Opinions on this please?

That would up the lag though surely die to the distance the air needed to travel? It\'s an interesting idea though, off subject Mitch running that kind of power you should really consider some wider and better (looking) wheels IMO

The V mount will increase lag vs my top mount, but I can\'t get the top mount any bigger, here is my idea of the route I am going to go down:

Fitting Hayward rotary V mount kit with Radtec rad
Mechanical PS pump is being remove for a straighter flow
Cryogenics will be used just before each run to bring core temp down
WI will bring the intake temps down further during the run
Less complicated as its just pipes with air
Cheaper - I have the V mount kit already

btw, theres a reason why I chose FD rims - you really think I need to go wider and increase wheel weight?

Yes because it looks 100x better - but if looks aren\'t your thing thats cool.

And increase in width doesn\'t nessicarily mean inclease in weight

I was looking at some Rota grid drifts, I also had some staggered OZ pegasus rims, the issue being is that to have the wider rims I would need to fit a lot of body mods to the car and the car would look more \'modified\' if that makes sense? The FD rims are 1" wider but keep the same rolling circumference so I don\'t need to faff with speedo gears etc I was looking at some 15x10 steelies but the tyre costs are quite a bit lol Its mainly the need to flair and fit kits, I hate bodykits as they usually take ages to fit properly, they will get damaged and then its the extra cost of insurance as well as the paint costs etc, plus I would have had to mod the rear arch extensions to go around the Eibo sleek spoiler.

If your car is for drag racing then lag isn\'t an issue as your at full throttle all of the time and will be launching at some where near 7,000rpm. When on the street. Ruining in the big turbos vacuum is going to give good mpg. Lmao

Thats partly why I have got a large turbo, the e-manage also allows 2 step

on the drag strip it will spool fine, on the street it will be mainly off boost, but even a tiny bit of boost will still mean quite a bit of air!

2step on a manual box?! Hope you are purchasing a ballistic blanket to catch all the shrapnel when you dump the clutch.

Do you know what they are for though?

They stop you from becoming a separate part to your legs.

Top fuel dragsters have them on the cylinder heads just incase they heads decide to part company from the block and try take a few people in the crowd with them. They absorb all of the energy so that the flying pieces just drop on the floor. Same thing as a bullet proof vest really. In drag racing you have to have these or a scatter shield around your gear box.

Safety first

Soon as my engine needs a rebuild rest assured I will getting it ported

Not that I want my engine to let go, just saying if and when

Edit - Grant I didnt know that, think it was just the word ballistic. Learn something new every day :p

m1tch · October 31, 2011, 08:01:28 PM

Same with supercharger straps, keeps all the shiny heavy bits on the engine if the parts decide they don\'t like each other at some point

I am here to teach

Racing beat wont guarantee their products against serious injury or death if you don\'t install a ballistic blanket/shield when revving up to and beyond 10,000 rpm.
