Keep in mind the massive difference in weight here too. You have to remember that the GTR has 485hp but it weighs 3800 pounds whereas he has 387hp but only weighs 3000 pounds. Roll race? My money is on the Balt.

I have been higher than the 387 just not consistantly so I don't claim it. My clutch has a mind of it's own every once in awhile I can get it to grab at 22psi which I got it to do one time on the dyno and lets just say it's considerably higher.

But since I drive everyday at 16-18psi I just say that. But I'm well over 400+ in both categories.

Once I get the man clutch in the car, I'll post up more stuff. But for now thats between me and my dyno operator!

i do get what your saying about the weight difference. but yet another thing to keep in mind too is the fact that the GTR is an AWD. So i gotta wonder about TQ and HP distribution to the wheels and if that would play a significant roll, even in a rolling race.

what about if you do LSD? wouldnt that evenly distribute the TQ allowing you to gain some traction?

I have LSD man... right now I need stickier tires, and a better clutch.

But for now, all it does is leave lots of black marks everywhere if I go WOT!

Those are the dejon pipes... like I said they look just like that right now except the couplers to the turbo are different since it's a tad bigger!

Thanks guys... yes I am still on the stock clutch which is why I have it detuned at 16-18psi....

The stock clutch is pretty much done at about 350ishWTQ...

I'll get under hood pics when I get my finished piping done... right now it's all ghetto'd which is why I haven't done it.

For those that don't like the rims... oh well. Nothing like 17lb rims and shedding 40+lbs of rolling weight!


You want a real clutch.... Exedy Hyper Single END OF STORY!
