Question about the gearing... would these make highway cruising uncomfortable? Would they be practical for a DD car? Thanks, Tony

Awesome time man!

Did you use the 4.08's that people use for the 350z?

I'm more impressed with the mph than anything else!

110 = mid 12s at least with a 1.6/7 60'

Thats actually very impressive.

Just think about it this way...most GTRs are dyno'n, ~420 whp on DynoJets...If we with a SC/Turbo get ~450whp and we weigh-in ~500lbs less than a GTR, than besides the launch control system and instant shifts that give the GTR its great 1/4 mile time, with a 1.7 60' we should definitly be in the mid 11s with some very nice trap speeds!

I wonder, with F.I. (450rwhp or so) and cutting 1.6 60' times if we will start seeing diffs crumble and or half shafts breaking and or other drive train issues. I know Dreamer was having some clutch issues at the track and he is pretty much stock.

I think the question is fair. I know I am not the first one to have their clutch stick going into 2nd at the 1/4 mile track. I did a run after that happened maybe 10 minutes later and it seemed fine so, one time fluke?

i think the ecu is tied into everything that breaths on this car...so may have been a safety protocol put into effect by the ecu because it met the parameters to engage the safety overide...just my thoughts...
