That's what GTR's do!

Don't compare a vastly superior awd setup. Lol seriously.

My original suggestion was to remove ptu, driveshaft, and put in a longer axle. Put wides on front and skinnies on back. Of course you would have to borrow suspension tricks from those 8second fwd Honda civics. I think the current "awd" setup is most likely slipping the clutches on launch. I'm just trying to push people to try new things. Realistically you can gain a lot on the track beyond the 60ft mark. You ever watch high hp cars launch bad and then run people down before the end? A lot of deep 10sec trucks are 1.7-1.8 60ft.

So I was looking at Dragy and I did log a 0-130 pull. Very interesting to compare to @Jordan_R. Jordan did his Dragy on the street with no nitrous, and I was on the track with a 25 nitrous shot Pre Ic 1-3 gear and from 3-5 plus a 75 shot Pre TB. Look at Jordan’s top end 60-130 compared to mine! Like 2 tenths!! Crazy! No matter what,B53ADCFB 4650 4077 AB63 CA23D658B1F1 0F6FCB59 D03E 4257 B2B9 FDF5A6FD4758 1ED6C837 BE0B 423A 8A9B 50B28E7A9DC4 66ECB7ED A85B 483B 85B0 4994209E7265 I believe Jordan will pull on me. He’s got top end for Days!!!!!

Wish I would had gotten an opportunity to run that set up down the strip!

Wish I had a setup that could record my 60-130 times back in the day, would be interesting to see what the TurboSHO ran. Need to get the RansomSHO up and running and see what that T-trim at 20psi and nitrous does for a 60-130. How much are these Dragy units?

Very accurate. Usually slower by a few hundredths than your real time. So 99% accurate. https://www.amazon.com/dragy-10Hz-Based-Performance-Meter/dp/B077KKPMTB


99% at a track with good satellite coverage. I've gone to martin's track (way out in the boonies) twice now and it is wildly off from the time slip sometimes. Like two full tenths one run, next run it might be a few hundreths off. It makes the trip to the time shack a lot more exciting now tho. I used to feel like I had a clue what the slip would say, now I just hope it's off two tenths again every trip. LOL!

When I was at the track I don’t know why but somehow I kept forgetting to record the Dragy video. So I literally had no clue until I got to the slip booth. Dragy messes up sometimes for me. Once it said I ran an 11.75 but it was an 11.90....other than that it’s slow. Sometimes about 7 hundredths

I've never done video with dragy at strip, but I try to get every run. Every other track it's within 6 hundredths, almost always slower than slip. This one track tho, two visits now and it's a crapshoot. Dragy had 12.00 and I was ****** down entire return road, which is a long drive due to avoiding potholes every 30 feet, and slip was 11.80. I was like well shit ok, f*ck off dragy!!

Before my draggy:

Livewire: best 0 to 60 mph: 4.25 seconds
Livewire: 1/4 mile: 12.68 @109

Track Slip: 12.56 @108.91

Full Bolt Ons (Minus Turbos)

Draggy: best 0 to 60 mph: 4.28 seconds
Livewire: best 0 to 60 mph: 3.96 seconds

Draggy: best 1/4 mile: 12.48 @ 110.63
Livewire: best 1/4 mile: 12.19 @ 114.8

I don't have a new set up drag pass however, after the A2w IC setup is in and sorted I will run all the tests again.

I have a hard time believing my Draggy is accurate. There is no way my SHO is only .8 hundredths quicker and only picked up 1 mph in the 1/4 between tune only to FBO (minus turbos).

I think my draggy is full of shit.

Definitely seems to depend at least a bit on satellite coverage. Fwiw, the two 1/4's I did with livewire and dragy at same time, the livewire was a couple tenths slower each time.

Are those comparisons the same pass?

Every single test my LiveWire was faster.

Always been within a tenth for me and only one instance direct comparing at strip it was one hundredth faster. It's a gps device it'll have discrepancies with short data but better more refined in the longer runs. Even then it's a gps device so gotta take it to only a certain level of accuracy but if 49 of 50 passes are within a certain level of closeness then it's great info to have when not at the strip
