Bitching about a 4g in a 3000GT

[donniekak]

What restall company are you using, Donnie?

Roadrunner converter in Phoenix. They are quite possibly the best company I've dealt with. They bent over backwards to get me setup.

Let's just keep in mine that English racing has run 8.2 @ 180ish in there 4g awd auto

DRAG RADIALS? Give me a fuckin break. I'm sure you and the rest of the delusional RWD "Baller" crowd use DRAG RADIALS to drive to work on your daily commute.

You know what I know? I know that when someone says they have a 1000RWHP "street car", what they mean is that they have a car that is technically legal to drive on the street--but is in no way considered to be something that one would take on trips longer than 15 minutes in duration.

Fatheads talking a lot of hot-air bullshit. The difference between 600 and 1000 hp in RWD is how quickly you can force yourself into buying a new set of tires.

We get it. You hate RWD.

They did mine as well, can't beat their quality to dollar ratio.

I had a bolt back out, and wipe out a pad about a week after they did my converter, they built me another converter for free. Then, I had a gear failure about 2 months out, and wanted the converter taken apart, and cleaned. I called and asked them how much, and they did that for free. Best service I've ever had. Not to mention any work they did was done in one day.

No. RWD is fine. I prefer AWD, though I don't have an inherent problem with RWD. What I have a problem with is pretentious fucks who insist that RWD> everything else. There's plenty of evangelists who will swear up and down that plenty of people will put 600+ RWHP cars on the streets for "daily use". Not ONE of them well accept the fact that you can push more WHP safely on the street via AWD than RWD. THAT'S what my beef is.

P.S.

FTR though, my next car will almost certainly be RWD...but nowhere close to 600WHP. 500, maybe.

Ray reved his 3L to 9000 too with stock damper, but there was never need to rev the 6g that high. Trans won't shift and You have plenty of power under curve to 8000-8500 rpm. The only people who failed to rev to 9000 were the one with stock engines. Making power there do need better cams and manifold. We'll see how high my engine would make power with my setup. I tried to make my manifold runners as short as I can.

That's Ray though. He knows his stuff and can drive very well. There's been maybe him and Permanent Grin that have gotten into the 10s with DR-750s? What about the hundreds of DR-750s that have sold but yet nobody is running 10s? One guy ran a 10.71 with DR-650s and an auto. Just because Ray can rev his car out doesn't mean the average Joe can. There's more to it than that. You really need to know what you're doing. The 6G motor doesn't need to rev that high nor do you need it with a 5 or 6-speed. With the auto you will because you're gear limited to however fast you can top out 3rd. It seems for our cars an auto is good for TD04s and small TD05s. Any bigger than that and you can't trap fast enough because there's unsolved issues. Great idea that's cheap but less than stellar delivery.

If you're making any kind of power with RWD you really need to get a standalone with a good traction control to help put the power to the ground. Take a look at how well people are doing with Supras, Vettes, etc that have Pro EFI installed. Plenty of them are making 1000+RWHP and keeping up with similar powered AWD vehicles like the R35 GTR. It has to be a finely tuned system though. Just making the power alone will give traction issues unless you're doing 80+.

Not sure what you mean by that. Ray build good engines and great tuner So if you have an engine that's correctly built and a good tuner tune it you'll be fine. I think T4 reved closed to 9k rpm too and all these cars were running damper from factory that don't do a whole a lot of damping. I know Xwire also reves his engines to 9k once a while in 1st. Now if you want to rev to 10k rpm then I don't think even 4g can be that reliable up there. That's drag car territory only. About running 10s on dr750 then you know how 3/S owners are. They don't want to launch their cars because they don't want to break anything. I was at NG and people were running 14s and 13s omnn a built 400-500hp cars .lol

I hate fish, I think its disgusting. If it comes from the sea its not for me.

Ticks suck, its tick season here and I already had one try to attach to me, creepy crawlers.

Its going to rain like everyday in the foreseeable future here, that sucks balls.

This thread is hilarious.
