I want to buy 17x4 Weld RTS wheels polished. Please PM me any offers and I am willing to trade my stock front wheels if someone is interested. My fronts have plenty of tread on Hankook Ventus tires.
Last night I went to PBIR to race my GT500. You can see in my sig that I have almost 700 HP but my runs were awful. Since I got the new super charger I cannot seem to launch and I can't seem to get the same MPH that other people at my power level get. I have attached the two datalogs of my runs...
What are the options for brakes that will fit under 15x4 wheels. It seems like it might actually be cost effective because 17x4 wheels are so insanely expensive.
Has anyone who is running the tokico d-specs had any luck figuring out the right settings for the track? I have mine set to 6 turns from full tight in the front, and 4 turns from full tight in the back. The car hooks well off the line but then almost no matter how lightly I roll into the...
I'm going to be going to the track soon to do some datalogging on my current setup. Before I had my new blower I was doing 11.5 @ 126. My new best with the blower is only 11.2 @125. I have a sinking suspicion that temperature might be a factor.
When I datalog, what coolant temps, iat, and...
I finally set up the live link and x3 so that I can datalog with my laptop. Now my problem is that I have no idea what parameters to monitor. Is there something I can download that will check off all the most common items?
Does anyone have a copy of the LWU file for the most recent SCT X3 3000 firmware? My firmware is so old that I can't use the automatic update and the auto updater just says that it can't find a part number for my tuner. However, it will let me upload .lwu files that I have downloaded so if...
Right now my only cooling mod is the AFCO HE. With the '13 TVS, that is not cutting it anymore. My MPH at the track is absolutely awful even though my car put out good HP on the dyno. So now I want to spend my next mod money on cooling. So far I am considering an upgraded heat exchanger, bigger...
How often do you need to change this stuff? I have read things all over the board. I have only changed mine once due to the fact that it had to be emptied. How often do you guys change your transmision/diff fluid and does anyone know what Ford actually recommends?
I went from Eibach Springs to Cobra Jet springs. Now the rear of my car is a lot higher than it was before. I have relocation brackets in and my LCA's are in the top hole. How far off is the geometry going to be now? Unfortunately I can't easily remove the brackets (if I can remove them at all)...
I had a '13 TVS/elbow/cj tb put on my 2009 today. The car ran fine at first and made some dyno pulls without any issue. When I went to drive home the car had some major issues.
1. The RPM's would get stuck sometimes, almost like the throttle stayed open even when I let off the gas.
2. It...
I am upgrading my blower this January and I think I will have somewhere in the neighborhood of 650-670 HP. I like to go to track at least once a month during the racing season so now I am starting to think about safety equipment. The items that I am considering are the following:
5pt Roll Bar...
I have been trying to take the advice of some people on this message board for launching but it has not worked for me. The general gist of what I was trying to do is hold the RPM's at 2k and then let the clutch as quickly as possible while putting the pedal to the floor. I cannot find a way to...
I want to order the 2013 TVS kit but I have a feeling I'm going to end up eating a lot of extra cost in support mods.
My understanding is that I will need a BAP, bigger MAF housing, and possibly injectors.
Is there anything I am missing?
My power mods:
Dynatech 7/8"
C&L Intake
2.6 Pulley...
I went to the track tonight and had this run as my first run:
60' 1.787
330' 4.922
1/8th 7.493
MPH 98.43
1000' 9.681
ET 11.529
MPH 124.76
Density Altitude: 1700 ft
I completely expected that if I was able to get under 1.8 for 60' that I would be in the low 11's with those...
My three best runs of the night were all pretty similar
Run 1 (Fresh off the highway)
60' 2.003
1/8 7.752
1/4 11.769
MPH 122.43
Run 2
60' 1.939
1/8 7.651
1/4 11.674
MPH 122.86
Run 3
60' 1.952
1/8 7.657
1/4 11.656
MPH 123.11
I feel like I should be able to break the...
When I'm at the track and I do a burnout, I only end up with little tire bits on the left hand side of my car. I have friends in the stands who are telling me that both tires spinning. Is this a bad sign that my posi is blown or is that a normal thing to have happen?
I have been reading a lot of controversy online on this issue. Lately I have been rolling out of my burnouts because I feel like the tires are sticky when I do it that way. Does anyone have any thoughts on which of these methods is harder on the drivetrain? Is one better for traction?
My car is lowered on Eibach Prokits and I recently had Dynatech Headers installed. The car is pretty damn low and the exhaust pipes are even lower. The other day I drove over an angled bump in the road and I heard the exhaust hit the ground. Now I feel like there is a little hesitation in my...
I know there are plenty of you on here who have cars that run faster than 11.5. Does your local track make you comply with all the safety rules for running those times? If you have gotten a roll bar, was that the end of your car as a street car? Is it stupid to run at the track at sub 11.5 and...
I finally have gotten around to tuning my Evo suspension package. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the right settings for the dspecs. Right now I have them set to 5 turns looser than full tight. What is a good place to start for drag tuning?
So far I have the following:
C&L Intake
2.6 Pulley
SCT Tuner
Dynatech Longtubes
One Piece DS
AFCO HE
Shocks/Springs/Panhard/LCA/UCA
It feels like the next thing that makes sense is to go for a blower. I drive the car mostly on the street and hit the track 3-4 times a year. The thing is that...
