went back and improved on my 60ft times with some DR's my fastest ET was

13.034 @ 107

and a bunch of 13.2's 13.'3's @ 110


I wanted a 12 second pass really bad but the stock clutch wont hold any more boost. Im not really a huge drag racer i just like to use it as a test to make sure everything is doing what it it should.

bump me up

Yea my GS is running very strong, I felt my RPS 6 puck which is rated for 650 ft lb's of torque slipping last Saturday a little while doing a little street racing. Right now Turbax is fixing my bent Blitz wheel, once I get it back I'll be at the track just to see what I can do with normal 18" street tires and pump gas at 18psi. I'm not going crazy as I don't want to break anything, hopefully I'll be in the 11's.

How much are they charging you for the bent wheel? I have a slight bent lip on my rim, it looks more like it's pinched, but I was thinking about taking it to them? Do they do good quality work?

Turbax dropped the wheel off 2 weeks ago, they didn't take apart my 3 piece wheels when poilishing so I told them to rework it, sent it back out and it came back yesterday, looks flawless/ repaint and polish, fixed the bend too. They charged me $200 but gave me a $50 discount for the issue, its half that I think if you just have a regular one piece wheel.

I was looking at twin and tripple disk clutches for my R154, I came to the decision that if I'm going to spend 2K+ on a clutch I better put it into a tranny that I know wont break, so I bought a V160. I'm selling my R154 setup and going V160 in the coming weeks.

I updated the list, someone knock me off, I'm the last one in the 14's!

Hey Rob, my tuner Rick Bowers @ Speedtech just bought a Vetronix Mastertech 3100, this is the "dealer only" scanner that can go deep into the multiplex unit on our cars, he can even program keys with it. My car is giving us some trouble with the A/C and coolant temp, so we needed it as the dealer isn't too friendly when it comes to looking at modified Lexus's, plus their fees are absurd. If you ever need access to this hit Rick up.

I think I'll hit Speedworld tonight and go for the #1 spot on pump gas / street tires. It might be tough the way my car is spins those 285's.

I updated the list, took #2 on the list in terms of MPH, trapped 117MPH but couldn't get any traction with these bald 285's.. Going back with ET streets.
