hahahahahahahahahhahahhahahaahaha. i knew it! i have heard of said turbo swap for quite some time. better yet, cant wait to see the day it happens. it wont be this year or the next one i bet. hahahahaha the truck will be the focus i am sure. hahahaha all you need to do jon is make it hook up. then start making it faster. big wide sticky tires, and a much better suspension is all you need and that truck will go.

 

The suspension is fine, wide tires? Its jot a drag rig ET streets or some nitto 555's will work

na you need a better suspension, you need to get your whole center of gravity lower. then stiffen the rear and raise the front ( little bit) for less weight transfer upon acceleration. essentially you want it at a level pitch. as for tire size i would run a min of 295's in the rear, if not 315's all day long. you can run ET's or 555's depending how sticky you want. i would go with like the 555R.

 

You'll want to keep the rear soft to allow weight transfer in a RWD platform. And a NT555R or R888 like I have are great for the street while still maintaining streetability for different weather conditions (Not snow of course lol).

 

The rear is too stiff as it is. You don't need to raise the front end like a 60's car. Lowering it would solve some of the handling and body roll but not traction. If I wanted traction, id just drop a 3/4 inch plate steel in the back for weight and go

 

Just posted some videos in the War Stories section Better go check em out!

 

honestly sam is getting better times with a stiffer rear to his car then he got with a softer rear boys. i think there comes a certain amount of torque that it will sink the rear end into the ground no mater how stiff it is with sticky tires. thus with a stiffer rear it will hold it into a good range when launching. where as a softer rear will go to far and over rotate in the weight transfer.

i actually think the steel plate is a good idea jon.

you do as you want its obvious to me you wont listen to me. when you come back to me and say i am still roasting my tires then maybe you will.

 

Lol I don't think ill ever say that mark

 

throw a 4 link in it!!

 

it's not a drag rig lol

Plus my truck and sammi's car are 2 completley different things as far a weight distribution goes. His is a drag car and mines a street truck. His has a lower center of gravity and a better weight distribution than my truck. He has more weight over the rear than my truck..... and so on and so forth

 

My damage!!! Brand new intercooler

 

Mark you still wanna get into trouble tonight?

 

Holy ****! Thats a bad hit you took

 

Yup I don't think I could make it in there even if I was going 1km it's so bad he should have told me to park on the road

 

Once again Mark we went out you weren't there.... By the way I raced Sean on my garbage 89 tune

 

all you have shown me is you know nothing about suspension set ups. all rear drive is the same and all front drive is the same. I personally know and have worked on a lot faster trucks/cars then yours. they all have a very similar setup and stance.

for the final time jon Sammy's car is not a drag car it is a street setup. there is no roll cage. i don't base my suggestion just on his car as i know many more that are under 10 seconds, including a truck that is much larger and faster then you. you are just to stubborn and not open to suggestion to what it will take to plant your rear tires. because you think you know everything there is to know. when really you don't. you have also took what I said out of context and have some wild imagination to what I mean.

 

You can call me ignorant and stubborn all you want but it doesn't change the fact that rwd setups are fundamentally the same but trucks and cars react differently as well as every car reacts differently to weight transfer and traction. Not everyone will have the same problem.

I haven't worked on Kevin's car either

I am open to suggestions but I figure most of the stuff out on my own and do what I think is right for my vehicle. If that costs me more money than doing it the same way as someone else suggests then that's what I'll do.

I never claim to know everything, people just assume I do since I do know what I'm talking about 95.98% of the time

 

no my EPENIS is bigger!! :P

 

Prove it!! hahaha

 

I've looked up some options for Jon's truck a 4 link would have to be totally custom so I looked into Jon's other plan and I think it's the best option other than frame mods and prob a fuel cell

 

dont tempt me jon!

kev, can you email me that excel sheet we worked off of last time for my car.. i think it reverted, WOT its at 12.5 and at idle its tetering around 10....? im sure we fixed that..

Travis.Bettcher at Gmail.com

 

It's not a spreadsheet I made it up myself if you email me the timing and the fuel sheet's I'll fix them

 

Mark have you checked out the ottp stg 5 tvs 1900?

 

Carcraft did a dyno run with it years ago as someone stated
