Have you ever seen a pumpkin fly?

[turbostang]

I did, last night..

That pumpkin was flyin' with the new turbo.

5.45@128 1.32 60' on 275/60/15 drag radials!!

I guess that new turbo did the trick! (of course the 2950lbs helps a lot as well)

[Big Thumper]

F-in sweet. What is the new turbo?

[turbostang]

F-in sweet. What is the new turbo?


88MM, custom built blah blah...

This is a stock 351W roller block and stock crank btw.

[Big Thumper]

One other thing...you think it'll be a 78 or 80 in TS next year?

I'd like to think it's going to be an 80..but time will tell. As it sits, we cant' hang and they know that.

[turbostang]

Nope, it's a mutt.

[FRANCISCO308]

:eek: Damn...that pumpkin is flyin

If you did have an 80, do they allow sleeves?

[turbostang]

If you did have an 80, do they allow sleeves?


As long as it's 1/16" from the wheel.

[slownbmta]

[Stangin4Lyfe]

Yeah.

[Clifton]

Glad y'all like the times! The best thing is how the car goes perfectly straight, every pass, every time. I wish I would have brought the video camera. :(

We backed that pass up with a 5.461 @ 127.61 with a 1.332 60' time. :D

Now time for the wheelie bars and slicks!!!

Dont need wheelie bars.

[88hatch5_0]

I saw the pumpkin fly and afterwards some crazy bastard tried to jump on the back of Cliftons BMX bike to go back to the pits!! LOL

[BoostedGT]

See! Thats all it takes to run a .40! A 88mm! :)

The car looked damn good last night. Now put the 76 back on there and lets go a few rounds in truestreet.

[Clifton]

Boring...

[BoostedGT]

Okay... leave the 88 on there and compete in extreme street??? :D

[Andrew]

Dont need wheelie bars.

Wheeliebars are cheaper than oilpan and suspensions......

[Clifton]

dame!! that thing was moving... congrats..are you guys running T/S next week???
Yes sir, we will be there in legal form though. We still have to add 240lbs. to the car.

[8D8STANG]

Yes sir, we will be there in legal form though. We still have to add 240lbs. to the car.

Did you run that number with the 76 or 88??

[Mustangman_2000]

That's quick. Too bad there is no video.

[musclestang89]

damn very nice, congrats guys

[terminator03]

I also wish we had a camera :mad: Car carried tires twice on that pass - not bad for radials!!

[tray]

so what all changes have yall made since the first time out.details

[GhostFlamedCoupe]

Why not sleeve this new "mutt" turbo and come play in TS? Plus the weight will only make it leave harder ;)

[Clifton]

Converter. That's about it.

Thats what im going to do if I can get a driveshaft in time.

[fordracing19]

Very nice!!!

[Progres1]

damn impressive for a blow thru with stock parts.. Good Job

[Da Prez]

sure would love to see a vid...

[Old man]

I'd like to think it's going to be an 80..but time will tell. As it sits, we cant' hang and they know that.

I heard 78 A/A. Could be wrong though, don't think a 78 is gonna get it done.

yeah, I've already heard the rumor on how "we are all idiots because we can't make a 76MM run xxxxxxx "

blah blah.. The meeting still has to happen though.

[Magnimike1]

Everyone involved with the car/build, Great Job!

Yeah, I think for us to hang next year we're going to have to go solid roller and crank that bitch up a notch or 2. If T/S gets much faster they'll have to combine the 2 classes, lol.

About what?

[Nate]

About what?The eagle has landed...you know. ;)

[BoostedGT]

76mm rule in T/S is such horseshit. Especially compared to the nitrous rules. At least give a damn 80mm for crying out loud.

[Thehead]

you act like you are willing to run in the class....... lol. I know what you mean though! The turbo rule is kinda bs and they have it that way so they don't feel like they are being picked on.

[BoostedGT]

You forget that I've ran that class in the past. I stopped showing up and sold my turbo for this exact reason. Whatever, according to some people we're all just non-tuning idiots that don't know what the hell we're doing. :)

Congratulations, you guys keep making huge strides. :D

[GhostFlamedCoupe]

I think clifton is the only turbo car to race this year and that was 1 time. BTW what did that car MPH at ttt5 on a so-so pass? One race to me doesnt do any justice for rules because you wont have the combo ironed out in that one race. Shit its taken us 3 years to be in the ballpark with these guys and the tires were alot of it. Why not go race that way ttt5 has a base to go off of rather than the 1 time they saw a turbo or by what people say. We dont mph with them but were still "competetive" et wise. When rules come up next year i hope we'll have some say being that were consistatly down 4-6 mph. I do agree the rules need changing.

PS i just read clifton's thread on turbo mustangs and if it runs that good with a 75mm they may be moving yall down in turbo size :p . 128 is moving. Add the 200# and I bet it doesnt slow down a bit.

[turbostang]

I can promise you that 260# of dead weight will slow it down 6-8 MPH and 3 tenths - or more. Most of which will come from the converter bieng so-so to slipping 30% +.

One race? What about the dozen other outings and 75 passes on this car? We've been out every weekend and several Wednesdays in the past few months.

In full T/S trim it managed a 5.99@118 I believe.

[Skidmark]

I wonder what a 1.32 60ft feels like...

What about the 30+ passes i have made in the last 3 months in true street trim and only mustered a .9x out of it? Im not showing up unless I have atleast a chance, anything else is just pissing money away.

Yeah, shit, I wasn only talking about his car.

The bananna was the same thing, but that was last season and at 3300 lbs.

exactly

[Old man]

Pretty good. :D

But not quite as a good as a 1.28 on a drag radial. :D

When did you feel that? :p I know CJ knows it! :p

STFU trick, lol.

[Nate]

STFU trick, lol.
That would be like me saying I know what a 1.18 60 foot feels like because I put the race fuel in Andrew's POS. :p Trick.

[Lason]

The pumpkin was sitting in my garage all night and is a few mm's short of 88 :confused:

Damn, now I gotta come up with a different fruit to call mine. Kumquat? :D

In all seriousness, you guys got that thing straight up moving! Congrats on the new times, I guess Im sold on the big bad name brand converters now. More shit I cant afford :o

[Phoenix383]

Good looking car and Nice runs man!

Seems to me TTT5 could lose some weight off the cars right now and just see how less weight on the trannies affects them in competition.

Id try 3150 split the difference and see what happens. Help the parts live longer and give the turbo cars a little bump for now.

I think the weight is the best interim solution. It doesn't seem to affect the nitous car converters as bad... but in our case(s) it KILLS it quick. It will pick up several hundred RPM's worth of slippage.

I think at 3100 we could give them a run for thier money!

Well in any case I know what a 1.32 60ft feels like, wasn't ready for it, slapped my head back into the seat and rolled my helmet down half way over my eyes and just in time to shift into 2nd. How bout you there.....Trick?

Best I got is a 1.44 in someone else's car...scared me coming from 2.0 60 ft in my 2v it was a bit of a shock! :eek:
