i went back yesterday to the race park
i managed a 14.162 @ 100.03 with 75hp nitrous and the slicks
and a 15.228 @ 90.92
however i am still having problems getting the car to launch, even with the slicks, but i did make an improvment and got the 60ft down to 2.242

using an online calculator from the last 1\4 mile i have at leased 271hp@wheels.
however is i no longer work at a rolling road, i have book next wednesday to go and get her measured before the next set of upgrades...
the next set of upgrades are a nice big turbo and maybe some custom suspension to hold the power better.

I did have a supercharger about 18months ago, but making it all work at the time seamed to much effort.
I am now working as an electrical engineer for a pumping company in crew. But based from home.

Those are some pretty impressive times mate. Nice to see someone out there proving that these cars can be made to really shift. Must be really satisfying when you come first on the strip
All the best

Fair enough, I just think it would be cooler having a supercharger rather than turbo.jago wrote:I did have a supercharger about 18months ago, but making it all work at the time seamed to much effort.
Saying that I still keep thinking about the NSX engine idea.

I think the cost of the engine itself would prevent thatCHR15E wrote:Fair enough, I just think it would be cooler having a supercharger rather than turbo.jago wrote:I did have a supercharger about 18months ago, but making it all work at the time seamed to much effort.
