***LMR Ready for TX mile-Dyno #'s inside***
Honestly there isn't a reliable T56 on the market for our cars. I don't care if you buy the 6500 G-force T56 it isn't going to hold up. Unless you switched to something like a face-plated tranny it doesn't stand a chance in that car.
As for the trans, I'm sure they can lower the psi for normal driving and have the trans last for a little while, then turn the boost up to 'kill' for events like this.
Seriously, on the street, who needs more than 1000 hp for 'normal' driving?

Such a sick build, the setup is artwork too. Nice job guys.
UGR's Nera makes 1980whp. Underground still owns the street scene.
You realize that with more power, the faster it revs the motor, the shorter the pull right? Wheels don't really have much affect when it's on that kind of power level.

How in the world does it make an 1809 hp 3- 4 sec dyno pull on 18 or 20 inch radials? Im not saying bs, by any means......this is a serious question.
No people on the back, no straps even visible ? The back of the car isnt even down any? Did you guys fab a way to ratchet or turnbuckle down the housing straight down?
I hope all goes safe and fast at the mile. Thats dangerous stuff.

Its monday night and we are back in houston. Thanks to everyone wishing us luck this past weeknd. We had a horrible start to a somewhat good weekend. First pass down the track was just a test run on 8psi to make sure everything was good 215mph. Next run we turned her up a little and had a terrible incedent, both tires blew before the mile and the chute was completely deployed crossing the finsish line at 213. The chute kept the car straight until it finally came to a stop at the turn where it spun.
The 18in wheels were completely destroyed from running on the concreted since the tires were gone. We spent all day saturday trying to find another wheel that would fit, but because of the custom offset we had no luck.
Sunday came and just for the hell of it decided to throw on the 20in wheels we have for the car which are just for car shows and crusies. We didnt even plan on really trying to run the car hard because there was no way a 20in Pirelli was going to stand a chance against 1800rwhp but we wanted to make a run in the car to make the customer happy.
First pass on the 20in wheels, car made 2lbs of boost in 1st and 2nd gear, then we had the boost controller set on 10lbs in 3rd and 4th. The car looked so slow making the run and BAM, the scoreboards lit up 222mph. We were all laughing so hard we decided to turn it up to 15lbs in 3rd and 4th gear and try her once more. Again, the car looked like it was on a sunday cruise until she got into 3rd, then 4th, then BAM 239mph on the scoreboard, we could hardly believe our eyes!
After that pass the track was getting ready to close so we didnt get a chance to try and turn her up anymore. Looks like we are going to have to wait until the next event to try and break the 250.1mph record currently held by a lambo.
I think with a little bit better tire, and just 25lbs of boost, this car is going to FLY!!

So, what is the tire nobody should ever try to run at the mile? LOL.
Seriously, glad there were no serious incidents and LMR's first Tx mile went fairly well. Now, it is time to get serious for the next event. I saw the UGR Lambos at the Poopra meet and they are freaking weaksauce, Not one of them bitches would launch from a dig. You guys NEED to hand them their asses!!!
