blown shos and ET's...

[DavidT]

anyone have any ET's you wanna share? I went to the track tonight (1/8 mile).
squint
It was a joke.
Of course, I was afraid to launch it hard (no quaife). But still... times were HORRIBLE. My sick 90 had better times than this!
I also had a time shifting... this cable shifter is ROUGH... very HARD to engage... especially 3rd.
No doubt the power is THERE, but harnessing it must be a challenge.
1st gear, prior to 4500 rpms there was some hesitation... almost like a MISS
Check engine light is on... I need to see whats up...

Did you buy this car thinking it would be fast in the 1/8th mile?

The SHO is already a poor drag car. Add a ton of peak power, and its only going to get worse.

 

[DavidT]

just curious, thats all

 

[Chris Benvie]

David, please please please get the quaife, its only gonna get worse, as in BOOM! Get some drag radials as well. Without these too that car is gonna suck when it comes to the track.

Get that rod shifter in there ASAP!

Amen to what Chris said, but don't forget the HD axles or a coupla extras to replace after the slicks snap 'em! oh

Congrats David on getting that car.

The Quaife would be a must, ive heard that car is superclean, i guess no more posts by you about lack of horsepower. thumb

Oh yea that car is ill, fo shizzle. But it just needs that quaife,and like DemonNEMO said some heavy duty axles won't hurt either thumb

 

[PROPHET]

I'm real happy for both you guys. thumb

 

[midospike]

You don't need a quaife.. lol oh . David can control the power..... Remember david... can't stress enough. BE CAREFUL!!! burnout

Does Josh sell HD axles? Any idea on a price for a set?

 

[SHOMurph]

Make the HD axles your last purchase. Not that they are bad. I'm looking forward to purchasing some once we get the tranny breaking thing resolved.

You really much rather have an axle snap than a tranny go boom. Its much easier to change an axle.

Make the HD axles my last purchase after what else?

 

[SHOMurph]

After putting in a quaife and the tranny upgrade....which people are working on.

 

[DemonNeno]

Chris, what the hells with the Nemo man? I get that too much... throwup lol..

Murph, have you guys been updated on the trans upgrade bid? Any prices?

I've got a Quaife, but I don't have the $6000 for Josh's gearset.

Can you choose your own ratios? Anyone aware of enhancements performed to the gearsets for the extra strength?

 

[Chris Benvie]

It is still in production right now, ask josh at shonut whats up with it, i know i am looking forward to it when it comes out, but $6000 is a lil steep.


Murph are you and tony comin up with something of your own?

For an NA SHO a quaife is enough.

For a S/C car, a quaife is a MUST!

No you can't pick your own gear ratio's. There was a post maybe a month ago which Josh explained all about the HD gear set. Here I found the thread here.
IIRC they designed some of the gears to be wider, but don't quote me on it. Also IIRC they would be around $6K and he wanted a couple people at one time buying them.

 

[fred79]

any one know if and how much a quaife transaxle would cost and if it could be made to fit?

 

[revhardSHO]

I think a quaife transaxle will run you $21,000 give or take

If i was rich...

the stock gearbox does not make for nice shifts as we all know (even with rod shifter it doesnt even come close to most european/import cars)

thats the first problem id get rid of!
