I have the timeslip but everytime I take pictures of it you can hardly see it. I didn't want to post my time until I get a clean pass but it look like it's not going to happen since the heat index is 107degree today :(

Post it up as I have never scene anyone get there best pass and be happy with it. It always one thing or another. Shit, look at your 135mph pass, you said you were granny shifting it... My best pass so far I had to let off in 4th and expected a shitty slip but ended up being the best of the day. Were another one of my clean passes was .4 slower...LOL...

This was test and tune night. We will be meeting Darren this fall in Tulsa and Kansas City at the IFO.

Yeah I let off cause the car was not going straight :D I thought it was a low 11's pass but it end up my fastest of the day. The other 2 passes was slower but the mph is around 134mph. I need to get the 2 step working launching at 6500 rpm is getting inconsistant. Also I don't know the weight of the car but it is more heavier than stock. I got the 8.8 rearend with ladder bar.

The cousin's honda that runs 10.22 at KCIR but couldn't cut a 10 second at this track.

[Bryan@BNR]

congrats on the car doing well. That trap speed is a good one indeed! What rear end gearing do you have in the 8.8? How in the hell did you get 11.5 ET streets on that car? lol. My FB looks all bowed up in the back with 10.5's. Looks like its ready to fight :D.

I got 4.56 gear and I'll get some pictures. I lifted 1" higher since I was afraid the tires will scrap the inner fender.

[jamespond24]

Holy!! Sorry didn't know pictures was this big? I'm really sorry:(

[sk8world]

Speaking of HOT... I can hardly drive to work with out over heating in this 98 degree shit. Not sure what the heat index is but this shit sucks.....

BTW I also have some 11.5's going on the car. Also going to try a 4.44 gear!

[sk8world]

Those tires fit well! I would be a bit scared with the fuel lines so close to the exhaust housing. I bet that fual is warmed up a few degrees!

[Bryan@BNR]

It looks like the rear end is narrowed and a slight minitub....

That borg spool up nice?

[jamespond24]

[estevan62274]

Very nice! would love to see some video!

[Bryan@BNR]

Tell us some details about your runs... How much boost were your running and what RPM was your 2 step set up at?

[jamespond24]

Tell us some details about your runs... What did darren run with the full blown race car in the street class?


He ran 9.8 in the final. My 7 was even with him after 3rd but miss shifting twice to 4th didn't help :D If he didn't miss 4th I think the car would be in the 9.8-9.7 at around 139mph. I never thought the car be running 9's we were just trying to fine the car and it almost beat a full blown drag car :D

[jamespond24]

Tell us some details about your runs... How much boost were your running and what RPM was your 2 step set up at?


The 9.97 was done on 33psi with a granny shifting to 4th gear. The 2 step is set at 7500 which I think build around 11psi. The last run that ran the 6.28 in the 1/8 mile was on 36psi.

[jamespond24]

Also to mention that the car was sitting outside for 3 month and when we tried to start the motor one apex was stuck in the front rotor. The plugs was fill with rust so there was alot of moisture inside the motor. We manage to pop it out by reving the crap out of it :D

[Bryan@BNR]

Awesome. What fuel are you running? Rear struts and springs?

[jamespond24]

Q16 fuel
Ladderbar w/ cheap shock & springs

[sk8world]

very nice! 9's is moving on!

[Bryan@BNR]

Mike I can't wait for the rule change next year. Next year, you must have all glass, full exhaust and a few other things to make sure its true street class. Only draw back is payout is so much less that the class is less desirable for the cheaters... But its not about money in my eyes.

No more guns in the sword fight!

[sk8world]

That will be nice but I think I read a few other rules I didnt like. If I recall something about tires and fuel? I may be wrong.. I hope to have 2 cars running for next year! One will own the DSM! Nothing like a 1700lb, auto-transbrake-HUGE stall-600+rotary!

[Bryan@BNR]

Haha. I would like to see that happen Mike. You must really enjoy spending lots of money! Let me know when you need a whopper turbo!

[sk8world]

Not even close Bryan! This is going to be a budget drag car. I am doing 98% of everything! Minus 4 link and a few more bars for cage, tranny set up. So I am done with the $$ spending on the FD until the motor goes.

[jamespond24]

There's a few runs on my FB.

Your guy was driving the crap out of that car lol. He didn't even think of lifting off the gas!

[jamespond24]

He's use to driving a clutchless tranny :D Well I did my best at a local track going 10.16 at 138mph and the last 2 run was crappy cause I let off when the car was head to the center and the rail.

Well the FB ran 9.5x @ 151mph on lowering the boost. He's going to be at OKC for the IFO. Hey Darren Eclipse is back and he runs 9.2x so everybody needs to bring their A game. :D
