The race with the Altima was classic.

 

That Bug had some serious pull near the end

 

the bug ran a 13.051 @ 101.52 mph

First off that was some sweet racing very consistant.and bugs are very fast I have a 55 I am building with a 2275cc dean lowry heads rollercrank dual 48idas maybe turbo not sure a has a built trany 4 wheel disk gots to be able to stop!
should be in the 12s stock outside except for a drop and some wheels. nothing better than beating anything in a bug no one expects them to be fast a grate car to embarrass "sportcars"

 

cool vid........

 

Man those are some great vids!! keep um coming

what tires are you running and what mods do you got?

 

I have the 16 inch SSR Competitions with Toyo Proxes T1-S, MODS: injen intake, warpspeed y and b pipe, cm racing pipe, magnaflow muffler, UR underdrive pulley, and technosqaure upgraded ecu.

Im very pleased with the Chariot and I really feel like I might can squeeze just a little bit more out of here with what I have. It was around 60 degrees maybe more, and sooner or later I will catch a 30-40 degree night to see if its possible.

I was surprise to actually pull off a win against the Altima. I had a poor reaction time and didnt think I could make up the distance, but did ! LOL !

With a poor reaction time I was behind the altima .270 or almost 3 tenths of a second. Those 2.3 60 foots will kill you against a good driver, and I believe that altima won the bracket race that day. I was knocked out after one pass (dang bug). Still learning though.

The technosquare ecu has been a great mod and really put me in the low 14's. If I could have had what I wanted at the time, I would have taken the JWT ecu, but didnt have the extra money or time back then.

Its taken a long time to get the maxima to this point, but its really making racing on the drag strip much more fun.

Glad you guys enjoyed the races. Im ready to head back out again, and maybe I can race some better cars and pull off an upset win !

 

As usual ceasar...the best...

I wish you lived closer to here. Seems like you live at the track! How far away from teh track are you? Im about 1.5hours away from mine, kinda sucks....

Come to Jersey. It was a Heat wave of 42º today.

 

99Maxima5sp : click video in my signature, it will tell you all about it !

 

Yeah, that video was sweet man. Ever time I watch your clips, it makes me want a Stick even more and more! That Altima did have a Nice jump off the line, I was surprised! But You still took him in, good job for that. Great Kills!

 

nice vid's. keep em coming man !

cesar when you run how much weight reduction is that. Seat's, spare??? Awsome times man. Your car really inspires me to bulild mine even more. I was totaly discouraged today cause I was going to order the ingen intake to but somebody told me stock box pulls harder but I see it's not hurting your beast at all so tomorrow it's on.

 

Guy in the EVO can't drive.

 

lol, i here ya ! im not sure what was up with that ?

 

That guy is slow off the clutch. From 1st to 2nd gear the car slows alittle with no type of pull. I know this and I drive an autotrajic. Good thing I learned to drive a manual first. But it doesn't help until I trade my 3rd gen in for a 4th in probably two more years.

 

Ceasar:

Why were you so slow 14.4-14.5@96mph isn't like yourself What happened to the 14.2s@98mph?

 

nice vids....

 

dave i have no idea, other than i hadnt been to the track in a month or two and just wasnt in any kind of groove. that was the last run of the day and the car was hot and mad i guess, not to mention out of gas.

as diluted as it may seem, i think i might can squeeze a low 14.2 or maybe even a high 14.19 out of the old girl.

it just seemed somehow, someway i did something wrong and felt lucky to hit any kind of 14.2. I had a tough time launching, shifted wrong a few times. Example: Ran a 14.267 with a 2.231 60 foot. I thought hey all i need is a 2.15 or something. Later I got a 2.127 60 foot and ended up with a 14.274 ?

I would have thought that would have put me in 14.1 territory but im thinking somewhere on that pass I wasnt shifting right. I love a manual, but there is a bit more envolved in making that perfect run. LOL !

hey dave, on the 1st to 2nd shift you think i should rev as high as i can get it with my setup. Havent really paid any attention to it, but thought you had said something about 1-2 shift at 7000 would be perfect ( i cant rev that high of course but can try lol !)

what are the shift points again for the 4th gen without jwt/mevi ? once i figure out what works im going to stick with it.

 

Ideal would be 6900rpms on the 1-2 with the USIM. The ideal points (as indicated by the tach) for the USIM and a 6500rpm limiter:

1-2 As high as possible before tagging the limiter. My tach showed ~6600rpms.

2-3 ~6300rpms indicated (real rpm is ~6100-6200)

3-4 ~5900-6000rpms indicated (real rpm is ~5800-5900)


You need to first find out how much your tach is off by. It seems 100-200rpms is the norm.

Once again Cease , you da man and thanks for all the great vids.

I love showing my boyz what the Max does to other cars that they respect but hardly give the Max the credit they deserve.
