Rob , get us some videos , i would love to to see/ hear that thing . maybe i get to see it in person ,ill try and get marski and come down to the mile

 

Hoosiers are not good for the street at all, they have a certain amount of heat cycles in them (A6's especially) , and they are worthless for traction after they are have reached them. A6's are an autox tire, they last even less than the R6's because they are stickier. R6's are good a for 3 or 4 track days depending on how hard you are on them. You should be running DR's with you power levels IMO.

 

Sometimes ........... but we share information.

 

Just PM'ed you information on where to get additional information and purchase.

 

Rob,

Talk to Tommy about tires. I think he likes the MT DR's.

 

My car is setup to be a handling car, DR are to tall for my suspension. If i keep the boost under 25 inches she hooks. So I think I will try A6 to see if I can turn the boost up and still hook. I know they dont last long however if they can fit under my car that is my only option. Sean, have you raced Peter? I would like to see that one.

I haave no experience with A6 but I have run R6 and found that in straight-line acceleration the bite was better with 245/315 Nitto NT-01's than with 275/335 HoosierR6's.

 

Rob,

I agree with Luis. Divexxtreme had some good luck with Drag radials and you
just have to know the proper size. I believe that they are 18". PM Divexx for details.
If you still have your Hoosiers on then we will explect to see you at TX2K9 for the
Road racing portion (although at your power levels it will be about as quick as Barnett's Viper around the track). I have run A6 and R6 on street and track and they
provide more lateral grip than straight line but at your power levels you will need something specifically designed for straight line.
Good luck,

BYW, Post that video of you racing me for fun!

You have to run DR's if you want any kind of traction

Enjoy!

 

The real question is which Pcars will man up and actually run during the drag activity's? I know of at least one camo ****box that will,but we're not bringing 1K HP, but our car should do farely well in the 1/4. We'll have some tricks up our sleeves.

If the car survives the weekend, we'll leave the rig out in Texas for some action at the mile.

 

Not to take anything away from the 9ff car, but it is running meth injection, this may account for quite a bit?

 

Cascon ?

 

Question for those running 800 plus hp. What compression ratio are you using?

We are entertaining dropping our compression ratio from the stock 9.4-1 to 8.5.1. It would allow running more boost safely. It would also allow more advance and timing. The torque would increase in the mid range with a little loss of throttle response. I don't believe this would affect us much with the stroker crank.

The big plus would be, being able to use 91 octane fuel most of the time.

 

You've come this far, spend this much money and time in the engine, and don't plan on driving the car that frequently? For that scenario I'd defiantly consider running race gas all the time with the higher compression and getting full enjoyment out of the setup.
