Congrats nice times

 

[talondave]

Man oh man. I still can't believe it. Just goes to show you that dedication and weight reduction can go a long way! F*cking badass man and still banging gears.

It was bad ass using the chute and seeing it in my mirrors! I pulled it alittle late, but got to do it, and that's all that matters.. Probably never use it again

 

[kidtsi]

Nice!!! The sad thing is you probably are the only one using it at full potential, hoping to see 8's soon.

 

[1990AWD]

Congrats Dave! Now just get some seat time with the new car and you'll be knocking down the times like you were a couple years ago.

p.s. who was taking the video? Love the "holy sh*t"

 

[AUTOMODSGST]

AWESOME !

 

[Killa_dsm]

Congrats on the new time!

 

[Dsmkauai]

Bro those are some sick times! I love following you guys and seeing the amazing progress. I'm working on my new setup to run my hx35 on soon, you guys inspire me to keep pressing forward. I have one ? Dave in your profile it says race gas was used, do you mind me asking what kind. I need to figure out what fuel I'm going to use with my next setup. Since I'm in Hawaii it's very hard to get good gas and expensive. So anyway trying to decide so I can finish getting parts I need to finish my build. Thx bro can't wait to see more!!

 

[SBstar]

Great job Dave! I'm so glad to see this car back out. As was said above too many of these projects end up parted out when a big undertaking like yours is going on. Congrats on sticking with it and bringing it back out better then ever!

 

[Archer Fabrications]

I can't find the video? You switched back to dog box from auto?

 

[Purple_Demon]

Congrats man! Good to see the year starting out with some damn good numbers.

He's been banging gears since day one. His tuner Ricky went from a dogbox to a built auto


Dude this is still blowing my mind. A HX40 is not a huge turbo by any means.
On a tired bottom end too? Man. Props to you Dave and Ricky also for his skills keeping that thing together.

Dave, awesome times I know there's a lot more in it too. You still have more boost and 60ft in there. And when you want to go even faster, you'll swap to auto . That mph is just insane. You should get it on a dyno to see what kind of power it's putting down. Justin probably sprinkled some magic on your turbo. Hopefully he does the same to mine haha

Amazing times man, gives the rest of us hope!! I'm hoping to run 10s on 35 lbs of boost with my 40. Ha you did it on 18 psi!!

I run VP Q16 for fuel.

Yeah My car also weighs 2297 lbs without me in it. 18lbs felt crazy in my car couldn't believe how hard it was pulling..

Congrats Dave! Now just get some seat time with the new car and you'll be knocking down the times like you were a couple years ago.

My wife did the video on her phone, that was some guy behind her.

Yup no auto for me, i'll run 9.0s for the rest of my life before I go auto. not dissing autos, their just not for me, I love to bang gears!

The car is flying! the weight of your car makes me jealous does it still have glass or plexi? that weight should really help keep that drivetrain together.

 

[rrussell]

Very Cool. Nice work!!!

I just got done reading the write up from the beginning.

 

[91stocker]

Sick run, that car rolls out hard.

Are you considering running one of the several sets of billet tcase braces available now? Might be a nice compliment to those 300m shafts.

Maybe, not sure yet

Wow I remember how the haters were saying with the holsets,big numbers but slow cars! Where are the haters now!!!! Not bad for a turbo that costs under 600.00 cash! Here comes 8's!

Thanks Nate, thanks for the shell too! A little scared when I first got it, but after a year of working on it it turned out perfect!

 

[11secDSM]

[HIGHPSI4]

Oh yea. Wow really pulls all the way out. Great job.
