Hi Everyone,
Anthony's car is finally street tuned. All the problems sorted out.... at last PHEWWW...
The results are somewhat scary... speaking from personal experience when Anthony took me for a lap around the block.
Running 6lb boost the car produced 450+ RWHP with wheelspin (on a Gtech meter, not a chassis dyno), so there's more there and its probably closer to 500HP. The intercooler is increadably efficent. At an ambient temp on a hot day of 34 degrees the air intake temp reported on the Wolf 3D was only 30 degrees.
So... The lap around the block went something like this. I first asked Anthony to take it easy. Then...
1st gear... vibration and a roar as the rear end breaks loose instantly. 2nd gear at 4000 RPM and more wheel spin thru 6000 RPM, 3rd gear still wheel spin to about 6000 again. Part way thru 2nd the car felt like it just started floating about a 1/2 foot in the air, as it began to fishtail left and right. That was the end of the first street. Left hand turn to lyons street, and then the same thing again... The diff gears are 3.???? something, so the rear wheels are doing close on 180 in 3rd at 6500 RPM
After doing a u-turn around a round-a-bout Anthony comes to a stop. There was not another car on the road. He hits first, 2nd and then 3rd with a foot on the brakes. revs around 6000 RPM. The car starts squirming forward and crab walking into the lane of the oncoming traffic just as a car rounds the corner... They pull off the road and start cheering just as the car starts filling with tyre smoke. As I said.. Its pretty scary.
With a set of slicks it will do 11's at a guess, and its definatly going to be breaking the 10 second mark once the new fuel rails are in and the boost is wound up.
So enter saturday night and the car is entered in the burnout comp. Shame it didn't win. My opinion is that the reason the judges didn't award a placing was that for after the first 4-5 seconds of the burnout, the car just isn't visable!
The car that won was a centura that has a NA 1uzfe engine.
A local camera crewman from channel 9 wanted to ride shotgun during the first burnout. Aparently thinking it was going to be able to be aired on the local news, but after about 5 seconds of the burnout, Anthony says he says shouting STOP! LET ME OUT! Most likely as the car started filling with smoke, and the 7000 RPM burnout in 4th gear kicked on..... losing sight of everything. It is one hell of a violent ride!
Last of all and what you'd been waiting for.... I've got the lot on video, so look in the VIDS page for a complete listing of all the vids.
PS: Anthony if you read this, i'll have a copy of all the fottage on DVD for you in a few days.
Enjoy
