And hopefully the race between the lt1 and the truck will happen one day......

I told you guys that US41 was a GOOD track! How fast did starfire run? What kind of trap speed did the RX7 get (I saw 11.1 ET)??

I was running in the No time lanes. I was having suspension issues.

Had fun met some decent people and the car didnt get hurt.

SDB, 131.95mph was my best trap.

Luke gave me a few tips but there's only so much you can do with stock suspension.
I'd like to work on a better hole shot, but the IRS is limiting me.
I'm seriously considering going solid this winter, especially after gettin worked by Chris...as usual..lol

Why not go 8.8 IRS rear? Samberg cradle, T-Bird cast iron housing, 28 spline trac lock diff, with Cobra guts, DSS axles and drive shaft and you're bullet proof. Bolts in and is in the mid $1000 range

As for suspension, can't beat Tein s-techs and Tokico 5 ways

11.1 at 132 mph without traction should be 10.6-.1075 at 130-132 with some traction! Bet it pulls good on the highway. Franke might have his hands full....well until he gets his nittos and LCA...lol

I have a few friends with the same power and bone stock suspension like me and they're running exactly what SDB is calling...10.6-10.7s all day.
The difference is the dork behind the wheel.

Maybe I'll wait and see how the Cobra IRS treats you Nick.
If you can get some decent short times, I'll go that route.
I'd really hate to lose cornering ability..although I don't know how much of a difference it will be.

SDB,

I know you're just trying to **** me off. I highly doubt Terry would have come over and helped me fix the oil leak on it, if he wasn't worth his word. Terry is a good guy, and I highly doubt he would have sold me the car if he knew it was broke.

I'll admit, something is wrong with it...did Terry know it? Highly doubt it.

Hey Drew, I 100% guarantee your daily is faster than my daily. If that makes you feel any better...

And Tony, you're making as much power as Zinx? Damn, son.

edit: And yes, I agree, Terry wouldn't purposely screw anybody over, he's a good guy.

You bought that car???? The white regal????? My buddy is the mechanic that put the junkyard motor in there!!!!!! there was a horrible rod knock in it, he got a junkyard motor from Economy Motors, my buddy threw it in. Ran fine, just not nearly as fast as it used to be! Terry never told you this????????????????????

man...that sucks! Does it still have the bolt on mods to it?

It has a junkyard motor in it, 90k miles. Drew knew that when he bought it.

The first replacement block Terry put in ate a rod (the original ate a piston as the tune was FUCKED), the second block has been fine minus an oil leak that is fixed.

The tune is neutered right now to keep the motor alive on the 3.2 pulley. It needs a 3.3-3.4 pulley some sorting and a solid tune. It ran a lot faster before because it was trying to chew itself up, which it eventually succeeded in doing.

Just the opinion of a guy who kept a 350 wheel HP L67 alive with 17 psi off an Eaton for 160k miles...

That car actually had a replacement motor in it?? I was just kidding! lol...that sucks...Did Drew know it was replaced? Why not put on a different pulley if that will fix everything?

If you read the top of my post:

"It has a junkyard motor in it, 90k miles. Drew knew that when he bought it."



It's actually better the motor has been replaced, the stocker had 130k+ miles on it, the new one is sub 100k, so at least it's a little more fresh.

It needs the pulley, probably a look taken at the heads, the blower and the manifolds, then a lot of tune work. I haven't had time to deal with it, so for now, it gets the timing pulled back to stop the detonation it was seeing and keep the motor healthy.

It literally bolts in????

Do we use any part of the rear subframe and PPF?

Yessir, bolts in.



It uses every thing but the rx7 diff, inner stub shafts, and axles over again. And it's just as good, if not better than, the rx7 diff for the twisties.
