????QUESTION???
When doing a drag race, what RPM do you "Charge" before releasing the clutch ?
because yesterday I had a hard time making my car start without "drifting"

sounds like its time for stickier tires, Ive only dragged once with this kit, and it was pretty hard to loosen the tires up, I do have sticky 275s in the rear though,,, I dropped it around 4500rpm,,,

Yep - tyres are not sticky enough... Need more traction. You can't get an answer like that from a forum. You need to work it out yourself, from experience.

4500 RPM - *****

Cheers,
Hymee.

hahaah yeah I like to eeeaaasssee it in in first,,,

Bastage and Marsreddr go to the track all the time,,, they will probably tell ya 6-7K, or something,,,

JMKuco

6-7K ?? this is too much High due to the wheels power given by pettit !
by the way, I was looking a way too cool the air intake and / or the intercooler+ rad.
What do you guys think of Co2 ?
air intake kit

This works for me:
Drop the rear tire pressure to 20-24 pounds.
Rev the engine to about 4000 to 5000 rpm, do no add throttle till the clutch is fully engaged.

Bastage can leave at 6K with drag radials.

If you can't leave at max power then you haven't got enough grip, and your missing out on some tenths. And if something breaks, then it was too weak to begin with

Hymee.

That's a very harsh but fair summation of dragging I reckon!

Agree, however this should give you a baseline. Play around with it (rpmwise) until you find a sweetspot

1- I've got a hard time finding a website for my SC V-belt (help wanted)

2- I decided to remove my brand new Re-Medy thermostat (used 1 week)...I'm gonna brake the OEM Ttat so that the coolant always go through !

3- A friend of mine (used to work at frerrari's garage) told me to add a turbo to the pettit blower ! what a coooollll idea !!! I am not that fool (for now) but I will be excited to see that

4- finaly did some of you found a way to change the "coolant reservoir" ?

DONT RUN WITHOUT A THEMOSTAT!! It will run serious hot!
The bypass system has to be either operational or totally blocked off and the thermostat is part of it.
You have a second radiator yet?
the coolant resovir--i placed a Moroso tank there.

Summit Racing stocks the belt and you should get it in a couple of days just order off the computer.......

I assume you mean the s/c coolant tank, Denny came up with the Moroso tank and I adopted it- works great.

Hey Phil--your car is looking beter and better man. Sorry but I havent been able to get my hands on any auto motor mounts---if you find some send them to me and I will do them for
"special rate " will apply as I need a beta auto tester--just give me an objective write up is all
I am about to send out one set now for manual beta testing (other than my own car). There are more to mounts than I oridginally thought. But boy do they make a difference!
Stay tuned.
Man does my car like the Rick E engine + Cams kit with the larger pulley etc + this cooler weather. Driven a lot of cars and I know by my butt it is putting down more than 300! Have around 700 miles on it now so i can increase the rpm and load a little. Still havent gone full throttle or redlined yet. have taken it to 7K

I checked with the yards here and they tell me all 8s go to Phoenix so there are none in the yards here. I've been keeping my eyes and ears open for a set of them.

i heard a rumor that no more kits will be built and there are 2 left. Compressor manufacture problems. x fingers. Seems they want Cam to buy 50 at the time. In this economy you would think they would sell what they could?
Hope this does not come true.

If I had the money I'd order one tonight.

I hope that it's just a rumor and not fact............

Hymee

iTrader: (1)

They actually stopped making those compressors about 12 months ago. That is why I have moved on to something better :evil

Cheers,
Hymee.

JMKuco

did you guys change the fuel injector for bigger ones ?

DarkLord7854

Got it straight from Cam, he says at this time he doesn't know what's going to happen, he's looking at alternatives, but there won't be any kits for a while, and the 09/10 kits are on indefinite hold.

The 2 he has left are already sold also.

olddragger

iTrader: (3)

this means what we have is a very limited run (world wide speaking) and we are very special hell always knew that anyway. Hope things work out and thanks DarkLord for letting us know.

Well, DAMN!

Here I am with 2/3rds of the price saved up, and nothing left to buy.

Turbos are not the answer, I have no idea what Hymee's got up (down?) his sleeve, so where does that leave the FI wannabe?

EMart11b

iTrader: (5)

Right now it's looking like **** outta luck.

Only one lysholm blower manufacturer exports to the US.

Some good samaritan with deep pockets needs to go to Sweden and bring a bunch back

DarkLord7854

I contacted Hymee, they said their kit is ready basically, but not for 09s

It's also 9,900US$
