THUNDER ROAD RESULTS

[crisisjez]

Just got in, hope you all had a great time.
Thanks to all who came, either running or to support.
A big thank you to Javelin for hosting the event, without their resources it would be impossible for us to have such a day.
The was an issue with Javelins new timing software which spat out the dummy. That meant the results were delayed sufficiemtly to scupper the awards presentation, I will endeavour to get your bling to you if you are owed one.

Below is a list of best mile speed and best 1/4 time for each runner.
I have to be up at 0400 for work and will be away for a few days to excuse me if I don't announce the winners of each class tonight, but if you have an A by your name you are a class winner

He has VXR8 LS3 with the MF Magic cam and full Wortec headers, cat back and sports cats.
The only difference between Simons(justsoldit)and ours is we have OTRCAI and not the cam.
Si your no muppet, your cars strong and did some excellent times. Like Jez said it must be to do with the cam.
I dont really understand how it works. But i know you were hitting certain speeds in certain gears and getting no further. I was driving the same as you but wasn't getting the same problem.
Simon, tell these guys(tech brain boxes) exactly what was wrong and they will work it out for you

Didn't realise that it was at 155 you were hitting the limiter. I'd say you have Non std gearing .
No way should you be on the limiter in 5th at 155.

Sorry but we never discussed speed on the day so I assumed you were talking 160-70 speeds, and I was just saying a cam would help with airflow at the top end over a stock setup.

Stick the cruise on at 70 in 5th and take a note of the rpm it gives you, stick it on the forum and hopefully someone else will do the same and you can compare the numbers to see if they match.

Yeah it is a very good result for the car, the rate it catches me above 140mph is worrying!

I guess thats why you want a centri.

Haha not quite, not a fan of the way the PD delivers its power that much.

I have the best part of a brand new 700hp stealth TT kit I don't need

The complexity of those kits worries me some what, not just the kits themselves but the actual getting them set up and running side of it!

Are you sure you dont wnat to bolt this kit onto yours for that bit extra power? lol

No more complex than a Centri blower TBO
(Ok, so twice as much work though)

[crisisjez]

More than welcome, was hoping your dad was going to make the last one.

[crisisjez]

I saw that too.
They all seem to wendy off thre line like I do though jamie
(You may have to adapt your driving style a bit with your new engine)

Im hoping to crack 200mph next time, i have a couple of hundred more bhp and a lot higher rev limit now.

Edited by jamiep on Sunday 18th July 13:54

Nice one Jamie, good luck
I'll not make the 200 this time, gearing and cam say no

What did you do the time before last? iirc you was not far off.

Just fit some taller tyres, i can change my gearing massively with tyres.

Edited by jamiep on Sunday 18th July 23:29

Did a 193.3... want to do the run as is. So no add on bits purely for the day, I'll get there, just not this time

[crisisjez]

I'll start a Thread closer to the time chaps
