I'm only getting 40 seconds of those 2 minutes, and then it ends. I'll tell ya, with all that pipping, you might as well go turbo. LOL

Not that I'm aware of, but they do wear down fairly quick!!! I just put a fresh set of Nitto Nt-01s on the car!

Good to see you up and running again, you call that a light pull?

My car goes into the shop on Monday for a forged shortblock and new cam, I hope I can have a little patience during break-in. I can't wait till you start making some new videos.

782/686 to the wheels!?!?!?! Shhhhhhhhhhit dude!! blink.gif and you road race with that!?!?!?! All I ever hear with big power and road racing is that it's overkill and impossible to modulate in and out of turns. Do you say different JB????? tongue.gif They also mention overheating issues etc. I hear that they almost always go back to N/A applications, with 350-450 power levels when it comes to road racing.

With a properly setup blower car, and careful modulation of the throttle out of the turns, running with big power is a blast!!! As far as heat, I'm OK, just need to properly address it.

The most recent canyon run it with this power level. I just make sure I got fresh sticky rubber!!! pint.gif

Speaking for myself, I hate it when someone tells me that something can't be done. angry.gif It just makes me want to prove them wrong. pain10.gif There's no better feeling then, when I can make or prove the "impossible" possible, and when I can say "See, I told you so". cool.gif But it sucks when you get fired over it. blink.gif * Note to self: Don't ever prove your boss wrong! blush.gif

In all fairness, the modulation concern was more towards a turbo application then supercharged. The overheating issue and belt slippage were the main concerns for supercharged applications along with some modulation concerns.

How hot does the car run on a canyon run? What thermostat?

I have a 180 Stat in at the moment... On a very hot day, running up hill, I hit 230 on oil and coolant. I'm having a fresh cornor weight/aliegnment done as we speak. I'm also having a custom box built to better dirrect the airfow to the radiator. Things should cool off just a bit!
