Double post

NASA is shut down right now. So they are waiting.

Oh man, no insurance!!! That sucks, I was running the dyno all day. When Corey took over I was getting ready to leave when that happened. Thank god no one was standing out there.

Gonna need cams and a bigger turbo and 26" tires. Hahaha

How fast can you go in 4th if you would rev it to 7000?

 

When I had my RA gearset I would run 4th off the limiter and come through the traps at 112. But I was making less HP and TQ than you.

Can we just sum this up and move on? I know I'm just adding fuel to the fire but here's what I've gathered.

 

1) Thorne and Liftedram98 doin't like each other

2) Thorne says x dyno reads high with "proof", yet he's ever used it

3) Thorne doesn't really tune the Subarus only GM's, Eric H does and that's why they had problems

4) Liftedram98 does not tune cars

5) Wiggs Lambo will probably never run again

 

 

Neither side of the argument is helping our local shops.

Also based on your compared dynos eather your car is sick or the load isn't turned up high enough to spool your turbo. Really not a good comparison.

 

 

Again I wasn't ragging on a shop I just stating my observations about your dyno.

 

I just posted results on my own car. Back to back dynos with no changes in the tune. I can only come with math and science here. I'm not nearly as good as having "a bag of tricks" or posting some BS results from cars that I don't even own.

 

Why don't you take your 6 figures and build something fast? When you do I'll slap your hands and give you credit, if not, I'll turn around and say forget it.

My dyno a couple of weeks later at Slomo

 

 

 

 

 

 

What did your car make on each one Thorne?

 

FWIW My car trapped at 118 at that power level.

SWEET! I'm not going to be able to make it on such short notice though.

 

Do they have any other similar events at Mid-Ohio this year?

I've always tune mine on winter blend, as close to 70% as I can get. I figure the slight change in A/F isn't much of a problem. I run a richer A/F on e70 anyways.

 

There are plenty of ways to make the provision in the tune handle the slight change in the blends. I run a standalone (AEM) which helps. But there are other ways as well.

You know what the real bummer is. I bet the RWD conversion costs money!

Kroger on Sunbury and 161 tests right at 85%

For the relatively nominal power gain at the wheels? I don't remember the exact #s but from memory Wiggs' car went from high 500s (58x?) AWD to low 600s (62x?) RWD.

Does it actually increase the 60-130 or 1/4 mile times? Or is it just a different reading on the dyno?

When did this car start it's "official" build? One time I got screwed over waiting for machine work and it took over 6 months to get my car running. That was a LOOOOONNNNNG wait!

How did the Da Vue go at tx2k13??

I read the first 2 pages then skipped here to the end.

 

Anyone beat this wicked fast lambo yet?

Yeah, I got your PM. I've been 10's in mine with stock WRX axles. But I was running crappy Continental tires. Most of the time I would just turn down the boost and putt down the track running low 11's.

 

Eric's car has all the power that it takes to run 10's. I was just saying it's VERY tough to put together a 10 second pass.

Rear axles are a problem if you run drag radials. If you don't run drag radials it's hard to get a 10 second pass because it binds up when the tires spin and it's hard to grab the gears.

How bout' them AXLES!!! ROFL, it takes a big set of balls to beat your car into a 10 sec pass.

Haha nice!

 

Just picked the car up. It drives straight, the spoke angle is dead on, no extra miles on the car!!! Nice job Bee Line!

1st impression on Bee Line was not the best. I had to explain and show them that my Mustang does in fact have IRS and not a solid axle. But we will see how the finished product is!

Andy at Derek's NTB has done my vehicles and they have all been great. He even got my Damn cummins truck right so +1 for Derek's crew.

 

Also Beeline does a good job if you have all day to wait.

 

 

Where is Derek's NTB? I'm in need of an alignment for the Cobra.

 

EDIT - Nevermind, I just called Bee Line and they have an opening for today.

 

Thanks!
