well i on sunday i finally ran ona set of 24.5 x 8.5 x 13" m&h slicks.

first run at low boost -10 psi 12.349@111.47 not bad !
2nd run at 10 psi in 1st and then 20 psi 2nd -4th 11.875@122.46 great !but still not my best e.t! sorry 60'
4th run 8psi in 1st and then 20psi 2nd-4th----11.55@122.12
5th run about the same except on the rev limiter in 2nd &3rd
11.71@124.24


and then it happened 6th run a BUSTED TRANNY ; blew out 3rd gear!

all in all it was a good day even though i had a tranny problem and it happen in the semi- finals so i didnt get paid for qualifying #1 or beating the others in the 1 st round

Excellent times!
What type of boost controller are you running?

greddy profec-b with remote switch

hey sorry to hear about the tranny. but its cool that you ran a :cool: 11.55. if you werent in 5th than the taller gearing seems to have worked. Are you gonna repair it yourself?? if so id be happy to stop by and lend a hand.


i talked to warren and its a shame he sold his car. fortunately hes on to better things like... Trucks??:eek: ugh nevermind :rolleyes:

Holy $HIT!!! I think you may have posted this already, but what exactly is in your car again? I know you are running an Fmax Stage II plus, but what else is under the hood that's making you go so fast?

'97 Fmax SE-R

My setup is is an fmax manifold ceramic coated but the rest is custom not a f-max kit!!

nathan i'd be glad to have you help i will be working on it this weekend !! i have a garage for my car now in the complex!!!

Holy crap! Nice times! About time someone knew how to drive with the FMAX kit! I see way too many guys running 12's when they should be running 11's.

Great Job!

Congradulations on a job well done...keep it coming

that is great!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry your tranny broke.

who cares if his 2rd went out, the man still did 11 sec 1/4 i am sure hes got at least 3 tranny in his garage waiting for swap.

Good Times !!! MAN I HOPE My times will be that low when I get my turbo rebuild and MSD.

Insaneser was your tranny shotpeened and cryotreated?, what kind of gear oil are you using? Congrats really impressive times.

i was going to ask that same question? cryo treated??

that was the stock transmission that came in the car with 83000 miles on it !!

and i do not have a spare i need to get a spare and start to rebuild the one that came in the car!!


If anyone can help with getting a transmission , who and where from , i would appreciate it .
and also what kind of treatment can be done to make the tranny stronger !!
what is james farrer doing for his tranny???

this may be a STUPID question but...

Could the final drive be numerically reduced to lessen the amount of torque sent through it and possibly reduce the shock the gears take???? i hate seeing people go thru trannies like popsicles:(

You can cryotreat and shotpeen your gears. I cryotreated mine @ http://www.frozenrotors.com/ they charged me $100.00 wich is their minimum charge. Shotpeening ( I didn't do it, found out about it too late) don't know any place, but I'm sure someone will.
Another cryotreating place:

I heard a rumor that Place Racing has some sort of metal insert specifically made for our transmission that can be welded in to make it stronger. I never called to see if it was true.

I know that some people have welded in material. There was an article in Turbo or SCC once about a guy with a turbo orange Classic who did it.

the case didnt crack it is just the gearset ,specifically 3rd gear .

i have all the es mm it is very stiff .
i'm looking more towards internals.

what has most of the high hp cars done

If u need a tranny try Brian @ sleeper motorsport in CALI. 909-884-4084. I think he's got a couple of them.
