the world wants to know what an end user of the single turbo is trapping at a NHRA track.

I don't get how all of these people all of a sudden realized they can't shift to 5th... had they never tried a run to that speed before?

valid point.. however if i was going to such an event and paying that kind of money, i would have been damn sure it would make the shift. Every time i go to the track i ensure i have clean logs and no issues running to at least 120-125 b4 i show up. I would think the same logic would apply.

yes that would be impressive, but no excuse for no timeslips after all this time
if they can show up and pay for shift sector they can pay 20 or so bucks for a dragstrip test and tune.

1. Nobody got humiliated.
2. Paying 400$ and having 2 full days to SAFELY run and tune your car at 100mph+ is well worth for some people. If u get caught doing 100+ on the street, u'll be out much more than a few hundred dollars. 3. Next time just show up and race |

Hit 5th gear a few times in mexico without an issue but I'm not at ST or RB power levels.
I still want to see more customer ST 1/4 trap speeds. I think cuppertino's are the only ones out there right now? Someone correct me cause I can't remember. |

Even if your car wasn't running good so what? Good time to figure out what's wrong and address the issue. It is very hard to do even 130mph on freeway without worrying about traffic, cops, bumps ect. I bet people who went had a blast |

Seriously this. I wouldn't care if the singles run a 13.3@127mph or whatever as the trap speed alone tells just how much power its really putting down. |

I think everyone needs to calm down. This is the first time the Single 6AT guys have hit the pavement running the cars like this. I guarantee that the 6AT issues will be resolved for the good of the entire community and all the drama queens will have to eat their words. My cars motor and turbo kit performed perfectly, however the transmission had the same glitches that the RB guys had. I simply decided to test and tune to a certain point then call it. I'm in no way going to damage my Trans for a race. What we do with this transmission will help all those who have upgraded turbos period.
Patience is a virtue and those on this forum and others need that. As for spending $400 to test and tune that's really a small price to pay to do so safely and as an adult should. I do not recommend, nor have I ever recommended running your car on the street at these speeds. This is exactly why myself and the other two single turbo guys have not run our cars on public streets at this level. I think I speak for myself and the two others when I say our cars run perfectly on the street and such we are very happy with the results. We are however true enthusiasts so we will place out money where our mouth is to improve this platform and are confident that we will do so. All those that have not spent the $ and the hard work of making history in my opinion really do not have an opinion. I leave you with "Patience" don't get ahead of your self. PS Captain Insano and his Single 6MT ran everything he could and did great. Wait for the vids to hit the forum his car is a beast he also asked to race the RB car and was ignored. |

if you are 6 hours from the nearest strip cool, that's understandable. but I guarantee that's not the case for every person with a single.

and trust me, I know busy. I spend 28 (24 hour) days a year flying between the oilfield on the arctic ocean in Alaska and my home state of Florida. I could easily afford the "kit" and make time to run tons of quarter mile passes. Until I see real world results I'll hold off on deciding the route to go with upgraded turbos.

I'll have a VBOX and GoPro with me as well. Now the question is do I go for gold on the launch or baby it (still on stock half-shafts)?
