nice run dude! that is one sick ride...i wanna see this car in person one day

 

Here's a pass I made, a little slow (having a couple issues this day getting the car in gear, and turns out 2 plugs werent firing right) But it's almost my best 60'...


Fast forward to 2.00 minutes.

MMMmmmmmm pop poop pop pop:3_chubby:

 

i love how the car jumps out at you lol..literally.

haha seems like your car just doesn't like spark plugs man...b/c that seems to always be an issue haha

 

lol pwnt

good run man, car looks pretty mean

 

Respect....that's a monster.

 

Car sounds good cudas but I know you got better then an 11.8 in that thing.

 

That run was 11.01

4.00 minutes 11.03 1.44 60'

Dont have my 10 sec passes on film, just slips...

 

his best is a 10.98 i believe.

 

btw:

10.95 @ 125.6mph
1.42 60'
439whp 394 ft-lbs... Mustang Dyno
2890 lbs

 

it's N/A right?

 

yeah hes n/a hes only got headers, cams and exhaust.... well thats what his profile says...

 

mild heads, mild cam, headers, open exhaust, 92mm intake, intake manifold.

...his own made custom suspension. (he actually makes some stuff for tibs as well, but not many ppl on NT know)

 

well i got showed up lolz....so yes promo he is na.....

 

By the way, In case you don't know, Drag racing isn't about how much MPH you can have, its efficiency. Something your car doesn't have, as witnessed by your lack of 60'ing. It's much better to run 11's @ 113 mph 60' footing hard, and leaving YOU at the line, then it is to run a 12.2 at 113. All your FWD "street cars" show is in-efficiency, and a lack of ability/intelligence. You could be a lot faster. Hell there are honda's that embarrass the hell out of you on radials, at your power levels...

Notice a pattern with my car, its a manual, and 1.42, 1.43, 1.44 60's all the same day, basically in a row. 11.01, 11.03, 11.05... consistancy is key in racing BLANCO!!!!

So before you try to preach to anyone about racing, you should sort your SLOW car out first.

 

Why can't these type of threads ever stay civilized?....

Tiburon Blanco - You stated your opinion and that is it...no need to keep going with the BS. I don't know why you always have to come busting in with PR is the king of racing. My Hyundai is better and faster...blah..blah..blah. Leave it be and stay out of these guys threads or I will start infracting.

 

LOL Rush, he's been warned on numerous occasions, his friends list is dwindling I think ....no?:3_coool:

 

wow clean car sounds like a beast. love the freaking launch when the 2 front tires completely come off the ground

 

2 Cudas, your car would scare the crap out of me and my piss as well.

Sick machine you built there

 

Impressive, btw what clutch you using?

 

Not an expert on drag racing, and not sure I should contribute to this 'thread', BUT, could someone explain how 'Blanko' figures his car is faster than 2Cudas, one car is trapping @ 113mph, the other @ 123mph! I under stand ET wins the race, but something is not adding up for me, Merry Christmas!

 

Thx Rushr and RYLOTH for the cleanup.....I hated seeing my thread get killed for that very reason:3_yes:

 

No problem man, I know it gets frustrating. Hell it's frustrating for us because we always see the same ole crap...lol

 

What got me thinking, as I said earlier, was how one car traps 10 mph faster than another one, that tells me one has a bunch more HP, ET is more about efficiency as someone said, obviously weight, traction, front/rear wheel drive all figure in, I'm not clear on how all this fits together, so I was hoping for some good info without the BS!

 

What would you like to know? PS. 123 is slow for me, its usually almost always 125+ Blanco just tries to instigate with the three of us, minesbetter, fullblowntib and I when ever he gets the chance. I would be happy to clarify anything you like as far as to ho much blanco is in denial about beating me.

 

We've got sohc 89 civics running that @ our track consistently, so the little "inefficient" remark would seem to me that you are having some issues yourself running that RWD beast proplery 2cudas lol :3_puh2: Very nice passes and personally i really like the ride:3_yes: but i don't think you will be earning many admirers here on NT... Like you, most of us who have modded a tib have come to terms that our fwd korean imports with sedan engines. They just won't be as fast as a proven muscle car with a disgustingly large plethora of aftermarket parts LOL. :3_yes:.

I understand my fwd import with a sedan engine won't be as fast as a muscle car with a plethora of aftermarket parts, but I guess i'll live.

Perhapsyou should be aware of what you are replying to, before you do next time. Because a troll came in here.

PS. Ive been here 3 years longer then you, I dont need you to tell me to "go to a chevy forum". It's not like im not on them as well.

And inefficient was also describing blanco's lack luster 60's, and his attempt to be a big shot.

And I'd love to see that same honda go sub 1.6's. Unless your talking a real "race" setup, I doubt you will find many. I just dont understand why there is so much hate here, ironically mostly from newer members...

 

hey my post got deleted! oh well it was off topic.

Christian those of us that understand the dynamics of legal drag racing (not street racing) would see that you have a great setup for very little coin and some beautiful welds.

but my eyes bleed when some 18 year old child gets on here knowing next to nothing and is just trying to prove a point, which usually fails. What many fail to realize is that if you are in a high form of competitive drag racing the first 300 feet are the most important you have more things happening there then the last 700 (for top fuel) or 1020 (for true 1/4 mile) consequently these are the same people that don't understand how temps, humidity , wind, track prep can effect each and every pass.

 

bingo. exactly. THANK YOU! (although he's like steve's age lol)

LOL, as much for everyones benefit as mine, I was trying to 'bait' you guys,(not blanko), into a serious discussion on the differences, details of what it takes to go fast/quick in the quarter mile. I have been to the track more than once over the years, though I'm hardly good or an expert at it, (I have a good amount of road course experience on motorcycles, some karting also), I don't know if tracks from different parts of the world can be compared, much like two different dynos, don't know if Blanko's #s are realistic. For instance his claim of 374-400 rwhp, and trap speeds of 113 mph I think he said, I compare them to your rwhp of 439, (I think, CRS), trap speeds of 123-125 mph, which from experience, (I tuned a few GM cars, one was a 408 ci Camaro, manual trans,504rwhp, trapped 127-128 mph before the valve spring laid down, a Firebird, auto, 365rwhp, 125 HP shot, 10,98 @ 126), seem about right, my Tib trapped 103 mph with 260 rwhp, (DynoJet, 245 on my Mustang, the Camaro was also from the Mustang), so to me, his #s don't really add up, although I guess they could depending on if the car is gutted, full drag race suspension, etc. As I think more, fullblown, minesbetter, chaddoffl, all trapped in the 115 mph range, right? I'm not sure of the HP of them all, but from experience, (TC spent a lot of time on my dyno), I'd think they are all close to each other. I don't know if this is explained simply from a front/rear wheel drive, which I'm thinking it is, but I don't know for sure.

think about this. completely taking out fwd vs. rwd for a second. also think about powerbands, as i know you know much about them. think about how much lag there is on that turbo car. also lets think of displacement...which in turn will show there's little to no power being made in comparison until the turbo spools. so that right there is similar to comparing a roots blower to a big turbo car...the blown car will be out and the turbo car will need to hope he has enough room for his high hp car to reel in...otherwise all that hp is just for show. and the only reason i compare to a roots blower, is b/c his v8 camaro n/a makes more power than we do with our blowers, and with no lag (like a blower on a smaller displacement motor).

this is why i laugh everytime someone comes in trying to prove themselves with claiming they have high HP numbers, especially on a turboed car. what's the use of having power if you don't make it till 5500rpm, and have to shift at 6800? all that means is the car will barely be faster if a all than a stock n/a tib until that turbo spools, so it'll have even more time to try to make up. where as a blown car with less peak power...significantly less peak power could potentially run better times than a high hp turbo car. why? power band. sooner you make the power/trq regardless of how high your peak numbers are, the quicker you'll be moving down the track.

(oh, btw, i didnt trap 115. i only got a 109. i was having issues at the track and actually grenaded the gears off of my diff. on my 12.66 pass on my 2nd-3rd shift (@ 80mph)...lol. and chad and steve both have way more power than i do.)

oh, and one more thing blanco seems to forget. with the more grip you have, the lower your MPH. (for basically the same reasons as a better 60', lower MPH). he brags that he is on street tires, but what he doesn't seem to comprehend is that street tires will yield you a HIGHER MPH than it will with slicks. i usually used to see a 2-3 MPH difference. thing is, blanco seems to think the exact opposite. he believe that you GAIN MPH with slicks, which is false. it's a known FACT you lose MPH with slicks, so i just don't get how he can argue that. but w/e, not trying to start again, just showing more insite to your questions.

Seems highly plausible. It's all in the launch and a fast car won't teach the driver how to do that properly. You need some seat time to learn it, not throw on a bigger turbo to compensate.

bingo.

The fwd car will have a higher trap speed, and higher et 99% of the time.

Depending on how well each car 60's will determine the outcome. The harder you 60', you usually lose a little mph, but get there alot quicker. Every .1 shaved in 60' is worth .15-2 tenths in et reduction.

exactly. leave harder, u'll usually have a lower trap speed. look at steve's (fullblown/fstrtib) n/a times for a second. 14.2 or 14.3 at only 94 mph. usually tibs trap high 90's for those times. 97-98. steve only trapped 94 b/c he had big ol slicks that helped him leave the light with a 1.9 60'...n/a, compared to other people leaving at higher 60's to get those higher traps.

I wish I could get 60' lower than 2 seconds.

bwahahaha

 

I can take a car with the exact same hp/w, and IF I can out 60' him by .5 seconds

Seems highly plausible. It's all in the launch and a fast car won't teach the driver how to do that properly. You need some seat time to learn it, not throw on a bigger turbo to compensate.
