Vrpracing Auto FP Black Results

[DSM Chase]

As some of you may know we recently switched to the FP Ball bearing Black after running the 68HTA on our Auto car, We won our local Import showdown Event in the Street Tuner class last weekend. New best Et 10.52 @ 125! (see profile for slip) car ran in the 10.50s-10.60s all day Saturday with a best 60' of 1.601, Car still has street tires and all of these passes were made WITHOUT nitrous to spool up.

Stock converter
35psi
Weight 2750 no driver still has full front interior.

On a better note this car is daily drivable ! There is much left in the car, we cant wait to get some slicks and run some 9s!

Here's a 10.55 pass video!

[black97spyder]

Id like to know what converter, weight and boost level are as well.

Stock converter, 35psi

 

[VRP]

2.3
Weight 2750 no driver.
Convertor Stock Restall 3100
35lbs of boost
Q16 fuel
No nitrous (thanks Kevin- at Kiggly) takes 8 seconds to 16lbs..

The FB Black is very streetable. Especially running kiggly wiring and B&M Ratchet..

 

[black97spyder]

Nice! How high are you able to rev the 2.3? I noticed you went through all 4 gears in the 1/4 mile, do you not worry about burning up 4th gear?... there are a lot of high HP auto guys who have recommended to not go into 4th gear at WOT ever ### it will burn O.D. right up

 

[VRP]

With the low profile (short) street tires we run I keep it under 9k.
Kiggly 5 disc front clutch..
IPT end clutch...
No Problems.

Plus the end clutch (4th gear) clutch pak takes 5 minutes to replace..Trans in car.

[tlcoolj]

who did your restall?

 

[turtleb00st]

I'm lost. This seems slow for a fp black. I understand its auto but only 125? 35psi and that weight I would expect a lot faster mph

 

[Bud92gsx]

Was it just me or was 4th gear used?

 

[NWHTanK]

Very nice indeed

 

[black97spyder]

Yes 4th gear was used bud, he has an IPT end clutch kit... personally id be weary about using 4th even with the end clutch kit but hell ig if he doesnt mind swapping end clutches out then its no worries, more power to him. Plus it doesnt take very long to swap end clutches.. it takes longer to install the new end clutches in the clutch pack than it does taking it on and off the car.

 

[donniekak]

More worrisome than the clutches blowing is the shaft snapping. It's very thin out on that end.

I never even thought about that! That is even a better reason to not use O.D..... that would absolutely tear up the whole trans

Stock converters are not known to couple very effectively on the top end.

Trap speeds are in line with stock torque convertor and low profile tires.
As far as going to fouth gear and reliability, I have yet to see one fail.
I do it because my RPMs would go through the roof if I didnt

This same car and same transmission ran 19 weeks straight at Atlanta Motor Speedway this summer ,clinching the Friday Night Drag Series Championship in tuner class with 7 wins.. 70% of the heats were back to back and hotlapped.
Friday Night Drags | Events/Tickets | Atlanta Motor Speedway look at results.

Plus we ran 6 qualifiers this past weekend at Import Showdown -winning the tuner class as well.
Not sure where or who is burning up fourth and breaking end clutch shafts ..we havent yet.

Torque Convertor was restalled by Transmission Parts Unlimited. They do alot of mod convertors for racers in our area.
They Cut mine open , checked it out good, and restalled to 3100 for $125 bucks.
