...and that's how the horsepower wars get kicked into high gear...
Mooney; that JATO thing is lookin' like an option... :shemademe_smilie:

Yeah, it might be an option. What scares me is Altonk's mention that he was not a full throttle. Do JATO's come in six-packs?

 

[Bob Denman]

You'll have to pin your ears back, grease up your ribcage and pick the lint out of your bellybutton to hten up for this race! :yes: :firstplace:
..and therell be Al... :spyder2:

I m fairly sure a six pack option would be easy enough to come by; however, keep in mind what always happened to Wiley E. Coyote in the Road Runner cartoons. :yikes:

Yeah, I'm afraid about that. Bellybutton lint will be all that's left of me!
You really need to see this turbo in action. It's so smooth, its scary.

You know something? You're making this "Olphart" 's palms start to sweat...:shocked: :2excited::shemademe_smilie::yes:

 

[altonk]

It's a blast but my rear tire is fading fast

 

[SpyderWolf]

It's a blast but my rear tire is fading fast

I was wondering about that as well. How many miles do you think you may get out of your rear tire now? Have you given any thought to what tire you will replace it with next?

 

[altonk]

I think I'm gonna stick with the hankooks
It's the only 45 profile tire I can find that isn't a autocross dry tire

 

[Rider Steve]

We need drag strip video.

Hopefully they are fairly inexpensive. :roflblack:

 

[altonk]

They are $117 not too bad planning on a rear per season

 

[SpyderWolf]

That is what I paid for my g-Force Sport, and I burned through the Kenda stock tire in my first year. I figure one tire a year will not be too bad at all. :thumbup:

Congrats on the turbo Altonk. When I get my head together a bit more We'll have to have more technical talks about the dynamics the turbo brings to the platform. I imagine it's pretty dramatic. I also want to know where you are with the rear wing project, but we can do that later.

But congrats man. I bet you are pretty stoked.

 

[altonk]

Stiffer sidewalls and the compound is softer
I never look at that annoying speedo thing anyway that's what the rev limiter and those flashing red and blue lights are for

The shorter tires make for a lower effective gear ratio too

 

[Bob Denman]

Better launches...:2thumbs:

:roflblack: Are you still able to get good insurance rates? :roflblack:

 

[altonk]

Been lucky so far
Good situational awareness and radar detector
