I broke there homemade .650" lift springs - me and a couple dozen other guys around the nation had there springs fail on us. Who the hell makes there own valvesprings nowadays??? Way too much tech and expertise involved in making valvesprings to be concocting your own actual springs IMO. I wouldn't have bought them if I had known.
or 
... dunno.

1st race 520WHP CB7 accord VS supercharged Cobra (Tune/Exhaust etc)
2nd Race My **** box at 600-620 Wheel that night VS 600 + M3 (Dig race)... It was getting bad fast for him at the long end. I spun off the hit that run pretty good and had to come around. It got bad for the M3 up top
Clean hit and not having to pedal it through 2 and beginning of 3 and it would have been bus LENGTHS...

Pullied, Cai, Exhaust, Tune. I think he was in the 460hp range.
Here's a vid of him and my 02 WS6.

That was a really fun summer... ALOT of good late night fun...
My car (on low boost and pump 520/395 ish TQ) vs the first Accord that raced the cobra (On the 525-550 WHP but with 440 TQ due to racegas tune) = ME winning by a car or two every time... Just on gearing and the tranny alone. My car was heavier, but it hooked alot better, and the short gearset did WORK. On paper he should have beat me but never did.
I did run James on pump a couple times, it was always bad for the stang. He needs to build something fun again... I have high hopes for this summer.
I remember Bakers reaction the first time he tried to come around me in his Z06 and I saw him coming, we were doing like 60ish on 167 on the way to the sea spot (I had no Idea at the time it was him, just heard the car dump a gear and start coming for the flyby). I watched the rearview and waited till he was like 1-2 cars behind me..... dumped 2 gears and put the pedal to the wood...**** on the vette... HE was like SRSLY??? LOL What the ****... In true fashion I lied and told him I was running of the WGs... But I think I was on 1 Bar that night so RIghtttt around 500 (A tad below Think it makes 495 at a bar) Definately not the 17-18 its usually at on pump though... IIRC I dint have the laptop with me and had the Solenoid settings all fucked up for one reason or another....
Bigger tires, (G60s this time, fenders streched out JUST A TAD to make it work and no spacers behind the wheels and you cant tell from how it looked before.
Front ends apart making sure all the ball joints and tie rods are good... FWD cars take ALOT of abuse on them and LCA bushings in cars that make power. Will be welding some **** to do away with flex on the LCAs and a couple other little things.
New gearset, final HTe G60s and alot of c16 this year....

See my above post (you may have missed it as it was posted right before yours). Not trying to talk **** as it's a badass build, just trying to get details. A stock GSXR 1000 with a good rider (I stress "good rider", which is a rarity) will be trapping only a few mph off of what you do and they're losing steam at that point compared to how hard they pull in their lower gears. So I'm just trying to gauge the ability of these riders here as it sounds like it should be a pretty good race from 40-160 if the rider knows how to kill it. I'm also trying to figure out how you hookup at 40mph well enough to even think about catching a liter bike before 160. 750+ to the FRONT wheels makes it hard to believe.
Regardless, very nice car and build.
Now I wanna see some video and results from all the Sticks-related **** talking and banter!

This thread is awesome and Keith is absolutely right about SG's Honda.
I remember that night when the Honda shocked baker, good times. I think I was riding with Tim cuz my car is too slow for Seattle.
