Re: LSX FD3S RX7

NSX and lotus are fun, but honestly in today's world of horsepower, they are just a bit lacking overall. The local lotus's are really sick while going around on-ramps after 6-8k was dumped into the suspension package, but the 4-5k in the motor still barely puts them in the mid 12's 1/4 mile wise. I ...

Re: Calling Mr. Northstar (Will)...

Yea, but you didn't do it ( Never said I did, and why would I? I have never had to tune a car that required this disabled, in every case I had I could put a 2000 file on. I have not had any 03 stuff come through, so I never played with that either. Its a matter of necessity for me, and if you think...

Re: Calling Mr. Northstar (Will)...

AJ HAS added a few tables to that VDF via the VDF editor, but it still remains manual transmission only to my knowledge. If I ever got around to doing a north* swap, I would most likely finally get a TC for this function (and quit having to unlock ls1's via HPT). I would still have to use my 3800 PC...

Re: LS4 w/ T76 as ultimate choice

Did a single T6 setup with my buddies built bigshot 358 SBC.. Spool was way better for traction on normal tires (boost comes up way slower than with twins due to inertia of the big heavy wheels), and was a faster car from a 60 roll due to the fact that it just made more power, with less flow accord...

Re: LS4 w/ T76 as ultimate choice

http://www.exvitermini.com Yeah, that guy would totally make more power with a single. Are you speaking from experience here, or just talking? Not seeing how a single would have better street manners than twins. Experience... Buddy with a terminator had decent T76 GTS and made 800 all the time... p...

Re: LS4 w/ T76 as ultimate choice

A S2 3800 in a datsun is in the 7s with a stock block, rods, pistons.

Twin turbos are pretty much gay in most cars.... Singles are going to make more power every time, and when you only have 1 turbo to spool, typically street manners is better.

my friends P71 ford meant you did the speed limit or less EVERYWHERE you went, no matter what. You get behind someone in a 25, they go 20. Then the random cop will pull you over for impersonating a cop... But, for every situation my friend has been pulled over randomly, he got away with some really ...

Re: My new ride- The baby-hauler.

I see that dog eyeing my rear again... I guess it liked what it had last time, lol.

That thing is pretty awesome... I would totally get one as well... What sort of price range do they typically go for?

Re: Finally Hit 11s...

Keep in mind my 4th gear only goes to 120mph and I don't rev the car over 6250. If I had a 135mph 4th gear, i would be trapping 135.
He had the same problem, he floated BADLY at 5500 rpms.

Mine is a stock HD converter and its too loose... stalls at 2100.

Its just the name of the game when it comes to these transmissions unless you go with a custom setup.

Re: Traction Vs. Boost

the 123mph turbo 3800 fiero in my crew here, doesnt launch on boost, and runs 1.85s. Wheel hop is basically eliminated down to 1.6 60's with drag radials... running a stock sized tire, but a drag radial is WAY safer than just about any other tire you can get. Anything but a compound tire will be bad...
