Another new fast B6 out there…jdubya.
Looks like he definitely knows how to launch the car with a couple of 1.7 60’ times too.

Really nice modlist too…

Anyone know him?
He’s on AZ IIRC?
Get him on here so we can all slap on the back for another great time for the 8E V8’s. (I’m using the 8E term these days so saki can still be part of the gang ;D ) Interesting he has the Southbend Clutch, I thought that was more of a QW thing 
good times for the stock exhaust manifolds. As far as the clutch I know a few guys who went SB before JHM has theirs on the market
Its really a shame N02 is WAYYY too expensive in Ontario. I would have considered going that route but after calling a few places its between 8-10$ a Litre. So more or less 50$ to fill a bottle. That adds up quick!
how long does a bottle last? What sized bottle are you referring to anyway?
sure, PM him. I don’t really know him other than a couple of posts on EA. He was a little frustrated when he ran 12.7 IIRC. He needs to know that it takes time to get your best ET. I ran 13.36 as my best one week, then 13.27 the next, then 13.21 the next, all with the same modlist…and all with about 10 passes on the day It just takes time. It’s no surprise that the fastest guys (Jaybquick, cabracco85, 91GL in our world, and primetime in B8 world), are the guys who go the most. They eliminate all the bad variables and keep trying. I didn’t run 12.9 with just 2.5 dp/exhaust and tune by going once to the strip and then getting frustrated. I had 13 runs that day, and the 13th was the 12.9.
There are a bunch of good stock manifold times now, including cabracco’s 12.0, JHM’s other B6 SC tip going 12.30 with Dan driving, jdubya’s 12.48 and bluerocket’s 12.58. When jaybquick went 12.29 with nitrous was it headers, or just nitrous + 2.5 FI fullback?
The most “common” trunk size what is it 5 lbs? Or is it 10?
I must be thinking of the 10 pound one… My buddy filled his up here not long ago and it cost him 85$
I bet you’d take a while to use it up. Also, $3000 for the kit + 100 bottles at $50 is still cheaper than the supercharger.
I mentioned stock manifolds in regards to the nitrous cars becuase it makes a much bigger difference than the supercharged cars. While the decomposed nitrous has a higher content of 02, and therefore a lower combustion gas volume per specific output, it doesnt have the increased pressure differential the supercharged cars do. I could do some math to relate what boost level is necessary compared to what shot size to make the supercharged car work better with the stock manifolds but suffice to say without some static pressure to force the air out the sprayed cars are gonna choke off with stock manifolds. Iirc cabracco85s 12.0 run had a 116 trap on a 100 shot?
Im not going to pretend to be Tops at math. I can just relate for the hotrod stuff Ive been threw over the years. Maybe a little less complicated terms for me.
The N02 still needs to be pulled into the motor Via vac of the motor/pistons. This takes some of the positive effect of chemical enhancement out. N02 cars run with LOADS of Tq and a steady feed of HP. STill when you look at a power chart of a N02 car it stays within the curve (less the power initiation) of the motor.
If any of this babel makes sense it was meant to say on N02 motor mods are more usfull then on boosted cars due to the motor still is using its base component to bring in air/power. Also where a boosted car makes more power faster as the RPM’s go up. The N02 cars keep with the motor curve. So believe it or not. If done right N02 is safer for the motor then boost.
impressive results by the way.
great point…I’d never have thought about that.
x2, this was I was describing from the theoretical side. The motor is still normally aspirated, nothing is forcing it in. Iirc when designing headers for nitrous cars you are supposed to compensate pretty significantly as the shot gets bigger.
Thanks for posting Saki! That was the first run of the day before the clutch let go. Slipped on that run in every gear. My second try went right to red line in 2nd so I let out and parked it. Spoke with Andy @ SB and he said it was because I put too much heat in it. Me and a few others agree that’s total BS. Looks like I’ll need to step up to a JHM clutch.
hey jdubya…great run and welcome to AR. Great way to make a splash lol
That sucks about the clutch. Sorry to hear it. What is your launching technique?
I try to launch around 3000-3200. That seems to be where I cut the best 60. I imagine with a better clutch I could do a little better.
I had a 600WHP Terminator Cobra before the S4 and I couldn’t get a good launch to save my life. Much easier with AWD. ;D
Welcome to AR jdubya!
X2 on the clutch, should help out with keeping that monster power to the wheels.
is the southbend setup equipped with a LWFW similar (in weight) to the JHM LWFW?
Yes. It’s a steel one piece unit. Not quite as light at the JHM setup.
Jhm lwfw is 13 lbs I think (stock is 26)
I love my LWFW. Completely changed high rpm shifting.
