axle hop got the best of me last time out (see the etown thread), so i tried new launch techniques. more slipping of the clutch.

the 5th pass of the day was the magic number i was looking for. i lowered the launch RPM and slipped the clutch and bogged. it was the only time that day i bogged, but the car liked it better than the small axle hop i was getting in other runs; 1.578 60ft. I powershifted each gear and was shocked to see the 127 mph. then i got booted off the track for no rollbar. not bad for 398 hp.

i think with bias ply ET streets (instead of the ET street radials i used), i could get better short time with more aggressive launch, but that is just bench racing. not really concerned with it because I'm into road racing and AX. but nice to know its a 10 second ride

 

Sweet, what turbo are you using? Funny seems to be more and more blue rx7's these days.

 

no turbo. its run N/A its electron blue from a z06.

 

scott show them the engine,the color is not the only thing from a corvette

 

That is awesome man, congrats!

 

congrats!

 

i was next to a blue vette the other day, and my car was closer to that color than fd3boost's color.





dont you have an ls1?

 

yep, 370 stroker. baby cam.

whats the name of the blue you have?

 

Congrats!I hate when ppl put pistons in something as unique as the rx7.It totaly defeats the purpose of owning one.It's your own car so do whatever it's still nice just not as nice as it would of been.

 

haha, thanks for the left handed compliment i don't car about being unique; i want reliable kickass car that can do it all (street, drag, autocross, road course). i bought this already converted, so since i had ls1 for 6 years prior, there was no issue of me having to learn about a new type of engine. slam dunk
