Default Race Proven Motorsports goes 9.11@156


Car weighs 4300lbs with driver. This was on 20.5 PSI. Still have plenty left in it. Break down of the pass

60- 1.523
330-3.979
1/8-5.980
mph-123.66
1/4-9.111
mph-156.57

We made 3 other passes that day. First one spun so thats why I took power out of it on the launch. Heres break down of other passes.

9.352 at 150.08... 60 foot and 1/8 were messed up on that pass

60-1.560
330-4.010
1/8 6.025
mph-121.05
1/4-9.209
mph-153.33

We are going to make a few changes to this car in a few months and try to get well into the 8's. The converter is WAY to loose.

Great #'s it sounds like a beast// but can you tell us what converter you are using (what stall speed?) and why do u think its too loose, wouldn't you get better 60' times with a 3800 - 4000 converter that will "LOCK UP" on the top end to give you MPH

I was using a FTI 2800 on an almost stock 05 (A4) and was getting 1.6x 50 ' times.. @ 11.59 et and 118 mph...

I have a new motor (4" stroker 40" ci) and was wondering what stall speed converter I should try..

I cant use Hoosier 17" because I have to drive 100 miles each way to & from the track.. I "think" I will have to stick with MT as a happy medium.. I don't know what other size tire I should try, or what stall converter...

my dyno # are 477 rwhp & 455 Tq ...I'm hoping to be able to run this Sunday @ E Town just time trials.. I'll be using MT 305/35x18" tires..

Great car! Stopped by the shop when I was done at work and they said you were down south. Hope you brought some warm weather back up with you.
