Darlington Sunday

restoman45 · 01-16-2014, 01:18 PM

Anybody else going to Darlington on Sunday for test n tune? I just booked my trailer rental from U-haul, and slicks/skinnies are on, so barring a catastrophe I will be there.

U-Haul rents trailers,

I always thought that it was just come pick them up and take it whenever you want..... damn most of the grudge racers that I see at Dorchester Dragway must be spending a lot of money renting U-Haul trailer they have one every week...

Hmm...I wonder if they were "permanently borrowed" or they bought old ones? Because they definitely aren't free lol...

We used to "borrow" them to move cars around town lol

Come race my truck at Darlington.

RoadconeTuning · 01-16-2014, 04:40 PM

idk if i'll have the new master cylinder in my hands by then yet or not...

BIRDMAN · 01-16-2014, 04:42 PM

You won't need it. I'll leave the bed cover and spare tire and receiver on there to compensate. lol

Weird...he and I have talked before about what his car runs and it was definitely not a 11 second car, nor an "upper 7s". His car should be about the same as the truck.

lol, VCM OTR intake, Powerbond 25% underdrive, SLP headers, midmuffler delete and replaced with x-pipe, obxr axlebacks. internetz claims stock is 365ish and 420-430 with what i have done to the car. i found a post from the previous owner saying it made 414/408 at PCMforLess with the rotofab intake and headers only after a tune.

I've only made one pass in the car and launched wayyyyy slow to make sure it didnt wheelhop. I had literally driven from the tire shop to the track on a set of brand new all seasons. i shifted slower than normal to keep it from hopping as well and it went a 8.7x@86.8 on a 2.29 60-ft before i changed to the better intake, added the under drive and changed the exhaust except for the headers which were on it when i got it.

as horribly slow as that time is... it was a new personal best on all fronts lol... cobalt and mustang both went 9.4@80, i never ran the cobalt once the boost was turned up and it had the bad ass clutch.
