Thumbs up another +1 for circle D

Chris built me a 4500 stall for use with my glide. I wanted it to be great on the street as well and it does every bit of that.

at the track on motor, the car didnt bog or spin and got a 1.55 60', being a glide that to me is a great time. That was leaving off the footbrake around 3500 or so.

here is the video, also that is a STREET honda the first pass. Good friend of mine. It just went 9.8's as well.

I cant wait to spray this thing and really have fun in the 9's

Thanks Chris!

I like how you can see the tree bulb's reflection in the side of the car. I saw someone else on here recently that has one your sweet radiator overflow bottles.

awesome times for a small camed glide setup. usually takes a lot of power to move a glide car that quick. good luck on 9s on the bottle. shouldnt be too hard IMO.

how do you like the 2 speed over the 3 speed on teh street?

Hoping to get my 3C in soon.

I'm sure I should have taken the 4C but I would rather go up for a restall than down.

Which Chris offers 1 for free.

It's the weight. His car is super light.

love it. my 17'' drag radials are finally going out the door. Im going to try out the hoosier 295/65's like colin has on his car here. Im on a 28'' tire and with the way the car feels on it, im sure I can get away with the 30'' and not bog. Plus the big reason will be for on the street...the glide and the 30'' will be hard to beat.

going from my fmrvb 400 to this is great. The 400 takes a lot of know how to drive it with what to do and what not to. Like slow down in second and then get on it being a huge no no. Now I dont have to worrie about any of that and its even eaiser to drive.

also with the 400 at the track the times were NEVER the same. First time out at the track with the glide and each pass was withing thousandths of each other.

yes, but you really cant compare the two times without a control. That control being DA

the 10.98 was -1000 DA
and the 11.04 was 1500 DA

what that means is the 10.98 really was about a 11.1-11.2 run
and the 11.04 was a 10.8-10.9 run

I dont understand why more people dont use DA as a control for comparing times
