While it may have been a rough weekend, we still were able to drive the car in the trailer after all that abuse! I might add, we also drove the car out to the street, down the road and in the front gates to make every pass lol. #WedidntdieI know it was a rough weekend, #ButDidYouDie?
Seriously though... THEM RIBS!!!

The word is lazy... It was raining cats and dogs when I got home yesterday and I needed to roll the car out about 3 feet out of the garage if I was to do anything and that just didn't happen. I'll get to it next week, taking the fam to the shore this weekendany word on the struts?
Without getting all into cuz I'll let nick do the talking . The wheelies were not helping all the air time and peddling coming down account for it. They were hoping for 5.20s to get in the mix . Sorted out and nick can tell me if I am wrong it has 5.0s in it . I believe he and kris mentioned last weekend it's been like 177 to the 1/4Alright Nick, I have a question for you....please don't shoot me if I come across as a total idiot or jerk.
I saw in one of your last few post that you ran a 5.40 last weekend. I know that wasn't a perfect run. If I remember correctly, your car made 1400+ rwhp? With that kind of power, I believe I am safe to say that a 5.40 run was really slow for what the car is capable of once it's all ironed out. So what do you expect the car to run once it gets nailed down? In the 4's?

This is actually a good question. Last year when the car was on the dyno with the Xb105 we made 1442rwhp and even more with the 110. Last year the car easily went 5.0's@146 without leaning on it hard at all. This year it is a different story only sporting a Ysi-b and loosing several hundred hp due to that switch. We moved into a not her class to try and be more competitive since x275 is well out of hand now. I think on kill that little blower could go 5.0x but I would be happy to see 5.1x anything from the car. The problem is, I change this car around as often as I change my underpants (frequently for all the wise @$$ mothers thst are reading this right now) and I probably don't explain everything I do as well as I should. I would guess thst the car makes in the neighborhood of 1100-1200 rwhp at this point the way things are setup. The gen1 275 radial is also a big limiting factor for us as the tuning window is so small to get down the track on that tire. We will get at it though!Alright Nick, I have a question for you....please don't shoot me if I come across as a total idiot or jerk.

This is a photo from last year but you get the drift. It has a lot of new "ish" under it now, like a mechanical cable driven fuel pump and gangster shocks lol
See post 987There's more money in your rear end than most people have in their entire car. Wait what?
I only started reading at page 40, because, well, 50 pages is a lot.
First off, thank you for this thread, and your commitment to it. Keeps all us peons dreaming.
I am no expert, but I noticed the same as some others, looks like the rear is "unloading". In the DH mountain bike world we would add compression and slow up rebound... maybe even toss a heavier spring in it and really slow the rebound to control the added "boing". Not sure if that relates to the 275 world or not, but, there it is.
Again, awesome thread, I will be following this.
