The times are from a dig

The time doesn't match the trap because I'm having to use serious power management to get it from a to b

The point is being able to stop on asphalt and run mid 9s with no burnout on tires that most think are junk

It's maybe 300hp off launch and 1200hp by 130

Zero traction control

It's basically pouring on massive power over time. Leaves soft and pulls like a bear. If he could lay all the power down as if on a well prepped track, the car would go mid to low 8s.

What are you thinking? Pick a pre-determined amount for the G-meter and anything below that you add power, anything above you remove it?

Biggest problem is, It wouldn't detect spinning. You could be accelerating your preset amount but with a major wheel spin.

this is seriously amazing. I need this for my local runway events.

<4 second 60-130 on the street with rwd on normal tires is absolutely insane. That has to be near UGR lambo territory, especially at a track with heated tires.


can you share any details on what equipment/tech you are using to measure G force vs. mph and also what ECU you are using to ramp boost vs. rpm vs gear like that?

Car starts to spin, Gs go down. Easily detectable. But if the car were spinning from the start, we'll now you have a different story.

He's on Holley HP EFI with its boost control. The Vbox does the other jazz i believe.

thanks. that makes sense with vbox. really impressive. I honestly did not realize a <4 second 60-130 was even possible on the street with rwd and a normal tire not heated up. that's probably 10 car lengths on a gsxr1000 60-130.
gnarly.

I think I'm gonna try the 325/50r15, my 295/55r15 eat streets are useless on the street. They just get all fuzzy and won't hook anything under 80mph. I never considered nittos but after seeing this I'll have to give it a shot.

I've got the 325/50's NT555's on my car and couldn't get a 1.8 60' at decently prepped track. We still need more details on your setup!

Wow very cool to see someone here familiar with with the vbox or 60-130 stuff!

I have been trying to get into the 3s in the street for 3 years now. And finally this year it all came together. And I can do it like a bracket car now

I had been stuck in the low 4s forever. 3s where my true unicorn in felt like honestly lol

Here are the increments from that 9.54 dig hit, 25psi out the back. Lifted at 1120ft at 161mph

I really want to get into the 2s 100-150 too, that will take 30psi




And a side note . Those Mickey Thompson radials suck for what I do

I started with those.

They literally last no time

They are way too soft.

They give excellent traction for about 2 hits on high power on sharp asphalt.... then go to marbles.... Because they get tore to **** all

And then you need to do a burnout to fix the tire

The nittos I am not bullshitting.... Never ever do a burnout, they are hard enough not to get tore up and hence the traction is always there and always the same

Honestly they will last a full year with me railing on them.... I have been through a set of Mickey etr in 2 weeks and that is no bullshit

I know what you're saying about the Mickey Thompsons tearing up really bad. Unbelievable how fast they wore out! Because of reading your posts over the years, I've switched to the Nitto for the street and they last a lot longer.

So not even a small burnout at the track to clean the tires off? I've been a 1.5 on a NT05R 315/35/17 and have a race this weekend where I'll be running the 315's.

This is exactly what I was just explaining to a buddy of mine and then I read this! I really don't like my et streets for the street. They are completely worthless, what size are you running?
