there is no competition that i am aware of between Chris and I. Hell I hope he runs faster than me. His turbos and mine are pretty close in max flow and we have very close combos so which ever car is faster at the time (with around the same boost) is almost a benchmark for the other. I have run at the track,
(dialed in) he has not. Chris has dynod and I have not. Now we both got numbers to shoot for to know that we are "in the ballpark". I will dyno sooner or later. I figure to be in the 650rwhp range at 10psi and 700rwhp @ 11.5psi (locked converter)
I will be anxious to see what the heat does to our MPH on sunday at steele. Glad you got the tires Chris. Footbraking will prolly have you in the high 1.6 to 1.7 range depending on the converter and how hard the turbos come on. I figure thats gonna give you another .3-.4 in et plus whatever you lost from the 60'-330' mark with traction. Of course thats all on the same boost you ran on before. Those 325 DRs are the ticket!! I have got some used ones to try out but will use the 275/60/15 for steele i think. They are slick now and about ready to be tossed but still got a few good runs left in them at steele.
Matt you love da dollahs and dat racin!! You need to go to Eatonton and make dat paper! When are you going to get "phat girl" to do a shoot with your car?

Let me make this clear. I was not talking about Jerry talking smack. I was talking about 8thmile!!!!I was refering to jerry not to listen to 8thmile.Jerry's car is setup for the track and mine is still lowered and on stock suspension with the front sway bar on.Jerry's car is bad *** and I know this. He has set the bench mark for me to reach.Matt,save your money, put it in the vette and come to the track and get it!

LOL..Matts been called out
Chris dont give up the front sway unless you just want to. It didnt help my front end rise any more at the track and it drives better with the front sway bar though mine is not currently on. I dunno if it will fit right with the OFI kit.....with the OFI history so far...who knows.

This thread wasn't made for anyone to get all hot and bothered.. So people don't take it that way.. Chris and I were just talking the other day on the way back from summit about how his car should run on the big and littles. We figured it'd pick up a few .10's and the 60ft should get better. With the boost turned up we hope it'll turn some really good numbers at the track.. And Jerry was brought up because his car is very fast and would make a good race. Nothing more than that... No hard feelings..

No offense taken. We are all here to help each other. I was gonna try to bust KPs ***....in post counts but that bastard must be on here 24/7...I cant catch him and he is pulling away..JUST like at the track.
Chris has a LOT left in et at his current boost level. That is exactly what I have done...kept the same boost level and tweaked. Steele may get me a 9 sec pass at 10-11.5psi since i figure to 60' better there than SDR. It will be HOT so dont hesitate to ask for more water in the water box with that stock rear. EVEN if you have to get out of the car to ask for it...it will evaporate quickly and they dont always stay on top of it.
8thmile, what choo got...me and Chris both will drag yo ***!!! (picturing a 5 sec 1/8 mile car)

LOL Thanks! I won't talk **** yet, cause the car isn't done.. But, I honestly havn't seen this conversion done yet so it might run like dog **** or it might run decent.. Who knows... I'll be happy with low 10's. We are setting it up to run the 1/4..

Kev when you are already fast as ****, you dont NEED to go faster to stay out of my reach. My ultimate goal is 9.2 but realistically I think i can hit a 9.3-4 in good air etc. You can do that going backwards so you win

8thmile, whatcha working on?

Chris, how much boost you gonna try to run Sunday? I think I may be sticking to my same ole since it will be so hot. I need to drive it home....

Yea well I'd like for it to go faster but I'm about done, the weather will dictate the ET now..

I'd like go up to Steele but the only dragstrip you will find me at on a 90+ degree day is in my living room playing IHRA sportsman drag racing on the PS2
