Default So I got bored and youtube inspired me...

I was watching various cars doing acceleration vids of the speedo, so I decided why the hell not. Let me know what you guys think, if it looks right for the amount of power I'm putting down. I didn't go WOT until like 5k in 1st because the roads was pretty slick since it just rained a bit. Ran out of road REAL quick haha.

I guess I need more mods, it feels really slow to me. Or I need a slow *** car for a DD. I can't wait to build my next motor, only 6 months away...

What gears do you have in that 3.73's? My car makes similar power to yours and I just uploaded a video I had on my computer. I am at 2000' elevation but still if you wanted to compare also I had the cutout closed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2GC7TteQDY

Yeah I have 3.73's. Seems like yours was a lot quicker to 100 or so, I didn't have room for a full run since I had to go out in the boonies to avoid "detection". I also didn't launch like you did though, so maybe about the same. I wanted to but it was slick as hell (fresh rain+hot road).

I have a set of 243 heads on mine that I had milled to 62cc's for 11:1 compression. I also did the valve job on them but the porting is stock. My cam is similar to yours but its a custom BRE 224. How do you like the 3.73's? My setup is daily driver street torque setup so I dont think I want to go with 4:10s. I think 3.90's would be great though. What mph and time do you run in the 1/4?

Never ran this car at the track yet, I haven't had time to get there. I got the axle with 3.73's already in there for $100 so thats what I use for now. You seemed to spin a lot too, I don't spin unless I do a 5k clutch dump.

Wow that thing hauls *** from 0-60. Has your speedo been re-calibrated for the 3.73s?

Yes, GPS verified. I need to actually launch the old girl and see how fast I can get there. I'm terrified of doing it though, sticky tires+fantastic monster clutch+stock 10 bolt = boom.
