topstreet said:I guess the way I am going to be looking at its is that "give or take" We left very close to the same time and I was a decent amount of time ahead of him at the end. I have a longer incar video that shows him passing me way after I hit the breaks.
All im saying is that his time is a reference point. I will be heading to the track again very soon.
Thanks Cullen and Chris D.
Slippi: as much as it may look like it. I dont know any one who just dumps the clutch on a multi-disc setup. The faster you can get the drivetrain to catch up to your lauch RPM with out spinning or bogging is the whole idea. The guys that just seem to "dump" the clutch, just have there slip down really well. I am not sure if you have driven the Quarter Master clutch before but, there is NO slip. Meaning whatever tire speed you have is were the drivetrain to engine rpm you are going to have. Meaning if I dont slip it enough and the tires are only spinning fast enough to match about 5k rpm, and Im at 7k. It is going to bring the engine down or drivetrain up to match. In many cases this is where things break. In my case, the millisecond I hear the turbo increase rpm I can let of the clutch. I can imagine on a car with nytrous, it would be right about when you hit the spray.
Either way, Practice is what is going to get it done. I think some of the other guys here can give there experiences with solid engagment clutches and give another perspective on the launch.
Long story short, an ACT or RPS clutch assembley, regardless of how hard it seems to hit, you realize with on of these bad boys it still has a little slip to it. Ask Jake M what he thinks about in-gear/ decel.

r/t has nothing to do with the time you run.Phippsp said:Thats is awsome! Work on that R/T and wow.
jdsanchez473 said:How are you guys getting 800hp out of these little engines? I mean i see how, but what kind of internals are you using to stand up to this kind of power, and dont you have problems with the head sealing up? I'm dishing out $4k on my GM Quad 4 to get 400whp (homebrew manifolds, m90 supercharger), what do you guys spend to get 800whp?
Kind of ood, seems like alot of people with the name jake that have one of the fastest cars out of the bunch.. there is a jake that runs a quad 4 and he's the fastest or 2nd fastest of us quad 4 junkies, and once my engine is complete i will be running up there with him, and my name is jake... wtf?

Man it doesn't look like a lot of money on the screenITSME4G63 said:ross/weiseco pistons will handle the abuse, eagle rods or crower rods as well. Id say, built 2.0 bottom end = 3k, build head = 3k, large gt42r turbokit (exhaust manifold, wasgate, turbo etc..) = 3k, built trans = 3k , intercooller setup + misc interior and engine parts & anxles, another 5K I'd say.

topstreet said:Thank you Shearer. I still think it was at most a 9.6 due to the fact I womped the 9.63 next to me with a similar start. Either way I will be making up for this error soon enough. By no means is my ace on the table.
I did say I would listen to a valid explanation and that would make sense. Either way, it is a guess at this point. In 3 passes I went from 1.7/1.8 60's to low 1.5s and who knows what that one was. (other runs in the day) I have trapped as high as 151 before and there have been some nice modifications since then.
50+ psi is in the near future as well as many faster runs with out any funky lights.

topstreet said:Evil~Eagle on the other hand. He has been having really good luck on his short block. I believe he is still using the eagle rods too. I will let him tell you if he wants to.
ITSME4G63 said:that is still mad hp, I dont think I've seen a dsm pull off that much on a dyno before. Do you ahppen to drive this thing out on the street from time to time? How does that little fan cope with the cooling? (what temps do you get?)
I never see coolant temps above 175ish. Normal is 165-170. I would like to put a bigger fan on at some point, but with 80-90 deg outside, its been fine. So we will see.evil_eagle said:He is running the same manifold that I run DNP t4 manifold, not the greatest manifold, but it works "OK".. As far as his motor, he is running a 2.3 stroker/ 272/272 cams with a gt42r ect ect.
topstreet said:Sorry to hear that. Did these bearings spin or just get chewed up. PM me and I will see what assistance I might be.
I am using a set of aluminum rods from FFWD. For a high end rod!!! they are not badly priced, light as all can be, and they are strong!... Backed up with off the shelf, plain-jane ross pistons.
topstreet said:You know, Ross is an awesome company by the way. No they dont sponcer me or anything like that. They are the type to help you when they can though. I have been very happy with the quality and very happy with the service.
EX: The place that was doing my machine work(local) ended up dropping the ball and I took the work somewhere else. I then realized that the old mach. shop "misplaced" one of the wrist pin clips. I called ross and told them what I needed. The lady on the other end was fairly short with what she had to say but said: "I am going to be overnighting this to you today, free of charge... Thank you for using our pistons!" She basically hung up then. I was overwelmed by this. I mean, yeah... It only cost them a few cents or what ever, but they could have been like "ohh I dont know..... 10.oo" Something like that.
