I'm gonna say 880-900 you don't need to much more power to go 9.80. Weight is key

 

Amazing build Chris...

Really? 99% of the threads of big horse power, never mention that...

 

Show me how many BIG HP Porsche have gone 9's and I mean 1000+HP I bet even Evoms when they went 9.6 didn't have it on Kill

 

Very nice work guys! Is this with a triple carbon clutch? Your inlets on it also?

 

Congrats.. You made it look so easy as I expected.. The right combination mixed with experience at the drag strip has proven to be lethal once again!!!! I can see some 9.4s in the winter coming..

 

It didn't look like you had any wheel hop on your burnouts... Impressive, especially since you're still on the stock suspension. What do you think it was that eliminated the hop??

 

The car has torque solution engine and transmission mounts along with all the Dogbones, Toe Links and Thrust arm dialed in correctly which helps.. The suspension is Stock Gt2 but custom valving and spring rates..

 

? I don't understand that comment. What I was trying to express is, does anyone who does drag racing really know the net gain with going lighter ?

Ie
Run full weight with 900hp

Then
Reduce weight by 400 lbs and run with 900hp.

To see how much it helps w less weight.
Typically only hear about more and more power , but not other dynamics

 

Yes the rule of thumb in most cases is 100lbs=1/10th.. Its not always the case as many other factors play a role like transmission and gearing but its a general rule of thumb..

 

Congrats...Good Job
I hope next you can get the record from EVO..

 

Incredible build and you guys are honest about it! Congratulations and I hope

you guys annihilate evoms.

You are 750 - 850 hp. That's all you need with gt2 weight, even with 75 lb xtra.

 

I ran a 5.35 60-130 with 650 whp.

Horsepower becomes a hindrance in these cars when you pass the 900 mark.

unless you're running the mile, of course

 

For 116 mph in the 1/8th and given weight, i would guess 815 whp

 

Chris said in his earlier posts that there was no weight loss...actually weight GAIN...My guess is 750whp...or maybe a little less...

Chris knows how to drive...THAT is the biggest key to this car's performance.....

 

did you or usp set up the suspension? would it be possible to replicate something close with a fully adjustable gmg setup with single rebound jrz coilovers?

i believe this is my biggest stumbling block with my car. my setup is so stiff (road race style) that im wheel hopping all over the place killing my 60 ft times
