MrMeanGreen Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 He has the tires and my rims in his garage, that's why BTW, I just got off the phone with another regional supervisor for work. I may be having to work over through Saturday, so stay tuned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolrayz Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I just got to watch the video. Nice! Anybody that thinks I wasnt on it at the start needs to watch my brake lights. I am brake stalling the converter from a roll trying to take the lag out. When I first started logging my rolls I had .4 of a second lag for the converter to flash. I have since gotten it down to .2 With a big stall you can brake stall the converter just like at the track. Im running about 30% tps dragging the brakes. and I floor it before lifting off of the brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I lay into it on the 2nd honk during a roll race. By the 3rd honk, it's flashed and so on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Nice race, even if it wasn't the best video. It actually looked like Ray won considering he hit the brakes first. Nothing like a good close race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I don't use checks, they suck. I'll find you. No, the car starts accelerating by the 3rd honk, unlike Linn where it's already gone by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLN SUX Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 So why not just put the auto in the gear you want? Is there somehting in the 4L80E (i think thats the tranny) that doesnt allow that? Makes things way easier for me... i just drop it into 3rd and boom, im right at the rpm i want and the speed i want... then i just shift it when ever.

MrMeanGreen Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Because it sucks. It makes the car hit that much harder when the converter flashes and the car goes everywhere but straight. See my videos against Tilley's Cobra for examples of why I don't do that anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the idea of a race was to rev as quick as you could... if it breaks the tires loose, figure out a way to get them to hook... or adjust your pedal foot... but dont give up reaction time :bs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 No, trying to steer with the drive wheels is that much worse. At least I can correct the car's angle of approach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam1647545489 Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 It would be nice to see a rematch. Brian there will be many races between Ray and myself. We still got our motor to motor race and our dig race at a track as well. I just wanna get some new car in the mix first since it fun racing more people instead of the same person over and over...

Ray was just flashing his convertor, it might look like he was sleeping but trust me he was right next to me on the take off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm like 3 months late to the party. This summer was pretty bad... hopefully we can still save it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 thats one reason i dont like too roll race my car. my 4800 stall flashs just a tade over 5000 from a roll, and all it did was fry the tires. but this time around, with the 3.55 gears it will be a different story. but my torque curve is just too unreal. damn big blocks with high compression.

Vander Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Nice race, even if it wasn't the best video. It actually looked like Ray won considering he hit the brakes first. Nothing like a good close race Sam brake light's actually turned on first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolrayz Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 there is no downshift in my launch just the converter stall, I am already in second. Just to give you an idea my converter stalls to over 4800 on the transbrake at the track. I tune the nitrous progression untill I can barely see a traction loss on the logs. Its nothing that you can feel in the car, these things pull like a freight train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
