here is a post from a member on the 3000GT message board about his car. for those who dont feel like reading it all. it ran a 10.1 @ 141 at 14psi second run was at 16psi and it ran a 9.7 @ 146. its gonna be a really sick car, i posted some pics of it after the quote. oh yea btw this car is running some new 3.7l 6G72 pretty sick stuff. later on he posted that his car weighs 27XX pounds which is crazy weight savings considering these cars stock weight 38XXpounds

I had a Exciting night.

My car is running and running grate.

Seeing how the motor has 0 miles on it I convinced my self I was just going to make a few passes on it tonight at lo boost and feel it out. I repeated it to my self over and over on the way to the track, and that I was not going to crank it up at and just run wait gate boost this trip. lol well you know me.... lol



First pass

DSBC set to 0
Peek boost in the run 14.6psi
22 psi in the tires

60ft 1.54
1/8 mile ET 6.61
1/8 mile MPH 108.97
1/4 mile ET 10.12
1/4 mile MPH 141.99 mph

A/f was in the mid 10's all the way down the track

The tires spun BAD all the way threw 1st gear prity much

Shifting at 7500rpm

That’s right 10.12@141.99mph at 14psi!!! I had race gas in the tank (VP unleaded) but that boost could easily be run on pump gas! and this was the cars 1ST pass!!!!! The funny thing was all week Bob and I had been making jokes that the car was going to run 9's at waist gate boost and it dang near did on it's 1st pass!!!


Pass # 2

DSBC set to 10% (so much for me only running WG boost lolol)
Leaned out the High on the ARC-2 2 clicks
Peek boost 16.8psi
Let down tires to 20psi

60FT 1.58
1/8 mile ET 6.42
1/8 mile MPH 114.16
1/4 mile ET 9.78
1/4 mile MPH 146.44

A/F was in the mid to high 11's on every glance on this pass

Shifting at 8000rpm

tires spun REALY bad, but still got a 1.58 got to love these quick time pros

Still well within what could be run on pump gas on a set-up like this. That’s right I fully beleave I now have a 9 second pump gas car! I'll need to test that out at some point.

The car felt REALY good, like a walk in the park.


Needless to say I was VERY excited, I hot lapped the car right back up to the staging lanes to runn again. Still trying to figure out how to launch the car on these DOT slicks I decided maybe I needed to heat them up. so before I staged I did a big dry hop burn out. (may have been a bad idea)

The car was running to good to keep the boost down, so I cranked the DSBC to 35% thinking this would get me around 20psi.

Staged

Lite goes Green

I launch...... POP, BANG!! front tires go totally up in smoke, bang the rev limiter.... ****! I think I broke the T-case..... But no grinding, car seems fine.... hmmm about 1/2 track I decide to punch it (why I have no idea) I'm in 2nd just idling, nail it boost comes on front tires erupt into smoke. WTF... Still no noise...

I drive it down the track and up the return line back to my trailer and start looking under the car no oil.... hmmm ooooo crap rear end look under the back the left rear Axle is GONE, totally missing. Crap it's on the Track, I start running over to the staging lanes to tell them when I see a guy walking towards me holding my Axle... " you loose this" lolol

Boost hit 21.3psi at some point either on the launch or when I punched it in 2nd.

Man I wish it would have made that pass full, I can only imagine how 5 more PSI on this set-up would have made it run!

Guess it's time to replace these 14 yr old well raced Axles... Does anybody make any stronger ones that I don’t know about?


But all and all I am VERY happy, I bet if I ran run a few more passes at WG boost I could have run a 9 second pass on 14psi!

9.7 @16psi is amasing, it took 30psi on the old set-up to run that!

Changes from last yr

~300lb lighter
DOT slicks
added .7L to the motor
DR-1200's VS DR-1000's (but with still running 720's kind of pointless)
Short runner intake with 90MM TB
Bigger Intercooler
Bigger Intercooler Piping (2.25")
3' o2 housings VS 2.5"
Power steering removed


Still running a ARC-2, DR- stage 3 heads, DR STREET cams, 720's.....


I LOVE IT, I could not be happier despite the Axle braking.... because I Know when the boost goes up this thing is going to be NUTS!!!

he ran 9.7 a little over a year ago he was the 1st one to do it. but that was running 30psi he just did it while running half the boost. also since then 2 other people ran 9s.

the 3sx car holds the record now at 9.2 @ 155 but its had the most 9 second passes i believe somewhere around 30passes in the 9s now running the same trans/motor/clutch for about a year. they are still running a 3.0.

and this other car held the record for about a day at 9.6 @ 152 hahaha. but his car is really sick too. it belongs to nelsonperformancepro.

the amazing thing is all these cars are on stock trannies. they just have Tcase brases and such, the 3sx car run with no Tcase bracket but has a support plate welded to the bellhousing so it doesnt crack. somebody just recently started making a dogbox tranny for these cars.

Don't forget Nelson's car is also on street tires, full weight, no bottle, and I believe pump gas.

When I had my vr4 I was really considering the Lambo Killer kit from dynamic performance.

can't stop now!!!:supz: go for broke. good luck:thumbup: how is the setup going to work out double the boost? (gearing, tuning ie; timing, octane etc..., drivetrain, motor...).

it's all good and fine that it ran #'s at a low boost level, but if it is setup perfectly for that then it will run the #'s and possible NOT run the #'s it should with more hp. dunno, just throwing that out there. wouldn't be the first time a car ran CRAZY #'s with only XXXX done but didn't gain what it should with XXXX on top of that- if you get what im saying.

yea i get what your saying. but with a larger motor and a sick turbo set up like that car has and the weight reduction its should go very very very fast times. granted nothing breaks ya know? but you can never guess whats gonna break. easpecially when cars start gettin faster and faster

So he is making 600-700whp on 15psi?

I will be the first to call BS on the boost. The car is fast for sure, but something is wrong with his boost level. A very rough rule of thumb is a turbo engine will double hp every 14psi. This would put his engine at 300-350whp NA (which I know is impossible). Is there a 150hp shot that he is forgetting to mention?

it was just on race gas. but he said he could easily run it on pump gas and be running the same time. it was on race gas cause he was gonna make a pass at 22psi but snapped the axle right during he also mentioned it was without nitrous. you gotta rember too its a 3.7l which is pretty big and its running his DR1200 kit which i believe is t3 .63A/R this isnt just some random guy he owns a very reputable 3/S shop that builds turnkey cars left and right for customers.

12s is pretty easy with them, 11s and 10s are hard.
