Very nice pics.. love the first one with the black smoke from the pipes and white from the tires.. lol

[wrath]

Who has the broken grenade-lock? I can't say that I've ever seen a 11.5" without one. I'd be too embarrassed to one-wheel-peel in the box.

[michelle]

Thanks!

[GTSLOW]

Nice pics!

[Monstr913]

dude i love that pic of my truck, killer job man

[WickedSix]

man u can even see the toe-in in the pics

[lilws6]

don't know who the guy was with the broken govloc but his truck is plenty fast. wish my car would just go faster! i still ran a 12.9 at 110 but i was fighting wheel hop all night! i need a awd conversion. hey john you wana shoot me some of those pics i want some new backrounds.

[Monstr913]

the one of my truck is already my background on laptop

[GTSLOW]

What were the diesels running?

[stealthy1ss]

Nice work John! Thanks for getting a few of the truck.

[Monstr913]

2 of us were running 13.2 and one was 13.8-13.9 and other was 14.1-14.3

[Crawlin]

that's awesome. i wish i woulda gotten off work earlier to make it out.

[GTSLOW]

:rolf I didn't even notice the one wheel death in the first pic.

Nice times for those big trucks btw!!

[lilws6]

The camo truck is my buddy he's runnin 13.8 with stock everything and an efi live tuning :)

[JC70SS]

what did Dr Buick run?

[Anakonda69]

got any of the silver duramax? that was me. first time with the truck down there ran a best of 14.186 @ 93.55.

[JohnnyT]

what did Dr Buick run?

Clocks off...

[Anakonda69]

dr. buick ran clocks off.

[JohnnyT]

This one?

[Dr.Buick]

what did Dr Buick run?
not even close to pushing the car it was in the 8's at 10 psi ramping it in 4 sec in to the run and leaving hard to the right. ony 6 passes on the car 2 one under boost

[lilws6]

The last one launched real hard to the right find out what happened?

[Dr.Buick]

Just looked at it broke the anti roll bar. New one comming

[bigloc]

wow!!

[lilws6]

was it a stock roll bar?

[WhatsADSM]

was it a stock roll bar?

http://www.trzmotorsports.com/images/fox/mus-203.jpg


wow!!


Yea can't complain with how it ran for it only being the second time out at the track. Car was hooking great; suspension/chassis/instant center is actually pretty damn close to what I would assume it should be, which is the most important thing.

The powertrain wasn't even close to being pushed. Low boost, coming in slow, no intercooler, through crushed exhaust, backup trans, etc and still did 8s. But enough of the ricer excuses, Jim's gotta get back out there make a few more shakedowns and switch to kill mode. Then it should get really interesting.

He might even be able to beat my old datsun... only time will tell. :rolf :thumbsup

[GTSLOW]

That's awesome! Carnage pics?

[Dr.Buick]

Just got off the phone with todd from Trz, he has been waiting for one to brake, so they can look at it.lol

[PureSound15]

So what portion broke? There doesn't seem to be any particular weak point?

[Dr.Buick]

the arms that come off the main bar. will take pictures tonite

[WickedSix]

needs a bigger od on the arm where it goes to the main bar and is welded...huge stress concentration there after welding imho

[Dr.Buick]

here you go.

[PureSound15]

Wow - that would do it!

[lilws6]

it would have been a nice pass. had it not cranked so hard that car is just nuts! i want a ride lol

[Top Fuel Tom]

the arms that come off the main bar. will take pictures tonite

Wow Jim, that car just wants to fight you all the way.

[Dr.Buick]

Wow Jim, that car just wants to fight you all the way.
Want it broke give it to me LOL. now i have a h&r parts and stuff one comming. may have to make new exhaust.

http://hrpartsandstuff.com/


I will put pictures of my trans later MY GOOD ONE

[juicedimpss]

needs a bigger od on the arm where it goes to the main bar and is welded...huge stress concentration there after welding imho

thats where i've seen them break before(not that brand) where jims broke seems odd,but looking at it there is not alot of material there and it did still break on the weld.

[scottie K]

Looked just like the one in the mustang after street driving it with it connected ......... Its a costly mistake to learn....

[Dr.Buick]

to bad your wrong, mine was disconnected on the street. 2 3/8 bolt is not hard to take out an move to the side. Metz told me last year no street driving with it.


Costly its only 300 bucks. its not like thousands i spent on wrong valves and my time

[FourEyedFord]

That sucks dude! I have never disconnected mine on the street for the last five years, and havn't had a problem with it. I know people say its not a good idea, maybe I will start now!

[WhatsADSM]

No need for shit talkin. The truth is he got jealous seeing the sway bar on the back of my road race car so he had to go one up me and buy a big bad sway bar for his ride.

Seriously tho that car was cutting some seriously impressive 60' times for a stock suspension DR car on some random Friday at GLD. It should be very interesting once some.decent power is.actually running through it.

[Dr.Buick]

Your car Just got pushed off the lift.:thumbsup whoops i mean fell off!

[scottie K]

lmao


what was it 60ft ??

[DR.FORD]

Realistically, you should have a double-arm anti-rollbar on the car. The thing is still a tank and you make big power.
Wolfe had one, and I think your buddy Bowman has one too.
Feel bad for ya Jim-hell every time I turn around there is a thread of something bad happening to you.
Golf clubs are cheap, but you might get hit in the head or something!!
Luv, DR.

Braking a ARB is not bad It's what chould have happen! it's all good. I'm not worried. I can't afford the good stuff :durr that why i keep braking.

[WhatsADSM]

As far as the 60', I won't kiss and tell but color me impressed! It was only a tick off the best. It went 8s based on et not mph.

It was a bit better than mine. :goof

[bigloc]

wow!!!:popcorn:popcorn

[nismodave]

just cuz you ran clocks off dont mean i dont know some of the ets..

No offense, Skottie, but that does not seem right. Shoudnt the person running clocks off, be only person (aside from GLD timing personel) that knows what they run? :confused

[scottie K]

no offense to you.... people talk:) maybe some of his freinds let stuff slip:) and i never said what it does cuz im street racer at heart ....:)

[DR.FORD]

Thats NEWS to me! Nhra tech guy says diffrent. what about your buddie Dr ford

Can't I be your Buddy too??!!!:crying
The car looks and sounds great guys!
Boy, talk about "right turn, Clyde"!!-Great driving dude!
This shit takes time, and it looks like you guys are ahead of the game already:thumbsup

[Myles]

Jim, shut the fuck up.

Scotty, shut the fuck up.

[scottie K]

Myles ... my balls itch.. and go play in hot lava.:chair:

[Myles]

Myles ... my balls itch.. and go play in hot lava.:chair:

You first.

[DR.FORD]

Jim, shut the fuck up.

Scotty, shut the fuck up.

If this was directed at me, I will only comply if the female telling me to shut the fuck up is in black leather, 6" heeled boots, very hot, gorgeous and is a nympho for old, gray haired guys!:goof

[WhatsADSM]

murry calm down,,,, dont act like this thing is setting the track on fire,,,,, just be honest and dont play games on how it 60 fts and it runs 8 by et..;).

Like I said, it just not my place to really say what it runs. It's Jim's car, not mine. All I can say is that I personally was impressed that was all.

If you think I was trying to tell you it was setting the world on fire you must be crazy. Just because I used the phrase "color me impressed" does NOT mean I said "OMG this shit is the fastest thing I have ever seen!". IMO there are TONS of fast cars on this site and even so there is ALWAYS someone out there that is smarter and has more money. That is a given. As of right now the 60' times and ET, were actually more impressive than the mph, which is a good thing. :thumbsup



i think jims combo is all day long a 7 sec combo.. kudos .... jim told me to my face after dyno shoot out hes selln car anyways...

Jim changes his mind like Wisconsin weather. I have heard that one too, but I'm not holding my breath. It would be sad to see it go, that's for sure. :(



you said it was 60 ft a tic off the best,,, ok whats the best??? i dont have a standard i just know what a "best" 60ft is compaired to a good 60 ft...thats all... you have to remember im dumb and stupid ... iv never owned a race or tuned other cars ,... :shades

...

stock susp cars can run 1.15 60fts with slicks and 1.19s-1.25 on DR if power managment is used correctly....

:confused Sounds like the "scottie k standard of excellence" is actually pretty close to my own. Yea it is a tick off, on it first time out (with the right converter)... on lets just call it a non super sticky track day. Like I said color me impressed.. it is more of a kudos to all that setup the chassis in that car, namely Jim, Rollie (spelling?), Tom, and last but certainly not least Ron. :thumbsup


... so it better hook with60% power..

i have no doubts in your tuning abilitys..i wasnt knockn them...whats so ever.


For reference that car has complete control over the powerband, so it doesn't matter if I program it to eventually have full on boost, I can still get the thing to leave exactly the same.

One of the major differences between Jim's car and many of the other setups on here is the difference not only in maximum power, but more importantly programmable power range and resolution.

A car like the t-bird has TONS of power everywhere which is awesome, but unfortunately at the line it makes it a little more difficult because you are trying to hold it back almost exclusively with a combination of ignition timing/limiters. So lets say it can make 2400 horse, even with the timing backed WAY down and lower in the rev range the thing STILL makes over 1500. Whereas the GN has 2.5 pound springs and I can go all the way from 2.5psi (which we know "only" made 650 at the tires), all the way up to 25psi where we know it made 1600+. THAT is serious dynamic range, and that is why even when we decide to really rake the coals, it will still leave the exact same as it would on lower power. Nice as consistent.



jims car is no street car face it, i dont give a crap he can drivies 20 miles. or trailer it to hwy 100 and drive around its a high caliper race car period... Ps i didnt know you had a dyno queen,,

My car?! It is a jack-of-all-trades master of none. In terms of drag racing you guys are all in a different league compared to it. Just as mine is in a different league when it comes to road racing and streetability. The cars are setup to do vastly different things.

As for Jim's being a "Street car" it is all a matter of definition, an age old problem. All I can say is that I have no doubt that Jim could quite literally start his car of his phone, get in, drive it all the way down to the track on some cheap gas, and go run some ridiculous times without changing anything more than maybe a few suspension bolts and knobs at the track.




just be carefull 8.49 or faster the GN needs SFI seat in the car ;) your only a few tenths off ........:D
Yea I have my worries about that as well. It really should have an SFI seat going that fast, but I guess it boils down to how much tech cares and how much Jim cares about his safety (Jim, you listening?).

P.S. That last pass where it snapped the ARB was going to be a ramp to 14psi (as opposed to 10psi), and he actually remembered to turn the intercooler on for that pass as well (unlike the earlier high 8 where he forgot to turn it on). It would have been an interesting pass, that's for sure.

[WhatsADSM]

Okay big brother, you win.... my post got removed :(

Might as well delete my post above it makes no sense without being able to really follow the thread progression.

This is a photo thread guys.

Seems like it is time to get out the snow shovels....wait it's only July...

[DR.FORD]

(unlike the earlier high 8 where he forgot to turn it on). It would have been an interesting pass, that's for sure.
I forgot a couple times, and once it cost a piston (when I was on pump gas!)
I eventually had all the switches in line, so when I roll in the water, all the toggles are up.
You got sooo much stuff on your mind, it's easy to forget!!
Once again, great job guys!:thumbsup

How do you turn on an intercooler?

[DR.FORD]

How do you turn on an intercooler?

It is actually turning on the bilge pump inside of the intercooler water/ice tank, which circulates cold water through the water to air intercooler-


or you can kiss it all over and dry hump it. It's up to you!!
