Diesel Drags in Palmdale????????

Bananna Fruit Goodrich

'Nuff said!



BF Goodrich = no traction.



Time for slicks.



They actually have a grease zerk on the sidewall!



These tires are great if your worried about breaking parts

Don't spare the details

Well you can atleast tell us what you ran and how the Twins held up and performed. You didn't mention what tires you had earlier, I could have told you the BFGs were kinda shady, some sets good some sets bad. I have some Firestone SS20s on my car now and they seem to be good, haven't taken them to the track yet. The BFG drag radial is a good tire also, its no slick but its better than a radial. I hate changing tires at the track so I have been through alot of street legal tires. They all suck compared to slicks.

Traction???

I gotta have some slicks!!!



My poor driving skills are second only to my ability to give birth : D



I was leaving very late and not going to full throttle for seemingly an eternity.



I only did three runs, first time I forgot to click the fuel box on. Second time I didn't have any overdrive. Third time I had everything

working and did manage a good mile an hour at around 105 without propane. I still need to figure out my air cleaner config and then

add the propane.

I was down about one hundred horsepower without the LPG. I'll tell you one thing, thank heavens for horsepower! I was leaving on

the green and tip toeing off the line (trying not to spin the tires), so I had to drive around the dodge and the chevy I raced. The funny car

got me I have to confess : )



Just the day prior to the race I was busy reconfiguring one of the cold air pipes and trying to fix my clamps and hoses to keep them from

spitting off when I hammer the throttle. Well I'm happy to report that when I left the welding shop headed for Palmdale I stabbed the

throttle and saw 53 psi! No blown hoses either!!! At the track Saturday I was further pleased with the turbo performance. I hit 60 psi

on the last run! That was the only good run I had btw. I expect I'll be at 65 psi with the propane operable and that covers my best

scenario goal as far as peak boost goes. There isn't a (single) turbo out there that can run those numbers and last. With these twins I

am getting cooler air while only driving the turbos at a moderate pace and maintaining wonderful drivability to boot.



Time to address the suspension! : )

Heck nowel,why not go for broke and try a third turbo?? maybe you could hit 80 lbs,and 800 hp that would be fun!! o yea forgot about traction maybe a 4 link with coil overs and a big wing enough fun for now keep up the good work!!

Four LInk

How bout this-

#ad


I'm considering a four link setup.

 

[Gary C]

Wow, that is the number.

 

[catoiler]

Nowel, with that set up you would need a bigger compressor bet that thing rides good!all you would need next is bags for the front and down in the weeds!!

Four Link

That setup would normally require an onboard compressor. Not for me thought. I might consider a set of coil over shocks instead.

 

[catoiler]

Bring it back up!

OK lets not forget about this event!!
