That thing sounds so angry and aggressive like it's itching for a fight....

 

Odd. Pretty much all my lope went away when I got the tune dialed in.

 

Which is good but bad... lol

 

Its with in 1-2% here.

 

its the lsa on the gmr cams they are on a 109

 

So after a few issues that lead to the engine comming back apart.
Its all back together and running. Put about 240 miles on it over the weekend. Took a lil to burn all the oil out of the exhaust that was in there. Anyway haven't been able to get a good pull out of the car yet. Still playing with the offset tables. Made huge improvement last night. Got it to rev even faster than the video I posted. All in all I'm very impressed with FIC. Made me a believer.

 

you get the 1200s?

 

Nope I have the FIC 2000s.
The 1200s r very nice just not enough for my build.
The way I see it is the 1200s r a must Have for mild tvs builds.
Other wise be a man and get the 2000s.
I'm very amazed with them.
For anyone that needs more than the 1200s I recomend the 2000s. Car runs better than on 80s. I'm sure alan or Steve can get them working even better.

 

Engine came back apart? What happened?

 

Silly boy didn't check his clearances

 

Wat the problem was. Was wiseco changed my piston design and didnt change the ring spec sheet. Problem is resolved now.
Drove the car today. 3rd gear is definitly useless now lol

 

Time to buy some real tires

 

That's with my street slicks.

 

I'm a bit late to the party, but that sounds ******* beautiful.

 

This.

 

Comment thief.

lol

 

Then you need some suspension work, because there is no reason you should have to be pissing with traction issues in 3rd, especially on the conservative tune you are on IIRC.

 

I'm on H&R springs, zzp chromaly control arms, ottp s2 rotated mounts, lnf struts

 

indeed

engine mounts have no effect on suspension
you can throw all the parts you want at it you need to set the suspension up for its intended use. the springs you are running are more for looks then anything the zzp control arms are no better then stock lnf struts work for curves the car actualy needs to be raised up and the car setup for less weight transfer with a better spring rate and shock package to keep the front end planted

you can put thousands of dollars in the suspension but of you don't set it up for the intended usage those parts are no good

 

Comming from ppl that never built something like this. With the 2.4 pulley on the tvs i see over 24 psi before 3000 rpm. But thanks
And TC shocks and struts r better than the SCs all around.
I'm putting TC springs on this weekend till I get a set of YYZ.
Anything eles cuz I know it will do it again.

 

From what I have read the H&R's sag and loose spring rate over time and the Zzp control arms no one really like d and went back to stock. Were mostly a looks thing.

Coilovers would be good to adjust height and get the axles level and adjust rebound, but that's a lot of coin. Different springs, playing with the air pressure in the street slicks and rolling into the throttle quickly instead of mashing it will probably help you.

Spinning ain't winning!!

 

Most don't like the zzp control arm cuz it makes the car ride shity

 

I am not saying anything negative at all. I understand the car hits hard and the torque comes alive quickly. I'm just trying to help you get more traction. What street slicks are you running? I have yet to put my ZZP LCA's in, but I have pedders coilovers set pretty stiff (much stiffer than any spring I've felt, especially in the rear, but still confortable "for me" ) and the front is lower then the rear. 17x9" wheels with 245/40 R888 R compounds on the car. 2nd spins but still pulls forward hard, and 3rd hooks no matter what at around 520whp. Should be turning it up tonight a bit more now that my new pump is in, so I will see how well 3rd holds, but the temp is actually getting warm outside so I shouldn't have much issue.

 

no one is or has slammed you just stating facts do you think the fastest drag cars just threw parts underneath not meant for what they were doing and said that will be good enough if they did they would not be at the top of the game you have springs for looks unproven a-arms and shocks meant for a different ride height and spring rate and curves when you should have shocks to slow weight transfer springs to help slow down weight transfer and probably bags in the rear to limit how far it dose transfer and as for tires not some drag radial but a good set of slicks

 

Mr. B, gotta remember the key is finding a good balance for every day street drivability. Slicks and bags/footballs are a must for the track, but not so practical on the street. The setup I listed above changes at the track.
