Matt give me a call when your car breaks into the high 12s on race gasOriginally posted by azteck2
So Dave, when you gonna let someone who knows how to drive take your down the track? If you ran an 11.9, that means with someone else behind the wheel it should do a 9.00...hahahahahahahahahaha
Something tells me that if I give you another two years you still wont beat my pump gas traps from last year (117). They do have AA chapters for people that are addicted to haterade. Seek help man before its too late.I am using a twin disk clutch that Hesspower.com sells. We are probably the only two people in the US that are using them. It uses sintered bronze disks and a 1600lb pressure plate. You can slip that clutch all day long and not only will it never glaze it will just grip harder. I went with this setup because using a ACT2900 and replacing the clutch disk every 50 passes isnt very appealing.Originally posted by DSM mechanix
Dave, what clutch have you been using with the 4G64? how is it holding up? and would it make a good street clutch?
Yeah some people get really caught up with how bad the time was. It was my first pass in over 9 months and my first pass at the track with that setup. I just bogged no big deal. Get me a couple of passes on a grudge night at the track and Im sure I will be cutting 1.7s again. Im really not too worried about it.Originally posted by DSM mechanix
and once agian, good job on the car(not so much the times)

Countless pulls on the street but only ONE pass at the track so far. Wes has about a dozen passes on his. The clutch runs about 1200 bucks. That is a lot but when you compare it to an ACT/Findanza setup and the additional RR costs my clutch will pay for itself in two seasons of heavy use on a big hp car.Originally posted by Blitz
How many passes have you made on that clutch? How much is it?
I guess you consider that clever unfotunately it just comes off as desperate. Nice try thoughOriginally posted by azteck2
yeah Dave, I guess you got me there, my car will never be as fast as yours... but then again i never drove off the end of the track either! Good luck, and keep remembering to step on those brakes at the end of the track!


Yeah Mike did a 12.20@114 with a pretty good 60 ft on 110 leaded on a cool night at 25lbs of boost. I did a 11.9@126 with a crappy 60 ft at 21lbs on 93 octane on a 100 degree day. If you cant see the difference then there is nothing I can do. Like I said before if I can get the same 60fts I was getting last year I will be hitting mid to low 11s on pump gas and probably high mid 10s at 133+ on c16. Can you say that you are putting down almost 500hp to the wheels on pump gas? Or do you just sit on the sidelines and put down other's accomplishments?Originally posted by Dsmfiend
Hey dave that car you have, is that the same one that Mike K owned that ran 12.20 and didn't have half the stuff you have done to it now?
Or do you just sit on the sidelines and put down other's accomplishments?
UCH.....
You just get that biatch tooned and you will have everyone in awwweeeeee!Originally posted by rdrkt

Yeah right. You registered on Tuners just to ask me that question. Its tone was obvious. Dont play it off like you werent trying to be a dick.Originally posted by Dsmfiend
You must have the biggest head in the world. Who is hating? I asked a question and response was hostile
Yes you wait and you make snide remarks about other accomplishments. Its much easier to sit and put down others than attempt to go out and do stuff.Originally posted by Dsmfiend
Maybe I do watch on the sidelines waiting for a day I can bring out a car that will be quick enough to compete, but for now I will wait.
Im not trying to put anyone down. You came on here trying to make funny remarks to get a response and you did. EVERYONE here knows I dont turn my own wrenches. Honestly who cares? I spent the money and got the results. How many people locally have started projects only to have them go nowhere?Originally posted by Dsmfiend
You didn't even build your car so who are you trying to put down.
Again trying to be funnyOriginally posted by Dsmfiend
Wess this and Wess that, I know him pretty good and I am alittle surpised that he can walk with your head so far up his ass.
Wes is my friend he is the best DSM mechanic you are ever going to meet. He is one of the top 13 fastest in the WHOLE country. To me that is success. Ok so you came here and registered why? Same thing with azteck2. Im pretty sure the only reason he is here is to try and give me a hard time. How is having nothing but bad to say not hating?Originally posted by Dsmfiend
So sorry to tell you that no one is hating on you, I'm just sorry no one else knows you like everyone around here does.
People know me here just fine. Im not a mechanic nor do I play one on the internet. I am here to try and help people when I can. Im 23 years old. Sometimes I screw up again who cares? What does this have to do with this thread? How is bringing up stuff this off topic not hating? All Im doing is sharing my results. I dont have a swollen head I am just enthusiastic about how well the car is doing.Originally posted by Dsmfiend

That's just plain COOL! Originally posted by rdrkt

I am estimating. But its a fairly good estimate. You take a 3200lbs DSM running 126 traps and do the math. It comes out to around 470hp. I would like to eventually get over to BM tranny but its pretty far away for me. For now I will just let the MPH be an indicator of the HP Im making.Originally posted by Blitz
Not putting down what you've done, but how do you know your car is putting down 500hp when your has car never been on a dyno?
