Pretty close on your math in stages I think, your just missing 1 BIG part I have that makes a huge power difference.....Ice Box with aux. heat exchanger!!!! I think it can be worth at least 30rwhp and upwards of 50rwhp in some conditions. My iat's are usually near ambiant before a run and do not gain that much from a pass. We ran 3 dyno pulls back to back to back and the reservoir still had some ice floating around and the fluid was still cold
Here is what my friend sent me today that took the other videos."should be sending the vhs to someone tomorrow via usps priority. so maybe by the begining of next week i'll have some pretty sick vids up" I think it's pretty funny when someone breaks new ground that was once thought impossible and people try to pick it apart and discredit it anyway they can. I have heard everything from wasnt good enuf video to tell for sure to I was spraying nitrous that pass!!!!! Plain and simple the car is making awesome power for the mods it has which has taken alot of time and trouble to find the right combination to make it all work. Thats why the one video I posted I kept my "southern accent" girlfriends voice saying the time when it came up on the timing clock!!! I thought this was good enough, but obviously not for some
As soon as he gets the vids uploaded or posted I will put them here just like I said I would. I am going back to the track on the 22nd though, so the 11.05 @124.9 shouldnt stand long if everything goes right and we get a little DA love from mother nature

However, as mentioned above, I believe the custom tuning of these cars is the magical ingredient that a lot of people overlook. Looks like you put that together with one helluva built car. Gotta luv those silverbullet 03's!! Keep up the great driving and don't let the few naysayers get you down (or make you "laugh").

You should get 10's on the 22nd. Good luck

Very impressive pass, 10's are sooooo close!
5/100ths...all you need a an extra 3mph tailwind and you are in the 10's

congratulations on your success so far - your thorough and analytical approach has rewarded you well. I am sure that you have more lurking in that beast of yours. Wishing you well for the 22nd.

for those that are tracking the GTR it just cracked into the 10s the weekend. Modded of course. How does that car do a 0-60 in 3.2 with a 1.8x 60-foot?

my bad someone said something about a 1.8 60' and something about an awd car not trapping very high. he may have meant that one specific but i took it generally. i also put the wrong video in the last post. watch this one but look closely at his 60'. the gtr that is being discussed could possibly be making a boat load of power and once you put it to the ground even with a 1.8 60' you could still have a really good et.

that's was basically my point as well. the mph seems to indicate it would have to be making some serious power on the back end to make up for such a poor launch. imho, it's all meaningless anyways since the poster doesn't even have any proof of the run.

Agreed the lower short time is evident on said trucks ie 1.50's vs the supposed GTR in question
