lightninquick,


Can you post times? I guess the KB trucks won, but its hard to tell from that video.

 

Looks like the red truck won both races. He definitely got the win light in the race against the True Blue but I couldn't tell in the first video. Close races nonetheless.

 

No the red one Red lit Rick I was runing 17#s of boost to Ricks 23#s
11.00 to a 11.2 look out when i turn up the boost to 23#s on this 2.6 dragn That was boost only Here is a small shot 10.8 http://media.putfile.com/Cowman-nitrous-run-108




There was a 40to50 mph head wind to. ILL be waiting for LACR.

 

I cant wait to see this race! Jim (jdm) is a good bracket racer he cuts good lights everytime ive seen him race. I wouldnt miss this for anything. does it have to be only trucks or can i bring my shelby?

 

the red truck is mine,,,,the silver truck ran a 11.15 in the race i posted,,,,the blue one ran a best of 11.2 (with no nitrous) and mine ran a 11.0

the whipple truck ran the fastest mph and the quickest E.T.

i had to crack the throttle on every run,,,,if you watch the videos again you will see the red truck had some weird stuff happening off the line.

i really hope this doesnt come off like im trying to bash the kb,,,im not,,,the cowmans truck was spining the blower slower then i was(thats why waxed him so easily,,lol) but the silver one was spinning it just as hard as i was.

im not sure the big kb reacts like the whipple when you turn up the spin

im sure these trucks will have a few more heads up races (they both are my best racin buddies),,,well maybe not now

when jim comes out im sure its gonna be fun

 

I owned both Whipple and KB last year and experienced rotor problems with both.
KB.....rotors locked against case....Kenne Bell replaced immediately no problem.
Whipple... rotors chipped did not lock up. Whipple replaced immediately.
No problem with either KB or Whipple...both have excellent customer service and warranty departments.

 

i got some scuffing on my rotors,,,i ran 23lbs of boost with out the new fangled snout brace that ronnie designed i never replaced them it dont hurt it a bit

 

Nice runs Lquick, I see the red truck has more in it based on what appears to be a hesitation then the truck hits hard and spins a little, once thats dialed et will pick up for sure. BTW, what was the d.a. and the mph for the 3 trucks? Goodluck with your launch issue.

 

im not sure what the da was,,,but the track is like 1500 feet above sea level,,,,the track was not sticky at all,,,,the silver truck was pulling 1.4 60's two days before,,,,that day it could only pull 1.6's

we also had very strong head winds

my truck was only hesitating because i was lifting and searching for grip with the throttle,,,,i only had a 1.8 60' on that run with the silver truck ,,,but i was realing him in

the best mph was 122.789,,,that was me

 

Here is my replay.
On Saturday 12-2-06, the SOCALOC got together at Fontana Raceway
for their Street Race test and tune. They limit the number of cars to 400.
We had a good turn out with about 15 Lightnings.
We had two Kenne Bell 2.6, Dante built motor Lightnings and one
Whipple, JLP built motor Lightning.
All the are trucks are street legal at about 4400-4500#s
These are some of the top trucks here in Calia without NOS.

Now everyone says the true test is on the drag strip.
Run what you got, a win is a win, so no times are given.
The Whipple powered truck did good but lost 3 out of 3 races.
To bad his best pass had a -.003 light.
The Whipple was making 25#s boost in the morning runs.

Yes there is video.

There are exceptions but one thing I've noticed is that the mph is typically a little higher with the whipple. Around these parts anyway. Seems like with my 2.3 kb it hangs with the whip up to 18#s anything north of 18 and the whippy starts to shine.

 

Nice run cowman. That thing lauched hard.
