Don't make statements about my car that are complete lies, my car was never damaged during loading. If you clearly don't know the full story don't say anything
We had a pretty amazing time, I literally beat the crap out of my car there. I cut the most 1.2x 60fts in my career.1.38 warmup get a feel for the track 8.38@170 at 48 psi
1.223 57 psi 8.13@171
1.220 38 psi spray 100 in 2nd gear 8.07@173
1.225 60 psi spray 2nd 8.11@174
1.221 60 psi spray 2nd...
I've been to the race a few times myself, just never with a car, Im for sure looking forward to it, I do know my standings with the competition, TOTALLY NOT why I'm going, I have a couple goals to finish off this season and I know this track can make it happen, and what the hell, who dont love...
I just wanted to share that This year I'm planning on running in the Hot Rod class. I know even on my best pass to date may not get me in too deep to qualify but what the hell, what better race to travel to, besides the Shoot Out, to hit a serious track and go for bigger better times. Some of my...
Im working my ass off to get the car ready, right now its killing me to have to wait for other people to ship my stuff back. I've pulled another 100 plus lbs out the DQ and I'm working on being the lightest Ive ever been in years. I just tipped the scales at 178lbs, for what I was like last...
So for the shootout I've decided to tear the car all the way down and fix a bunch of cosmetic damage from fire at the Shoot Out a couple years back. While doing this I've come to realize how much extra weight she's been packing. So we built a new tube K member, stocker was for sure big, bulky...
We put the car on what we thought was kill but come to find out we were only 1.5 psi over my off the trailer pass of 8.10@173. I did spray in 2nd gear as well. At the end of the day I drove her back into the trailer on her own power, yes drive is hurt but not by a power issue or mechanical...
There's no such thing as which one is strongest, they both are the same. Yes 2g has a lock up feature but in drag situations this is deleted, one: lighter converter by almost 10lbs, two: that circuit in the vb is common to bleed oil pressure off. for street use Id stay with a 1g trans and call...
I'm in no way alone on this, I've had a few 7 sec passes at 160 mph but only to see I straight up knocked a .500 60 ft john force style. Like I earlier said this is how I and I alone choose to claim any type of pass bettering any record set by myself or others.Marcus, some day on our way to...
To address the back up issue for me. I only claim a NEW PB if I only do it once and for some reason unable to make a pass or come with in a few .01's of the fastest pass. Hence for example my last record setting passes 8.07 backed by a 8.08. to me if I had ran a 8.15 or something like that on...
Im still running stock axles in the front, only broke 1 in 4-5 years of being auto, and that was on the dyno, not even sure how it happened. Only a few more days of waiting...... man I cant wait to get out there to feel a low 8 sec rush!!!!
welded front and center diffs make for the real challange for turning, AWD burnouts are epic though. The car feels light as a feather as I go smoking past the tree LOL
Any fast auto only runs a welded center diff, otherwise the biggest RWD burn out ever on the stall, however it's impressive to see this it's very counter productive for cutting the 1.2x 60ft's my car cuts.
I'm bringing in the DQ tonight to get her ready for the trip. this only consists of changing the oil, gap new plugs, check for loose bolts put 20lbs of air in the tires for travel. I cant believe how simplified the car has become with the dry sump and other small changes. Looking at the weather...
It's on the calendar to come down with my auto car, and the ETS/English GTR plus my good friend Tim in the red Supra. Im also hearing that Trevor Holland wants a piece of the action as well.
It's my own set up that through trial and error I've managed to make work pretty damn reliable, solid copper HG, thickness is determined by how much decking has taken place on the head and block to keep heights to zero. O ringed block and head. The exact specifics of protrusion vs receiver Im...
As Mike has posted for me we had a pretty good outing this last weekend, NO 7 pass but thats clearly my fault I got greedy. The 8.07 pass was only at 48-50 psi, we then turned it up to 53-55 guaranteeing the 7, but I was also after the 180 mph trap so we chose to spray second gear, well needless...
Weather has pretty much screwed my rest of season. If I make any passes here on out its gonna be in Cali or down in Vegas IFO, I was pretty excited to go out on this new meth tune, car is seemingly much more rowdy then ever before. Oh well, just more DiSappointMent.
M1, nothin fancy. I'm however impressed on how much better the car runs. We got rained out today kinda bummed, running out of time to get anything done
Only update is a fuel change. gonna try to go out Saturday to see whats up with running full meth. Car at 37 psi is up a solid 90 whp changing nothing but fuel, still on the same timing as e98. added 3* of timing and picked up another 50ish whp. that being said, maybe something fun to report on...
The drag queen is under going a full make over, The all new look will not be revealed till we show up at the Shoot Out. I'm looking forward to finally getting in some good passes there.
I will throw this in, We have every intention on being out there this year, and yes were bringing the ETS 1200 plus whp street GTR as well, and of course my car and another 9 sec auto.
It's really never just eh, but I dont let it get to me either. It's not really known why the billet converter did this, I'm being told its pretty much impossible but I have proof that I can blow up just about anything. The motor that came out is now my back up and now it's time to stop messing...
Oh, I spose they do Justin. I had thought for some odd reason my Tbelt had walked into my Kiggly crank trigger. well not the case. my converter actually ballooned and pushed the thrust out of the crank and trans. kind of a bummer but really no big deal. already have everything being fixed. also...
I dont think I'll ever come back to Sac.That track is sketch as hell, and the owner refused to pay me on an imp vs dom race they set up and I won, then the following day short my payout because they supposedly ran out of money
We're going back out this next saturday for Forum Fest at Pacific Raceway. I'm not gonna do anything top fuel but I do have plans for some interesting testing on some new changes.
For those of you who arent friends with me on facebook, there's tons of photos and videos on the car, my turbo 700 Raptor quad and some of my Evo Lander. https://www.facebook.com/jeffrey.bush.777
My cams are custom one offs Greg wanted me to try, believe it or not only 11.7mm of lift 280 something duration.I've also looked into the straight axle conversion but refuse to do it. I dont care so much about weight, it's waaaaay cooler to run fast on stock IRS, mine is still 20 year old...
Mod list, Hmmmmm, wiseco hd 9:0to1, filled block, my ported head, GSC S3r cams, Kiggly race only springs, hla, trigger disc. Magnus dry sump,intake, alt delete, FIC 2150's, Metro 2g auto with precision 9.5 billet converter, FP HTA 105 hybrid turbo, ETS water to air. 3000gt rear diff with 300m...
I really dont keep a full count but maybe 160ish 1/4 mile passes. Ive broke only ring and pinion and one spider, the trans prior to this had a shorter life due to ejecting a center diff out, which is very common on violent launches.
Thanks everyone, for the first time I'm starting to question really how much more power the auto can handle. There's nothing hurt or wrong with the trans right now but I'm cautiously watching. This spring I replaced my 2/1/2 year old trans due to totally being wore out. Kinda funny though, I may...
The car is producing power this season like never before, still the hta 105 but a lil more cool. Dry sump from Magnus and alt delete thats all the new mods. curb weight no driver 2290.
IFO Kent Washington. Was pared off with the Speed Factory low 8 sec Civic. 8
.205@176mph WAAAY more left. I sprayed only in second gear but wound up spinning a bunch out to the 1/8th mile, 5.4@138 mph. For those wondering about the John Force burn out, wasnt intentional, she just wouldnt bite...
His steering shaft and wheel is a direct copy of mine, same with the fuel cell. the car weighed in at 2390 prior to mods, we still have the MAD lower arms to do which is another 10lbs. mine came in with all the new added in, dry sump blah blah blah, 2310.
