Just realized my times were not as bad as I thought considering I was only pushing 148/275, and I thought I was pushing much more or equal to the 1956 turbo setup that was over boosting on the dyno when it put up 177/327...

Still trying to figure out if I can make the 12/10 date if you guys are still going. I would like to run again for fun/practice and to get a real baseline time for the car before, injectors, LSD, and turbo get done.:cool:

Chris, Steve, V, anyone...do we want to do this on the 10th still? I am up for it, if you guys dont mind getting beat...

Steve, your numbers are wrong/different..275 ft lbs but only 148hp??

I am at 150hp but only/maybe 250ft lbs.

So we need to figure if we are going to do this..Plans wise..

Nope those numbers were good, running a different tune now 156/267, I like it so far.

Looks like I'm out...:( Talked to the professor last night and he said I still have to take my final (on the 10th only) even though I don't need the grade...

Hope you guys go, and have a good time!

High at the track? Sweeeeet! You bring the munchies ;)

I think I might be out for the 10th too... my mom just sold her house and I'm probably gonna be helping her move that day.

Maybe we can meet at SAR after the new year?

I just looked at your dyno sheet 130hp and 200ft lbs. thats pretty respectable for stock...

Yeah, I'm definately missing at least 30 of torque. Disappointing.... Almost over it...but not quite yet.

I can play Monday the 15th or Tuesday...I have to work Wednesday the 17th, then I'm off again until the end of the year.

Maybe Steve can go if we do it the week of the 15th?

The range is listed as 1/4 mile at least. No creature comforts either.
Yea I heard that, but I figured if you were not going full power, you could actually get some distance from the charge. Plus then he put in those Li-Ion batteries and dropped 700+lbs and gained 100hp :eek::D. So I am sure his cruising range has improved over what it was. None the less very cool!

EDIT: Who needs creature comforts when you have 400hp, who knows how much Tq, and weigh less than 1900lbs :eek: :cool:. Not me anyway!

There is an Ariel Atom, electric running the streets, that is faster then that Datsun.

We are cruising tomorrow night in the BRO's Z06(670HP), that would destroy that slow electric car. Can you say 9 sec 1/4, and tops out at 200MPH?

I know several Full size diesel trucks that will kick it as well.

It would be a fun toy..

Got pictures of the electric F150 from SEMA has 4 motors each rated 500TQ and 150HP, But thats not enough power so they are going to go up to 300HP motors and 1000ft lbs. torque each.

They can make it, did and now trying to get Ford to build it..

Electric is just starting to happen....It will over come ICE...

Whelp, I'm off work until January 7th. Maybe the week after Christmas, or shortly after New Years?

I could make it as I am off until the 5th..

I need a couple days notice as I am going to trailer the Jetta down there, cause I know I am going to blow the OEM clutch out. Plus I can roll the truck down the line as well...

Vain attempt at a pun. :D

So...do we just call and tell them when we want to run? Z, if you're nicely broken in...maybe you can come too? Steve, VelociT, ya'll still want in? Anyone else? This place looks pretty cool.

I'll set it up, although I've never done anything like this before.

I just checked their website... nothing up but that hangover race.

They'll post up their test & tune schedule for next year soon I hope.

Once we know the dates, we can all decide on what works.

I'm still down for whenever.

When do they shutdown, can we get in before XMAS?

We have a group to go..oh, is it shutdown..Yuc!!! well it will give me time to do more mods..I still have that brand new clutch sitting on the floor in the shop...that I have been wanting to install.
