Tuning complete. Time for the track!

[Tommy V]

Where do these 1.3s come from? I doubt a car that weighs 4100 pounds with me in it. Is cutting 1.3s. My traction is perfect this year. The logs look great. I don't remove any weight. And I run 93 octane. I'm just not seeing a 1.3 out of this car. If your getting a 1.3 your either removing weight from your car. Or your running on a different supercharger.

Nah Blue i was with him when has run 1.3's mulitple times.His car weighs about 3900 hu dred pounds without him.He is running a 3.48 pulley anx e85 though.I have mid 1.4 60 foot with car and my stall is about a 3600 rpm stall.

It's doable. I've been 1.42 just stomping the gas. With a tiny blower too. I'll be in the 1.3x easy when I swap to e85 and put the 3.85 on it.

Adding Toe rods, and LCA bearing to the list..... Addiction probs. Didn't want to add those later and have to get it aligned again. Will be a few weeks before results

Still waiting on CB005..... I guess BMR has moved facilities, and way busy still catching up... got everything tore down and got the lower control arm bearings in tonight. What a #%^*#++%*#^#%^}*#*+#+#%***#+++{{**}^#^#%% those are. Getting the control arms out sucks, getting the bushing pressed out is a real peach.... 20 ton press, custom cup to not put pressure and crack the arm, custom pusher plate and bar to clear the throat of the control arm to not hit the press, and heat the arm a little to release the bushing sleeve, then when it finally broke loose it sounded like the control arm snapped in two. 2 drops of pee came out. Bearings press in easy as can be. tomorrow drop the cradle and do pumpkin bushings, and cradle alignment sleeves, and get control arms back in.

LOLOLOL. Wonder how much all that work and 2 drops of pee will be worth?

This thread is awesome btw good luck!

Yea i helped my buddy do lower control are bushings,one came right out and the other was a mother f!!!!!!!!.But yea on the press when it finally broke loose sounded like a gun shot lol.

Still waiting on CB005... Got it all back together and drove last night. DAMN what a difference. A little firmer ride, but not harsh at all. The ONLY NVH increase was a little gear whine at 60+ which was expected with diff bushings. Off to the alignment shop tomorrow. It actually held 2nd gear on the street slow rolling into the throttle about 30 mph!

Ahright man!!!Get back to the track and get some numbers lol

CB005's still haven't even shipped... But right now it's not the end of the world. It's raining this weekend, and the next 3 weekends will be running the race cars.

So while it just sits there I have decided to do surgery on the exhaust! Going to be Frankensteining some Chebby active mufflers into it. ZL1 Camaro quads. Picked some up for hellas cheap on the facespace.

 

[Jay-rod427]

Damn these mufflers sound good! Need to get a sound clip uploaded to youtube or something to be able to post.

Also had a damn good weekend on the craps table so gonna order some shocks to complete this back end action except for halfshafts.

@beefcake got them in stock, or vendor dropship?

Still no word from BMR on the CB005's...
