What broke?

Nothing broke. Now that i got data on the converter, sending it back to them to get tightened up. Also going to change the gear in the rear end, fix my fueling pressure issue. Also need to get a chute mount, and chute installed this winter.

Going to be getting the vfn 5 inch lift off hood, and make the front bumper easily removable with some dzus fasteners.


Im sure there is more stuff that will be done.

I dont drive it on the street, or in traffic at all for that matter. It is a b&m Deep pan, with a big trans cooler, and a 10" electric fan that moves alot of cfm. I dont remember how much exactly. I read normal temps for these trans is 175-200 ish... I dont know where you want to be, but on the brake for a little bit, and making a pass it barely will get over 150, and then comes back down to around 150. Defiantly cools very well @ idle, so i would think stop and go would be good, i just am unsure about higher speeds for a longer period of time, but i will never have to worry about that with this car.


Thanks, Chris

how much power at 10 psi? are you still running the Precision GT42-76 ?

Sideways240sx

iTrader: (22)

Yes, I still have the Precision Gt42-76 with a 1.12 ar. Car is currently @ 9 psi, and was @ 9 psi in that pass. It made 576 whp @ 9 psi through a th400, and 9 inch. which is a pretty good number considering drivetrain loss. I will eventually get the car setup for 14+ psi, and hope to make in the 700's. I had a issue with fuel pressure falling off. If you go back through the posts in this thread there is a dyno vid.

We did a little photo shoot infront of my house, cause Sean "broke ef" got a 50d, what better to take pictures of then a car. There will be more to come in the future, but here are a couple.




I threw a photoshop hdr filter on this photo. Kinda looks cool.

how do the strange brakes feel compared to stock? would u feel save driving on the street with them

Sideways240sx

iTrader: (22)

I am also on the strange manual master. Its not bad. From 80 mph you know the car will stop no problem. From 130+ i think the stock brakes felt better, but that could just be me getting used to the manual master.

I have been told that in stop and go they would heat soak and warp easier then the stock brakes would, but i will never drive my car in any type of traffic. Overall i love them, and love the weight saved!

Its dropped 1/2 inch in rear. More in the front, and its a pain to get on the trailer now, thats why we had the bumper off.

Thanks!

Car looks great Chris! I have the same exact wheels for my car with the narrowed rear. Something about that photo-shopped picture does look really cool, almost a 3d sort of feel.

Oh cool. Sounded like you had to take the motor apart.

The Strange brakes fade fast and the pads dont last long. Not the best for extensive street use from our experience with them.
