114 turbo or 106?

Sr71BJjr-

You my friend are a total douch canoe! When you finally get your car done and you want to race people, make sure you show up on a radial and we'll show up on slicks since there is no difference in your mind! Is a 114 turbo comparable to a 106 now?? or how about c16 to pump gas? Maybe a 3000lb car to a 3400lb car?? Should i keep going?

My god how dumb are you?? You have obviously never ran a fast car on a set of drag radials. Ask anyone that has run drag radials with over 1500hp and how it works and how touchy they are. Yeah, once you get your **** dialed in you can be cutting some great 60's. BUT IT DOESN'T happen overnight.

I've had conversations about this with madman, josh, ohio boys. THE GUYS WHO have run radials. YOU being the almighty internet guy that you are ... Just try to think a little before you post stupid ****

oh yeah.. and for the record.... SLICKS DO NOT EQUEL DRAG RADIALS!! There is a reason guys with slicks cant run in the drag radial class!


AWESOME!!

Sr71BJjr - Try that, it may help with your thick skull.



Congrats Stephen, you have in fact set the bar for the T/A suspended LSX communty. I look forward to the challenge of resetting the bar. btw, is the car you are driving 25.5 or 25.2? I am assuming it is 25.2 and you are under 3200lbs.? Details pleeeeease!

Yes that was at the supra meet. We won the race against titan with a letting out 8.08. The titan car threw everything they had at it and it stood up pretty good. They are a good group of guys over there.

Actually the car is only 25.5 and it weighs in at 3300 lbs. We really need to get the chassis up dated and get some weight out but we have to much fun actually racing.

So technically it is not legal for the weight or ET from either 25.5 or 25.2. I am going to be in the same boat unless the track officials choose to look the other way and other racers do not protest. Any way you slice it we are bound to 7.50 as the SFI rules are written and the 3400lb weight requirements for most of these classes.

He ran 7.60 which is slower than the 7.50 cert and he weighs less than the 3600lbs max of a 25.5 cert...whats the problem

I am talking more in the future as I have not run faster than 7.50 yet either but (not if) when it happens we will basically become a 7.5 index racers.

25.5 is only good to 7.50
25.2 cannot exceed 3200lbs. (most all stock susp classes are at 3300-3400 for turbo cars so 25.2 cert is no good)

I thought I heard on YB.com that NHRA was working on a combination for possibly a 6.50 or 7.00 cert for 3600lbs?

Dayyyyyyyummmmm congrats guys.

Slicks, DR's... hrmmm. Steve/Josh/LMR guys like to get out every weekend if they can, from the sounds of things they are mostly hittin' events that run slicks, nothing wrong with that right that's their own prerogative. The GM race isn't until October anyway.

Can you guys post a whole slip for us slow pokes to view?

When did i say there was no differance ?? you should go back and read the post before you let your typing fingers get the best of you..As far as me being the "almighty internet guy" I've been a member since 2004 with only 600 post. Only time i post is to sell something and hype races..
This is all in good fun here..Hell you act like i just fucked your sister or something? I mean did you really get that bent out of shape over the DR vs slick post that i quoted from your boy?It is a fact that alot of the S.S. cars can go just as fast with the new M.T. DR as they can with a TT5.More effort maybe but it can be dun. Wolfe went 4.70's on both ,and if i'm not mistaken he held the S.S. record for 2 years...Please tell me again how dumb i am???

BTW: LMR went faster on a 91.5 than you guys did with your 106mm so compare that genius

Double cert does nothing for me. Everywhere we race turbo cars are 3200+. Almost everywhere I can think is 3300/3400.

All I can say is that two of my suspension kits DOMINATED the Supra event. Six Speeds won and LMR won.


Congrats guys keep up the good work.

**** Brian your being modest. Your suspension kits are dominating stock suspension racing period. Give me a call at the shop when you get a chance.
