I did a 5.35 60-130 with my last setup and it did 5.5s back to back.

That's quicker then a base Veyron but not the super sport version.

Chances are I'm not gonna run across one on the interstate lol.

 

I'm running the 997 gt2 main shaft. It's 50% stronger than the 996 turbo.

I should be around 900 crank. I intentionally targeted that hp range. I opted

for weight savings to create relative power. The relative power of the car

will be a hair over 1000 hp but the physical stress will be around 900 crank.


There's gotta be a better solution than all or nothing Steve! The factory

axle's gonna go with a hard launch. I need to find out if the cms side billet

plate and 997 gt2 drive shaft will handle the pressure. My guess is, it will.

1st, 2nd and 3rd gt2 gears lined up against the stock gears were a huge

difference and the drive shaft is the strongest Porsche has ever made for

a street vehicle. and it is expensive lol

 

if the trans is built then the axles upgrade is in order. its a game of cat and moue were the weak link will pop up

 

With the erp clutch, 997 gt2 mainshaft and big axle, I should be ok at

900 hp......??? What do you think?

I wanna get a 9 second 1/4 mile but after that, I'm not gonna be dropping

the clutch. I've rolled my window down at many a red light and told the

guy, " let's hit it from a 30 roll." Our cars are inherently road race vehicles

they're not drag race vehicles. However, I do see the 997.1 hitting the 8s

in the very near future

 

build it strong build it right and the porsche will drag with the best of them.

roll races are for those that either cant drive a stick at the track or are afraid of breaking parts. doesnt matter what model porsche parts break. remember pintos werent made for drag racing but they do quite well when built right!

check into the magnus racing slave assit . i sent you the info. no worries after that

 

That looks very nice!

 

Congrats on the build it looks really good and you have some really nice parts going in.
Who is tuning the ProEfi?

 

Let me know when, maybe I can make it up there.

 

Good point but it doesn't cost 60k to get most cars into the 9s

 

That your correct. The Slave assist is going in my car mid week and he will have a complete prefaced kit for the Porsche.

Going to save a lot of Axels and a lot of tranys

 

Thanks! I'll post up more pics when Fred finishes. He's a real

artist and I'm very fortunate to have him doing the work. I've learned

a lot about the cars through him and I've had the pleasure of assisting

him a couple times. We wired up all the sensors for the ProEfi and he's

so damn meticulous! He built a bracket for the fuel lab fpr and positioned it

so he could have easy access. He tapped the IPD plenum for the boost

sensor and mounted the solenoid. There's nothing just hanging loose. He

hasn't tried to make things fit out of convenience and he doesn't "short cut"

anything.

 

Thanks! I'll never rag on another guy for having his car in the shop for

an extended period lol! Half this car is custom and that stuff takes time



Jason from ProEfi suggested a young man who tuned some record breaking

cars including Powells car. Fred spoke with him and suggested that I just

let him tune the car. I guess Fred will be tuning and we'll consult with

Jason at ProEfi. Fred feels confident he can do it and according to Jason,

the base tune puts you 80% there.

 

Looking forward to results soon then from you.


Custom oh man there is that word again! LOL

 

I'll know by the end of the week. Rick and I have some work to knock out

but we can go beat up on the Italian boys with the Shelby in the evening.

I'll fly you up on business bro no worries. I've had that Shelby sideways

coming off 15 at the Sahara blvd exit! That car is so easy to drive and

you can jam gears without breaking anything.

 

lol it's a highly overrated word. It means, expensive and timely!

We're hoping to be in the mid 4s 60-130 maybe high 4s. And with

the traction control / staged boost, 9.9s 1/4 mile or at least see a flat

10. I think the 3.8 liter is gonna come in handy with the low and mid

range torque. Theoretically able to run a little less boost off the line

and maybe a more controlled power delivery.


I'm guessing there's not a lot of ProEfi, E85 with tial 3073s running around.

It sure sounds good on paper but the tale of the tape with be the pbox and

the drag strip!
