Re: My v6 Drag Week build
You were using the 205s at the track?
Fat sidewall, (70) larger diameter 205s would never hold much of a launch on my van. (Hold on brake at 2000RPM, then throttle modulate, which would probably be an effective 1500 RPM, if I just went "into it" from 2000 they'd fry) In fact after the shift kit they would squeak going in second or third, when I was hard on the throttle.. Those were fairly grippy Kumhos. I could burn them on sharp kickdown from a 30mph roll. I know this is auto vs stick, but that's also a larger diameter by about half an inch and an effective 2nd gear ratio, though torque multiplied.
The Nexen 215s I have on now, so far I have had trouble breaking loose, but the van has been on the sick list.

Get 225/50's if you have to run street tires.
Re: My v6 Drag Week build
Low 13's, 2685 lbs =225whp?

2.1's are pretty good.
Slicks
LSD
Maybe a 2 step so you can launch consistantly.
Gearing?
More power, :eyebrows: I don't think 225 hp will cut it.
Re: My v6 Drag Week build
Yeah, but that is 225HP of V6 GRUNT, not that buzzy Honda horsepower you 2.2/2.5 guys deal with :D :p ;-) ...
... okay I'm kidding, but it does seem to be something of a problem in that you can quickly overwhelm any grip you managed to find with these with minor upgrades, it all goes on the bottom too :( ... SMEC programming doesn't help though, it's like torque from 0 rpm to 2000, then fall on it's face because it pulled timing for emissions then turn it on again at 2700 ish.....then you fall off the cam at 5000.
Re: My v6 Drag Week build
2.2 dodge = 225hp and 400tq
1.6 honda = 350hp and 210tq
fail
as far as grip is concerned.. the launch was the only thing slowing this car down as far as grip goes. I think the slicks will be enough BUTTT a diff pin at the min should be used imo because youl be doing burnouts before every run more than likely. an obx is preferable though. slicks and obx would make such a killer difference

Re: My v6 Drag Week build
Wow, still!
annnnd I was doubtful, but couldn't find any info that even hints different.. was plowing through DDG, but I guess the cars in the 13s were on the bottle.
Kinda makes me wanna start trying hard with this brick... was dreaming of touching in the top of the 14s... damn, I'm just gonna have to F up my oilpan to get a real header on it aren't I?

Not really, just run a Diamante pan.

Yes... I have a turbo 3LV6 car. This one is to see what I can do with the normally-aspirated setup.
I have slicks. I plan on getting an OBX. I plan on going to a full coilover setup to make tuning the suspension "easier."
Will 225whp be enough? Don't know. Can I find more power? Time will tell.
Right now I am trying to get the 36-1 wheel and hall-effect working right.

I am looking modifying Grand Prix 3800 headers.

Rare as hens teeth here, but could order one I guess... Just would like to clap eyeballs on one first.
(Mitsu no sell anything in Canada until mid 2000s)

Hell I just found one on ebay before I posted for like 45 USD :D
Re: My v6 Drag Week build
I was hooking 23/7/15 slicks off the 5800 limiter in my 3.0 dynasty on Wednesday even with no burnouts.. Best 60' was only 2.08. I was able to spin them if i dumped it but other than that they hooked. Ran 15.2@88
I actually think the next step to improve my 60' is raise my rev limiter. :p
