thorne Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Would you make a glory pass if you knew you were getting allot closer to INSERT MAJORPARTNAME HERE's limits? We all know those iffy points. For example I know my transmission is not really good past 400 and thats possibly pushing it depending how driven.

Fubar231 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I think he just wants to make some passes on the new motor/build before the trans goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 No, Thorne. And for the record, there isn't much glory in a 12 second pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main3s Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I've heard your car always runs the strongest right before it breaks... So yeah, if you know it's comming and are ready to deal with it, why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRed05 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 No. If you know the weakpoint, fix it before it breaks. It might cause a chain reaction, maybe not so much in your case but you never know. Trans failure--over rev--explode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boosted98gst Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Fuck it, the worst case you buy another 3-4k tranny that can take the abuse, fuck stock shit for racing. If your not breaking stock trannys just from a gear pull then your turbo is too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 No, Thorne. And for the record, there isn't much glory in a 12 second pass. It was for me.. but I did it in a Lumina . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay1647545503 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Could be an expensive track cleaning depending on what actually breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FyrhzrdGT Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I don't hold back, but I wouldn't knowingly break my car if that makes sense. I can't afford to just break shit right now cause I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted February 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 No, Thorne. And for the record, there isn't much glory in a 12 second pass. Umm I ran 12.3 last year and with a harder launch I could have got a 11.9x, I'm expecting 11.xx on the new setup but I think I would have to shift to fifth and I don't want to. It was more of a in general question. A few of my buddys were all talking about there various "Break" points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a true story, We just had a customer whos turbo blew and the bearings from his turbo fucked his motor. Chunky Chunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
