Congrats!!! You guys just keep chipping away at it!!

Thanks everyone, for the first time I'm starting to question really how much more power the auto can handle. There's nothing hurt or wrong with the trans right now but I'm cautiously watching. This spring I replaced my 2/1/2 year old trans due to totally being wore out. Kinda funny though, I may start having Metro check them every 50 passes or so just to see. I think if we can get on a well prepped track this season may just end with some pretty darn good times. We'll se. We are making the plans to be at the Shoot Out this year again so maybe thats the place to try hard for that illusive 7 sec pass.

How many passes on that trans?

 

[nfernotalon]

Also what ATF are you guys using?

 

[black97spyder]

That's just sick!!! What converter are you guys running?? And do you have a mod list for us to check out?

 

[eclipsed4seed99]

How many passes on that trans?

I really dont keep a full count but maybe 160ish 1/4 mile passes. Ive broke only ring and pinion and one spider, the trans prior to this had a shorter life due to ejecting a center diff out, which is very common on violent launches.

Mod list, Hmmmmm, wiseco hd 9:0to1, filled block, my ported head, GSC S3r cams, Kiggly race only springs, hla, trigger disc. Magnus dry sump,intake, alt delete, FIC 2150's, Metro 2g auto with precision 9.5 billet converter, FP HTA 105 hybrid turbo, ETS water to air. 3000gt rear diff with 300m shafts. E98 fuel.

Wow! That's pretty doggone good! Violent launches you say??? Nah, nothing violent about a 1.2 60' time huh?

What's the difference between the S3's and S3R's? Nothing turned up in some cursory research.

Congrats by the way!

 

[boost97gst]

A true awd burnout.... now that is a combo of extremely tough drivetrain parts and power i cant imagine. Wow..... i mean... wow. damn

 

[Mickey6]

That was an amazing run to witness in person! After the AWD burnout and the 8.2 @ 176....minds were righteously blown in the stands.

 

[camfast]

Have you thought about going with a 8.8 solid rear end? Ive heard that its much lighter than the 3000gt rear diff. Plus you could play with gear ratios and tire combinations if its possible. BTW, great job for the baddest dsm out there!

My cams are custom one offs Greg wanted me to try, believe it or not only 11.7mm of lift 280 something duration.

I've also looked into the straight axle conversion but refuse to do it. I dont care so much about weight, it's waaaaay cooler to run fast on stock IRS, mine is still 20 year old bushings and stock components other then Ksport coilovers.

WOW, congrats on the time, It looked like it did it real easy too.
Def, a 7 sec contender for sure.

For those of you who arent friends with me on facebook, there's tons of photos and videos on the car, my turbo 700 Raptor quad and some of my Evo Lander. https://www.facebook.com/jeffrey.bush.777

 

[LandSpeed-DSM]

amazing

That's not too far off the plain jane GSC S3s I have.. maybe its secret sauce is in the overlap and lift at 0.050?

Thanks for the mod list!! I have bc 288's and sinister 8" weighted core 2 converter was wanting to go with the GSC S3's and possibly a precision converter if my sinister doesn't hold up to a 6766 when i upgrade! You helped my choice greatly!!!

I'm wanting to achieve the times you have ran, but my goals are 9's with a streetable car to still be able to enjoy it on occasional weekends

 

[eclipsed4seed99]

We're going back out this next saturday for Forum Fest at Pacific Raceway. I'm not gonna do anything top fuel but I do have plans for some interesting testing on some new changes.
