So I decide to bring my broken motor out for a couple runs to see how my new clutch will hold up.

After a decent wait, aprx. 25 mins before I could stage up, Im next to a blue 94ish Ranger/S10. We stage. Light turns, boom. I bring it out the hole with the spinning fury of an open diff and 150ft/lbs@3500rpm, nasty. No traction, I try to feather the pedal to no avail, he gains 2 cars on me before I catch, finally. I throw 2nd, boom, traction loss for just a second, hook. pulling... gap now just over a car, third, slight slip, great grip car pulled JUST behind him before we creep past the lights.
Barely lost.

I pull over the side to raise the boost from 6psi to test out a lil' higher. He rides up next to me and asks what I ran. 15.81 I replied. He said he ran a 15.4?(I think) but he had 0 traction, "Can't hook on this track". He told me he ran a 14.6 the night before. I think Im goin to try T&T thursday @9psi.

Really nice guy, later sat. met up with him at the rices out to da chapel.

1320 isn't too bad, cept lack of traction. My next run I was against a monster hatchback he managed a 16 something... I managed another 15.81, this time I didn't have my girl in the car with me, I still had no traction, but down the line in 3rd gear @4krpm my car started bogging. I lowered the fuel down on the SAFC and it hasn't done it anymore... weird non-the-less.

I really feel I lost a full second+ with the traction not being there. Im going to get a set of DR's on the front and see if that helps.

 

I think my problem lies in my launching, none of you except for DinoZ have any clue what 150ft/lbs. of torque before 4krpm does to a launch. Im slowly trying to learn how to control an OPEN DIFF FWD car from a stop.

 

You have a sunbird putting down 150wtq? massive.

My car is also not very heavy in the front.
Before T&T Im gonna drop the front end a couple in.
lower the pressure and see if I can't get some decent times. I'll be happy with a 14.8@6psi. Altho I raised to boost to 7 yesterday, so I may just go with it at that.

 

Ya know, at first I was fine with you being a fucking idiot to everyone here, and people were always talking shit about you. I've never said anything negative to you or about your car. Yet you sit here and talk shit about my engine like I care that you car runs better in the 1/4 then mine does. Dog, put me on ignore, don't fucking reply to my posts anymore, your useless chattering does nothing but piss me and others off. STFU.
PS. My lowly D series motor kept up with Dino, with, newer GT's, RSX-s', etc... bout the only fucking stock cars I lose to on the road are one's with real HP, IE: 350ci+

Fuck off.
