12.17 @ 117mph. video!

hooleyboy · 03-28-2009, 06:04 AM

What a night, I'm on my way to the track and the car starts sputtering. I'm like o sht! I think I just blow my trans or something. Felt like a misfire or a stripped out something: So I call Richard at Dyno-Comp on his cell at 9pm and he drives 35min to my house (yes I turned around and made it home). to fix the problem. It turns out I had a loose connection on one of my coil packs. Hows that for customer service (Dyno-Comp rules!). Friday night and the Owner of the shop hops in his car and comes to me to fix the problem.

Thanks to Richard at Dyno-Comp I make it to the track by 10pm...Evan can attest that the track was in bad shape, Evan (cruzinquick) who never spins his tires was spinning of the line.

Evan can confirm the DA was around 2300ft??? I laid down a 12.17 @ 117mph. With gobbs of wheel spin. I was coming out sideways at the tree and had to lift to get any traction.

With better track prep, this car can be in the 11's easy It pulls so damn hard.

I need an LSD bad its confirmed Motul diff fluid didnt help lock up this time.

Thank you Evan for the video

Amazing !!

hooleyboy · 03-28-2009, 06:48 AM

Have to say The car preformed well on its first test, even with wheel spin. Still some software and intake issues to address.

ABALONE · 03-28-2009, 07:14 AM

Nice run! Car is sounding great!

Just wanted to say that,

Wheel spin = Only affect the ET (time), the trap speed doesn't change more then a 2-3 mph if you have full traction.

EURO KNG · 03-28-2009, 07:19 AM

wow sick

I Like Soup · 03-28-2009, 07:24 AM

Nice...and you beat a loud Supra! LOL!

That is so true: Its just hard knowing you have to lift off the gas and what time could have been , should have, would have bla bla bla.... There is always a next time. I will be in the 11's. I still have some tricks up my sleeve. Right now 12.1 feels really good. And the Beer I'm drinking right now is even better.

Right now Evan (cuzinquick) and myself are about a dead even race and i'm glad to be in his class. IF you have ever had the chance to Meet Evan, He is a stand up guy who is always willing to help.

I will take a "W" vs a Turbo supra with D/Rs any time... They dont come often

JAYCL600 · 03-28-2009, 08:14 AM

nice runs, looking at your video you need a longer burnout to get the tires sticky, do you know the air pressure in the DR's?

What was happening is I always get two tire burnouts, it would almost fool you into thinking I have an LSD, As soon as I dropped my tire pressure to 16lbs Only one wheel was spinning causing me to get lame burnouts and bad launches.

I ran a pass with a nice smoky burnout with more air in the tires and had no problem getting both tires to light up. I think the added grip of the Hoosiers at low PSI were only letting one wheel spin???

next time out have a buddy put extra water in the box and drop pressure, the lower the pressure the more of a contact patch you will have, C55's are light in the azz man and you need a ton of grip back there, maybe switch to Mickey Thompson DR's if you can. Awesome project man, much respect.

I got MT's D/R waiting in my garage

They are heavy though. My M/Ts tires weight 29lbs each! Hoosiers are only 17lbs.... Maybe thats my problem.

wow def a huge difference in weight, if you can make them stick stay with them, if you cant try swapping them out for the Mickeys, Ive had good luck with the mickeys lately. Ive never used the Hoosiers so I cant comment on them.

I'm going to try and drop the psi even more next time. This car should be 1.8-1.7's in the 60ft. might suffer up top where this car really pulls.

alumar · 03-28-2009, 11:25 AM

Great run Hooley! I totally know what you mean with tirespin... I was trying that **** on normal michelin pilots! best i mustered is in my signature...

Welcome to the low 12's - more than enough potential 11's club

Its to bad we live so far appart, it would be great to see both of us lined up!

blackbenzz · 03-28-2009, 11:30 AM

Congrats on the runs!

Hoosier drag radials are great tires and as you said much lighter han the mickey counterparts. I definitely want to try the Hoosiers next. I've been trying to tell people to switch to mickeys or hoosiers for along time. You either need a LSD or to get your tires really wet before starting your burnout. You need both wheels to spin and heat em up alot more than you did in that vid. Then she will hook and you will bang your head against the seat and experience a launch like never before

wawy · 03-28-2009, 12:15 PM

I think its time you put that spare back in the trunk for some extra weight

Good run! 11s are just around the corner my friend!

JG26_Irish · 03-28-2009, 01:39 PM

Kudos Hooley

Wow mate, that little beastie is quick. We need to get you to a track that is closser to sealevel in the DA, lol. It ain't gonna take much to break into the 11's. Little more traction, better track prep, a couple of fat chicks in the back seat and BAM you are there. Thanks for sharing the video. Loved it.

jturkel · 03-28-2009, 02:50 PM

nice runs Mike! you will hit the 11s soon! hopefully before the DA and temps rise ridiculously out here.

if you hadnt let up off the throttle and were somehow able to feather it a little more from your launch and maintain traction, 11s would have happened IMO

SilverBulletAMG · 03-28-2009, 04:52 PM

You easily have an 11s car on your hands. Good run.

1qikctr · 03-28-2009, 04:53 PM

11 sec car for sure mike, get some drag tires with 17 inche rims, let your car fly.

turbo16lbs · 03-28-2009, 04:54 PM

The car sounds phenomenal.
