- Last year my car ran a best of 11.76 @ 114.8 in good DA. I didnt have the UMI Relocation Brackets yet, and was still running on a stock torque arm. This year I added those along with a line loc. Ive only made it to the track once this year, but the car has ran a best of 11.89 @ 113.9 in horrible DA. My 60ft has improved so I expect a high 11.6x-low 11.7x in good DA this year.

- Last year Kurt's car was almost completely stock down to the 2.73 gears. I believe his best run was around 13.5 @ 106. Over the course of the last few months he has made the car what it is now, and within a few more weeks his build should be complete enough to have this grudge match.









Before the race he wants to upgrade to an LS6 Intake, and a stock ported throttle body or 90mm tb, and he still needs tuned. Before the race I want to add an underdrive pulley. I left my dyno #'s out, because he hasnt dynoed his car yet, and frankly drag racing isnt all about dyno #'s.

 

The first one to the finish line is gona win

 

I say its going to be a draw.

 

then that means its going to come down to light time. i know hes fucked then.lol

 

It all really depends on what your car puts down. If you put down close to Bob, when you'll be close. It'll be down to light time at that point.

 

If you ain't first, you're last

 

Its not always about whp #'s Mitch. Its how the whole car/combo is set up. A lot of people get hung up on if a car has XXX amount of whp it should run XX.XX @ XXX. If the car isnt set up properly it can lose to a car that has 10-50 less whp.


Im sure if I added whp #'s to this thread we would get more responses, but I want people to base their opinion on the mods and complete setups. Neither of these cars are or ever will be dyno queens.

 

Haha. I know man. I'm just saying. Whp doesn't mean ****. I havent seen his car run yet, so I can't say. But if Id have to take a guess, you'd win. I'll say if you run like 11.9 hell be about 12.1. Just my .02

 

Raceweights of the cars? If he's stock weight, gut your car the night before the race, don't say anything, and keep the windows up

 

We are both full interior street cars. I take my rear seats out on race day so my bigs and littles fit easier.

On a side note Kurt is supposed to be dynoing/tuning his car very soon. I'm curious to how the outcome is going to come out. I have ordered my UD Pulley..just waiting for it to come in now.

 

TAFTMFW!!!...but Im a bit partial

 

You have E3 plugs, you will win with ease from their 50hp

 

^^ well now i know.? and hes light enough the kid weighs 150 pounds

 

Hahaha what do you expect from a short **** like me? Im built lightweight for drag racing!

 

Shittttt. Is that crank hp or whp?


Maybe Ill add some stickers before the race to add 50hp to my car..

 

i aint gonna lie im kinda disappointed in them plugs. only good thing is the gap cant blow out on them lol

 

Must be why my car is still in the 16's





^^ reminds me of this

Only reason I mentioned the raceweight thing is because if you guys get out evenly its gonna be a crapshoot, seems to be pretty even. If there was a slight edge I'd give that to you only because Yank converters generally hit hard, but he's got a higher stall speed to his shift extensions should be shorter --but an off brand converter I know nothing about.

 

Id say our weight is about the same. I might have a SLIGHT edge, but nothing big.

On a side note I'm still waiting on my ud pulley. The crank bolt is on back order unfortunately. :-( Should be shipping out to me by the end of the week tho.

 

Since you are both running UMI items...

Winner gets a free UMI T-shirt, UMI windshield banner (if they want it) and a $25.00 Visa gift card I will send you.

Good luck guys! Let me know who wins
