FPV GTHO, are you planning on getting a tune?

Is that from 3.45s to 3.9s?

we are going back out on the 14th. the Fuchs Nationals are on the weekend before so if there is no rain before Wednesday the track should still have a bit of the stickiness left. Joe was saying it gets a lil scary, on the track. in the second pass about half track, the *** end tries to take the front over
![]() on a race meet or test n tune the track is awesome, for instance we 60' 1.28 on race days at the R4R best 60' was a 1.39, the 9.2 run was a 1.51 ![]() it'd be good in times, makes things more interesting. people just tell them at scrutineering what the car runs and then they get assigned the lane. if people don't know then let them have a run or 2 and work it out from there. i think most of the cars that go run between 12-14-sec so might need a couple lanes for those guys. was talking with Steve last night, the guy with the SS, he runs Nankang 245's on the rear, not sure if they are ZR-rated or not. he wants to hit 130mph, he was saying the engine light was coming on last time and the car kept nosing over. i said just try and stay under 140mph or you'll need a chute n cage ![]() Last edited by prasac; 02-09-2011 at 10:30 AM. |

And yeah, only mod is the shorter diff. Getting to the 1/8th much quicker, the 2nd 1/8th is still about the same. Topping out 5th though, so no more shorter diffs, or I won't make the finish line :P

How do the new gears feel in general (spirited-driving mode)? Quote:
![]() I have the same car roughly speaking (BF Futura), and if I had my chance to do it again I'd go for a 3" catback. Same mods as you plus cat (I had another aftermarket cat before the 100cpi) and tune, returned a 14.303 @ 98.52mph. Quote:

Arent the 100 cell cats technically illegal or something? Maybe a pair of them running into a stock XR6T system would be the trick for flow and emissions compliance. I'd chuck some cams and a new diff at the car (not really sold on a stall yet) if i wasnt trying to build my other car, an EB V8 that i figure needs about $10-15K put into it for the way i want it. At the moment im thinking just a Territory intake pipe and a tune and that'll be it.

If you get a tune the tuner will have this light removed permanently to avoid any unwanted attention. It's not like your gutting it. If you keep the old one lying around you should be safe. What tyres did you do you run in?

yeah, for daily driving, it's much more responsive.
Downside, is worse highway economy. Around town it's exactly the same. Would I do it again. Yes.

Theres some rule of thumb isnt there with dropping time on the 60ft and how it translates to the overall time? Something like a couple of tenths off the 60ft will be a second quicker over the quarter?

That much of a gain isnt really a surprise, i ran the 275/40/18 rears my 3rd last time and my best run was a 15.0. I tried to fit a 205/65/15 from my EB before i went last time but something wasnt allowing it to sit on the hub properly.

E Series have a diff offset and also 15 inch don't fit over BA front brakes but I have read you can USE a pair of E series wheels on the rear for the track but they wont clear the front brakes.
