Link to original dyno

frost 09-20-2009 01:01 AM
Yeah, my problem is, I have to wait for one of us to dyno it. I dont trust those fools. I don't want to end up like the people who bought short rams and saw loss of HP trusting vendors. (I know that's still under debate)

Yea, I am waiting on the final version to be finished, then dyno and video as well, before I pull the trigger on anything.

Or like another exhaust maker who put their crap out too early, and it had fitment issues.

Trips 09-20-2009 01:09 AM

It looks like it.

theDreamer 09-20-2009 11:17 AM
I "slept in" until 9...lol. Went to 1/4 mile track last night, did not do very good, but it was my first time ever. Only had two good runs out of four, but in the end it was a lot of fun. Just will not go back unless it is cooler and it has not rained everyday for the past week so the bugs are less.

ah man thats cool, your first time at a qtr mile track? i bet u had a blast...

what was your best time considering the crappy conditions?

theDreamer 09-20-2009 11:21 AM
Yep, first time I raced on the quarter mile. Have been to a few events before, my best time was 14.3, one of the issues I had with the place was you hit both staged lights and your three yellows went instantly and no time to get your car really "ready" and "set."

My last run of the night I had a good launch, tires spun a bit to much in first and second so I only ran a 14.9, but also it was 4 runs later and the car was just pumping hot air into the intakes.

that's good your getting time in. I know how it feels the first time at the track the butterflies lessen the more you go.

You know, I was more nervous in the waiting line then went I hit the staging line. My one issue I had was how little time I really get to set before I go, but I know more of what to do now and such so next time I will be better. :D

Trips 09-20-2009 11:28 AM
yea it gets a little easier with more time there. You can beat the rush when you nail it and you start banging gears.

kdo2milger 09-20-2009 11:30 AM
thats pretty good for your first time :tup:

it only gets better from here...

i haven trun the z yet, but i have run the mach before and it is a blast...

so i look forward to getting the z on the track soon :)

Trips 09-20-2009 11:34 AM
Once you go and do consistent runs you try improving with mods that way you see if they really help and if you can? get a extra set of rims and buy some dot cheater slicks so your not spinning so much out the box.

:worship:Z eliminator got a 12.8 :tup: so the z finally got in the 12's

RT .0040
60 FT 1.9649
330 FT 5.5400

1/8 ET 8.3230
1/8 MPH 86.36
1/4 12.8009
1/4 MPH 110.33

I missed running 12.7's by .0009. Stock tires, with stillen G3, CBE, Berk cats and 4.08 gears. I ran it with a very cool engine and 4th guy down the track. Traction got worse on every pass and in the end the best i good do was 2.1 to 2.3's !!!! It spun the tires in first no matter how i babied it of the line. The real scarry part is 2nd gear. I shiffed at 7300 and when it went into 2nd it spun the tires from 6700 to 7200 and i had to shift into thrid This happens in a split 2nd. ( rev matching is the problem as i had no 2nd gear when the track lost traction).
2nd best pass was a 12.95 @ 110.92.
The hotter the moter got the slower the car ran 13.01 to 13.56.
After one pass late in the day my oil temp was 230 degres!!
The 12.8009 run it was reading 158.

It was a great day as the track owner informed me that my reaction time was the best time of the day for all the cars there.
I also belive that my car has more RWHP that 291 per my last dyno run. It has to be close to 318 to 320.
I improved from 13.2098 to 12.8009.
I could not run my roja 19.s with the toyos as i could not get a short valve stem for one of the rims. With those tires it would have gone low 12.7s easy.
The 370 is very fast with the 7 AT. but with stock tires are its a major problem. I tried lanching at different rpms and the best was 1000. If i held the gas and the brake at 2000 rpm the car bogged. For all the other guys out here i would love to know how you do it.
If i would have had 50 shot or nitrous like the other guy it would have run low 12.3's.
Next modes. pulley, headers and tecno square flash. I need some drag radials for this car. Have to find some rims to clear the back brakes in 16 inch.
Will keep you guys posted.

Yeah, I am definitely go to throw out the Takeda's (or sell them on the boards) and pick up Injen I think. Berk exhaust arrives December at some point and I hopefully F.I. long tube headers are out so I can pick between Berk HFC or F.I. headers.

I will probably not go to the track (1/4 mile) to do cheater slicks but it is a good idea.

Yes but he has some good mods, though mostly basic bolt ons. Wstar went with us last night, but he could only put down mid 13s, so it was not the best night for our cars.

Thinking ......... they need to finish "version 2", and I need to see independant verifiable dyno that maintains the claimed 18 HP increase, as well as a video on the sound.

mornin John :icon23:

so why them? is it the sound or looks your after?

kdo2milger 09-20-2009 11:42 AM
oh damn, wrong icon :rofl2:

theDreamer 09-20-2009 11:45 AM
Way to go, I bet wstar should be in the 12s with what he has if we could get a none horrible night. Plus everyone was sliding in first and even second gear, he actually ran a 13.7 I think his first run with a trap speed of 78MPH.

Morning back at cha :icon23: :p (wrong icon was funny)

Performance wise, they offer the same approximate increase as the other choices, about 18HP, and...... the build quality and materials seem to be in the same ballpark, so the final determining factor is they are about $500 cheaper than the FI or Stillen. Now, this could all change after they complete version 2 of the exhaust, dyno numbers could drop, sound could be crappy. Will have to wait and see. I am still open minded as to what I'll do.
