My Quest to Prove Ray Pampena a mortal man.

uh you realize the timing of the run doesn't begin until you break the starting beam. I.e. your r/t time has NOTHING to do with your e.t.

I believe I said that in the quote

Come on guys, this isn't pinks

Come on guys, this isn't pinks

NO....THIS is 3SGTO.....way more serious........lol

"ESPN...the coverage is amazing"....lol but I've been racing for a couple years, and tuning i'm newer too,but i understand the concept and what goes into it, i.e. 80% IDC's 11.0-11.5 AFR, i know what things need to be, and how to get them there i.e. adjust fuel pressure, and safc to get what i'm looking for. theres more to it than that obviously, but you get the idea.

At first I thought you were saying 80% IDC = 11-11.5 AFR. Not all injectors are the same and I see what you meant. I just read it wrong the first time.

2011 schedule is up for No Limit Raceway (US41). Let's set a date now. We should try a Wed. night TNT instead of the weekend. We shouldn't have to wait nearly as long to get runs in that way. Hows about June 1st? That's an easy date to remember and I should have my car back up and going in some form by then. I'm sure if you remember to close your sunroof this time you'll hit 10.9's all day long!

I'm thinking the sunroof will hyperreact with the new 99 wing and create a thrust vortex, propelling me to mach one, and I plan on going to the strip alot, so whenever you want to go, wednesdays are better, because I have autocross meets on the weekends. Also, I need to go to napperville to use that dynopack dyno I know aaron was wanting to go, you should come with.

Under 20 psi, you'll never get there on 13T's, unless your car weighs 3000lbs with you in it. I consistantly can put down 124-127 traps and 11.2-11.5 on street tires in a 3750lb car at 23 psi on pumpgas w/standalone on Hybrid 19T w/no adder at 6000ft. No where near 10's but completely demonstrative of 10's being that my car would run nearly .5 faster at sea level equivalent air density. You need way more boost or much much less weight. Convert your 13t to billet 19T... throw in some E-85 and spend some time with a strain gauge and NLTS... 10's all day, Touche

EDIT: No standalone or launch control... not gonna happen consistantly.

one thing to consider....

Ray is the same size and weight as a 3s piston, he has cat like reactions and the ability to let the car break if it wants too. when it doesn't break he waves his magic over the engine and places his voodoo winners doll in the passenger seat.

now aside from the bullshit i just posted....if you fix the launch and the 60 times to a near perfection the rest just flows. it takes practice and about 500 t/cases.

good luck

Ray is a Wizard i think, black magic and stuff

[Keyan]

what does ray have to do with making a 13t car run 10 seconds?
