That sucks, I have a BMR adjustable one great piece to center the wheels and add performance but heavier than stock maybe one or two pounds well worth it thought! I would add the bmr third link and relocation brackets as well to it well add weight but it will cut your 60 foot times down as well plus the weight is over the rear and non rotational mass so just put a little less gas and you will be the same race weight.Well wont be headed up this weekend. Have more work to do then expected. I apparently smoked my factory torsen carrier. Making some nice clicking/grinding noises. So changing it out to a carbon clutched cobra posi and new bearings all the way around. Adding my BMR panhard bar to replace my junk aluminium one. Also adding a BMR differential upper bushing where the third link is. That should get rid of the remaining deflection in the rear end. Then cutting down the GT rear springs i have to the correct ride height and setting the proper geometry. Should work nice when all set and done. Just going to need a solid 26.5" slick now.
Wow and your 60 foot was 1.9 your rear must be toast then. When you get it done your ET should drop at least 4 tenthsI already have all that. Have the billet aluminium lowers... the adjustable upper.
your car runs fast where did you put your best time at? What was your 60 ft?I was there the day he ran at NED. The car is really nasty sounding! I've always thought Ferrari had the best sounding, high revving V8, but I've had to recant my position since hearing Evan's cars. Wow!
Guys, this car is making the power he says it is. I've got a lot of experience with the dyno he's been to, as well as the track. NED is about 2-3 MPH slow compared to other tracks. The prep is very, very inconsistent. The day we were there, they had a huge showing of X275 cars. If you ran right after them, the track was perfect. However, if you ran slightly before them, they'd spray VHT all over the place WITHOUT dragging it in. Every street car that tried launching in the wet VHT was robbed of a clean pass due to massive tire spin. But that's how this track is run- the street guys get no respect there at all.
For Evan to trap 122 mph here, tells me he'd trap 124-125 all day long elsewhere with the same DA.
Awesome car though-
I'm friends with Evan, I'm not saying anything bad. But NED is not a slow track. NED is an average track, and the prep has gotten MUCH better since they went NHRA.
To say NED is 2-3mph slower then other tracks is kind of a misleading statement. Maybe compared to downhill tracks but what does that matter? Not racing there much. There's plenty of other tracks he'd run 2-3mph slower. So I just don't see the argument there....
NED is 90' above sea level. I was getting 1.72-1.76 60' stock suspension with nt555R's on a street night (known for shit prep)
There's still a good amount left in his car. He might hate me for saying this, but just more seat time alone will help. There's a difference between shifting good and launching the car. A few tweaks and seat time he should have no problem hooking up.
He shouldn't be mad at all if he is your friend. Obviously Evans car flies and he can bang gears but launching a car is completely different. With more seat time and practice it will not only be a monster on the street like it is now but will do great at the track.
This is what I was getting at.
And Evan you should **** slap whoever old you to bring the nittos down to 12psi. Start at 24psi and work your way from there. Below 18-16psi theyre pretty much going to start to "cup"
I believe in seat time. If you disagree with me or not. I think anytime you get more time practicing launch rpm and what not only helps. I said the car will go 11.3's around 124mph. I still think that.
Luckily its apart now and being fixed with better parts. The good note is the cobra posi unit weighs 8lbs less then the torsen diff. Idk why the torsen is considered an upgrade from the factory. Its junk.
Because our cars were meant for the road course and most dealers just chose to order the Torsen. We all know that the Torsen doesn't like the shock from launching the cars and burnouts. Is there any real specific reason for the cobra unit other than weight savings?
A well setup diff should be hard to turn the pinion anyway. You don't want it loose..
