From the guy who may have built and/or tuned more 4G63's than anyone on CR....
Boosted LS based truck motor is best. Yes, the 4G63 would be the cheapest factory boosted motor, but who cares since that seems to be the least of your worries
ECTA events are already much more of an tight pants party than all of the 1/2 mile wanna-go-fast and Texas mile events. One glory pass sounds like a fun idea, but in reality it would be a monumental waste of time.
Are they going to loosen up the rules any for the 1/2 mile?
In 2006, no Import had run 200 in the Texas mile. Tommy Bahn and I were the 2 that planned on going that had a shot. I wrecked 2 weeks before in testing, he ended up going 201.
Live and learn.
No I'd try and build something with an actual dampener-think glorified hood strut.
That's a great point!! Never considered that.
This is low on the LONG list of things I need to fix on the car. Likely wont be until mid summer until I can dick with building this, but next time its on the dyno I will try for a mid engine shot to get a better idea of how much its moving.
Mailing it would not be an option for me. I would
A) Have it notarized by a buddy, sign it, move on
B) Fly out, fly back, free Vaca.
Too much room for this to be fucked up.
Its hard since I don't have a base of comparison. One issue though-if there is enough motor movement it could effect high RPM shifting-big issue with the FWD stuff. Not sure if it would be an issue here.
This is the turbo view of the TT FC dyno-car has poly engine and trans mounts. I am thinking of making a trq dampener for it after seeing this video. Do you guys think this is too much or an acceptable amount of engine movement?
I am assuming you work for boost mobile? What is the benefit besides the coupon?
So, it looks like T-Mobile >Sprint is a general consensus? I may just suck it up, and just fire up the old LLC and write it all off.
