I have 7 free tickets for those who want to go. I had planned on going with my girlfriend, but she is out of town, so I am friendless for the race. :laugh:
I know my motor can handle it as it has made more power than what it is currently making with the previous owner. It made 810rwhp on 93 octane with the old owner @7-8lbs. When I got it here to Vegas we retuned it for our 91 octane here and elevation change and it made 773rwhp/710rwtq @7-8lbs...
690 or 700rwhp is pretty much the same thing. The point of the post is obviously lost by now as we got onto the subject of these high numbers for stock paxton setups. I believe the numbers Kenric is claiming, I just wonder how much the correction factor actually comes into play when you are...
I also have to try the hand trick, as I can't seem to make the shifts correctly at all in this car. Its weird as in my C5 I never had a problem like this.
I understand about my motor, but what I was trying to point out with these 700rwhp claims of stock motors, is why even go through the process of a build up like my motor if you can just change out pistons and make the same power? It would seem ridiculous to spend $30-$40k on a 522" setup if you...
I searched this site and some others are claiming over 700 on a stock motor and paxton only. It sounds like if you were to change out the pistons, you should be able to push the motor hard and make the same numbers as I have.
Viper X,
They are still fabbing the new fuel system, so I am still running around on my Aeromtive Eliminator pump. But now that temps are below 100 I have not had any problems with the vapor locking. I plan on going to the BBQ next Sunday but was worried about my fuel situation so I ordered an...
Re: What\'s the weather going to be like in Vegas?
Be sure and put sunscreen on also, as I was outside today for about 4 hours and my face is burnt fairly good. It doesn't feel hot here right now with the temps in the low 90's, but the UV rays are killer here. I never remember to put anything...
If right now I am making 770rwhp with the standard pully at 8psi and 91 octane, would could I reasonably expect to gain by going to say a 10,12,14 pound pulley and 100 octane gas?
How much can be gained from just retuning for 100 octane gas with my current 8lb setup?
Is it the same as the Vettes? When I did my Vette I took a magnet and started from the pass rear, to driver rear, to pass front to driver front and they reset. I then drove the car for about 5 minutes and the computer picks them up into memory. That was it.
At the Rebel stations they sell 100 for $4.99. I also believe the Pilot next to the track carries racing fuel. Also not all the stations listed on the rocketfuel site still carry the racing gas, only the "rebel" stations carry it now, not the co-branded "76/rebel" stations.
I have garage spots for anyone wanting to leave their cars and then come back. I have a detached garage that has room for about 3 cars if needed. I won't be attending the offical VOI festivities but will be doing other things that week and will be attending the BBQ on Sunday.
Yes, he did a Ford commerical as they sponsor American Idol. However I was commenting that the dude in these pics looks just like Taylor Hicks just a little older. :laugh:
Re: what 18
Then you obviously haven't pushed the gas pedal down more than 1/4 throttle. :laugh: I easily blow the tires under hard acceleration up through 4th gear with the Pilots.
Taylor Hicks owns a Viper! :laugh: Dude won American Idol and went out and bought himself a GTS. Seriously I have thought about doing this exact thing. I believe there is another company that does it also for something like $995 and you drive 6 different cars for 30 minutes each also. About...
So what would it take to switch out the Eliminator for the A1000? Do you know if they are physically the same size? Would just a different fitting be needed to go from -12 to
-10 inlet?
Joe,
Would the A1000 be suitable for a s/c car making 800rwhp and in the Vegas heat? Is there some design difference between the 2 pumps that causes one to overheat?
I have the Aermotive Eliminator pump which is garbage in the heat! They overheat and vaporlock in temps over 100 degrees. I switched pumps thinking it was the pump but had the same problem and another car similar is also having the same problems with the Eliminator, so its not isolated to my...
