the aborted 9.7 run in the drag-r I had 5.something @ 117mph at 1/2 track and that car has gone on to run 9.4 @ 155mph on a pretty average air frield runway so you'd have to be talking 9.40-9.50 with 6.0 @ 114???

9.4 ??? on low boost?

9.4 on 29psi

turned it up 3 psi and blew the tyres off it (smoked all four right through 1st and part through 2nd) but still ran 9.7. Tyre pressures were a little high and the suspension needs tweaking before we can run more power. Its scary to think we have around 6-7 psi up our sleeve which equates to around 130hp at the tyres. Ive discussed a custom rear cradle with a supplier today with adjustable pick-up points which may be handy.

the 60' times on 29psi ranged from 1.39 all the way down to 1.36. Lots of fun :blink:

10/10 for the sig Paul your a talented boy arent you. I agree with Marko a little bit of smoke would ne nice. Or how about have 2 or 3 different sequences one staging the R doing a massive burnout etc etc you know what i mean.

Congrats Paul on another PB. I am sure that you will soon see the magic 8 pass :blink:

Mark ran 9.38 with the same set-up (turbo kit and box) with 100whp more using the clutch to shift gears. Changed to flatshifting and went to 9.0...so at least 1/10th saved on each shift as well as the added momentum gained with the increase in MPH.

The maths looks to be in my favour for a high 8...but theory doesn't always carry into practice easily.

Paul was good to meet you and was impressed when i saw you run the 9.4, pitty you broke out. did you manage to grab the next gear after all.

yes...was its pass with the car shifting properly, went into 4th like a hot knife into butter. I dont press anything other than the accelerator pedal when going through the traps...this back off when in front or pressing the brakes before the traps shits me. I should have given myself a little more headroom with the dial-in...i first decided to dial 9.47 a 1/10th quicker than my PB which was 9.57...but changed to 9.50. So it wouldn't have mattered either way. Next event ill have more of an idea and be able to bracket race it a bit better. Smashed him at the tree with a 0.02 reaction and the race was over at 1/2 track...he should have bought me a beer for letting him win.

    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
