Brady if someone got one of burnouts on video thats how you have to heat up the 555r.
They stuck so good it stalled my car a couple launches lol

Thanks. I ended up with a 12.38 as my best. With some more seat time it should be in the 11's. I may go to Hertford next weekend, anyone interested?

Nope, the track prep sucked. Nobody could hook, dident run any faster on drag radials than street tires.

 

[Greg Hazlett]

That sucks...sorry to hear you didn't have any better results.

Sorry to hear that Mike. I went to Richmond just to watch today, as it was from a rain out from a couple weeks ago and I had already paid. There were more people there then I can remember. Some really good cars and everyone was hooking great. They will be open the next 2 Saturdays in Nov and Dec 3 also. Next Sat looks like good weather. Greg do you think you will have your intake coupler fixed by then?

Nope..pulling my hair out trying to find who carries a 4.5' to 3' coupler...Jeremy found this place but I don't need 10!

Since it is made by Samco I went to their web site to find it and they don't even list it...weird...

Yeah even my Pirelli Nero's were spinning. I ran four runs with time of: 12.7, 12.9, 13.0 and 13.1. Will upload pics soon.

Yes that's the only one I found when I searched, that's why I said you may be better off making a new pipe. I think if you had a stud welded to the pipe just below the coupler, like we talked about and made a bracket from the T/B to the stud to relieve some of the stress I think the one you have now would work.

I think the one I have has been stretched enough to get a new one, race part solutions is where I bought the 4.25 to 3 but I would rather get one like Jeremy's as it seems to be constructed better. Since his came with the On3 kit I am going to call them in the morning to see if I can buy the coupler from them.

Weird thing is I have been to the 1/4 and 1/8 tracks enough times that this should not have been an issue....only thing different this time was it was cold....not sure if I was making more boost since it was so cold?

 

[Coderedsaleen]

I think you are dragging something, LOL!!!!!!!

 

[Fallenauthority]

Greg, google boost brace, they have worked great for guys with your same issue.
