That is the 10 second ranger that rolled when we were there.
CobaltVenomSS 04-03-2008, 05:20 PM that ram hauls ass!!!.......both SS/SC sounded good and ran good
SSCobalt~SSZ24 04-03-2008, 05:21 PM nice man!
BriantheLion26 04-03-2008, 05:24 PM that ram hauls ass!!!.......both SS/SC sounded good and ran good
Yes, last time he went up with me, the ram that is, he has a PB of 13.89 and my PB was 13.86. We were dead even. He would just destroy me out of the hole and I would catch him top end. With his new turbo and meth kit he just owned me. 12.99 is awesome for a 6-speed truck. He was launching in 2nd in 4hi and would get into 6th by the 1/4.
nice man!
Thanks! Credit goes to my friend, hes the computer wize that threw it together, I just watched. :cool:
R&C_rallySS 04-03-2008, 05:24 PM Way to rep PA members. Nice vid. If that would of been a different track you could of expected .2 better times easy.
BriantheLion26 04-03-2008, 05:26 PM Thats my boyz! Nice vid man!
Thanks. That ranger wreck was nuts. If you go to www.beaversprings.com and scroll down there is a pic of it. Looks like nothing really happened to it besides the windshield coming out. Hes lucky, it could have been worse. He almost took out the other truck.
ralliartist 04-03-2008, 05:28 PM Cool vid. The way that truck took off on that 13.1 sec pass is the way you guys should have been launching the whole time. Looks like you 2 had a hard time breaking 13's.
interesting how you guys didn't get the 13sec runs on vid also.

It looked like Roadrage was hooking pretty good but did not have the top end like yours. Must be that downpipe, made a nice difference when I put mine on.

Yeah I keep hearing that every week. :lol: I will run at Cecil, eventually, to see what the car can really do.

Our camera wouldn't work the rest of the day, sucked ass. It said the head got dirty. Look at the Ranger video. During his burnout the camera started bitching. We missed the truck beating a z06 and his best time of 12.99. We missed all of our best times. :bye:

Yeah I did pull a 2.2 before we left. I didn't get under 2.3 yet I still ran my best time. I was hoping to get under 9.0 in the 1/8th but I only ran a 9.1. I just can't believe mine had that much more of a top end than his. 2 mph at the 1/8th, 3-4 mph at the 1/4.
Should comment on the video, the first couple runs, me vs the mr2 and srt4, were not this past weekend we went. That was last season. We just compiled all of them into on video.
About not getting 13s, I only ran in the 13s twice that day, my 13.7 and a 13.9. Roadrage only ran in the 13s once with this PB of 13.9.
Dayta 04-03-2008, 06:09 PM that truck is insane
BriantheLion26 04-03-2008, 06:41 PM that truck is insane
Haha, yeah, its nuts to say the least. Still amazes me how a 7400 lb truck can run a 12.99 at 106. 6-speed at that.
Bump for some vids
roadrage06 04-03-2008, 07:51 PM Awesome, first video of me online. Hopefully there will be more this summer. After that time at the track i know what my next mods are. You kicked my ass the second half of the track.

:) I always told people, my cars a 2nd 1/8th car, not 1/8th.
I was gonna run you on the highway going up but 1. We didn't need a ticket, and 2. you had a passenger so it wasn't really fair.
I want to know what made mine pull harder top end. Its either the DP or heat exchanger. Lets put both on yours! :guns:
BriantheLion26 04-04-2008, 01:50 PM Anyone else make it to the track this season yet? If so how did you make out?
OzzyruleZ 04-04-2008, 02:57 PM Nice runs man, Beaver is way different looking now than I remember but then again its been like 15 years since I've been there. I'm hoping to go up that way this year sometime. I would love to take the Balt there and see how it compares to Gainesville Raceway.
ralliartist 04-04-2008, 03:51 PM Anyone else make it to the track this season yet? If so how did you make out?
I don't remember if you saw my thread or not a couple weeks back, but I made it to KCIR earlier.
Shakedown pass resulted in:
2.0 60ft.
8.8@80mph 1/8th mile
13.6@100mph 1/4 mile
Those were all best e.t.s, my best mph is 101 from last year though. But that run was a shakedown pass, after that I broke the linkage roll pin. So no other runs were made.
I'm going to the 1/8th mile by my house tonight though. Looking for 8.5@81/82mph.

Yeah I am hoping to get to a different track as well to see how different they are. You used to be from around here? Where at?

Those are some awesome times, especially for the stock pulley. Guess it shows how much traction + a awesome tune makes. Well done. :twothumbs

I used to live in Shermans Dale. Moved to Florida when I was 11, I come up to visit family in Carlisle every once in a while. I'm hoping to get up there this year.

You know what, you told me that before. I live almost in Shermans Dale. On Roseglen, off of 274, right by 34. I am sure you know where I mean. Well I'm sure it is a lot different climate down there than up here. :lol:

The humidity blows down here right now. Last time I went to the track I could barely trap 100mph. I think my plugs had a little to do with it too, I got new plugs now I just need some good dry air....

Come on up! I'll go with ya haha. Yeah I'm sure the heat is bad down there. I like living up here, out in the country, its nice.
OzzyruleZ 04-04-2008, 07:15 PM I'm hoping to get up there this year. Probably June or July, I hope the car runs better up there than down here. I'm also hoping to go visit a friend in Ft. Worth, TX. I plan on hitting a track in that area as well. With the mods I have I'm sure it can do better than 13.81 @ 103mph. I want to know if its just Florida.

Yeah you should be. I would love to get a custom tune but 1. I don't know anyone who could and 2. I don't have a wideband so we couldn't mess with fuel safely.
INDColtsFan18 04-04-2008, 09:46 PM very niuce runs, the ranger scares me :D

Thanks! That ranger was nasty. Sucks he lost and wrecked it. They said he would be ready within a week for points, so it wasn't nothing major, luckily. It could have been much worse.

I got mine done on a dyno around here. The guy says he tuned it safe. I'm starting to think he tuned it a little to safe. I'm thinking about getting one of the guys around here with HPT to make it a little more aggressive.

I would love a more aggressive tune. I would like it leaned out a little bit and remove that stupid ass torque management.

You know, I honestly don't know what all was changed in mine. I'm not even sure if torque management is removed on mine...

You got an '07, they don't have it. ;) From what I have read the '07s got the best tune out of 05-07.

Hey, alright. Thats good to know. I'm hoping to find a Cobra heat exchanger, and pick up a dual pass. We data logged mine last weekend and the IAT2 temps at the top of 3rd were in the 150's. I'd like to see those a bit lower.

Yeah that seems pretty warm. I got one on mine, wasn't the easiest to install but its on there. Looks awesome I think. I didn't put a grill or anything in front of it. I had the scanner on mine and my IAT2s were around 100 at the top of 2nd and some of 3rd, but it was pretty cold out.
2K5SS/SC? 04-05-2008, 04:59 PM Nice runs. I bet the MR2 supercharged could launch way better and knock some serious time off his runs though. The dodge was hauling ass too! Very good videos non-the-less. :twothumbs

Thanks man! Just pisses me off I didn't get to get everyone's best time. I thought the MR2 would have been faster, so did the owner. He also had a '05 Spec-v with an intake and full header back exhaust. He thought the mr2 was faster so he brought it. Turns out my other buddy had an older spec-v, the blueish one, and he beat the mr2. I don't think the mr2 got under a 2.2 60' to be honest.
Yes, that Dodge is nuts. He said he was nervous all the way home after using so much meth. He thought he broke something. He said he won't be beating on it that hard for a log time. He wanted 12s, he got um, hes done.
2K5SS/SC? 04-08-2008, 06:27 AM My buddy had a MR2 Supercharged like that, and with just some regular chapo nitto 450's he used to pull some crazy 60' times. I don't think he had anything less than a 1.9 if I remember correctly. THe way the MR2's drivetrain layout is, I be he could launch a lot higher than he was to shoot him out of the hole without spinning.
Definitely a great video though for sure! :twothumbs

Thanks. He had Toyo T1R tires on it I believe. I think he said they were pretty worn though. He was going to put the fronts on the back but they aren't as wide. I think the front has 205s and the rear is 215 if i remember correctly. He wants to put a bigger crank pulley on it, you can't put a smaller SC pulley on them because it has a clutch mechanism on it. He wants to do a little work to it to get a little more boost out of it. It is a neat looking car for the age of it. I just thought it would have been a little faster than it was.
roadrage06 04-08-2008, 02:22 PM by the end of this month I'm getting that ZZP midlength header/dp combo. Then after that, h/e and dual pass.......then, finally traction mods, then clutch/flywheel.
^^this is my biggest problem right here, trying to decide which mod should precede the other. I figure I'll make the power first, wait for the traction and just deal with it in the mean time.

Nice. Let me know once you get that header and DP on, I want to see how your top end changes. You get that and the h/e you should have some decent gains on the top end side.
black06ss 04-08-2008, 05:57 PM watch when i get home.
BriantheLion26 04-08-2008, 06:27 PM watch when i get home.
OK. It isn't that long. Nothing amazing, just something we threw together. My buddy did all the editing, i just sat back and watched. :cool:
When you watch it, the first couple races, on the 4:3 ratio, is from last season. Once it gets widescreen that was the last time we were there, like 2 weeks ago. We didn't get the best runs on because the camera bitches out, if you didn't read the above posts. The quality isn't the best either, obviously, youtube sucks for quality.
BriantheLion26 04-09-2008, 12:24 PM http://www.beaversprings.com/100mphclub.html
On their 100 mph club it lists another '05 Cobalt SS. I was just wondering if it was anyone on here.
