Reeves' OMNI GLH-R Update!

[Pat]

So Reeves....I was just sitting here checking is thread and my 8 year old son Sean walks up and looks over my shoulder:

Sean: Cool! Can i watch the video? (dyno video)
Me: Sure (play video)
Sean: Wow. Whose car is that?
Me: That car belongs to my friend James.
Sean: Is he famous?
Me: Yeah...he's kind of a big deal.
Sean: Yeah....

Lol!

Don't laugh a friend of mine was at/in diesel dyno day at BD's were they used a fork lift forks to preload the rear of the trucks to stop tires blowing off the rollers
on the big boys

[2.216VTurbo]

Those torque numbers are probably off. You can hear the tires squealing in the vid. Couldn't keep it from doing it at torque peak.

"belt dressing" in a spray can next time, makes the rollers sooooo sticky

[Reeves]

nice Numbers, but wow I didn't know you could still record in 240p on anything Must be a backwoods kentucky phone

LMAO! It kinda was! I didn't even think to bring a camera or anything, that was my friend Clay's video.

LMAO!!! Need an autograph?

Seriously?

I thought about my slicks....but was afraid they would get too tall and rub the fenders.

I thought about VHT or track claw.

Last dyno (503whp IIRC) was on drag radials, this was on normal street treads (Nitto NT-450). The drag radials also spun, but I don't think it was this bad. LOL

Does it torquesteer?! pffffffffffffffffffff

Torquesteer is for people with traction.

Dude! That is flipping awesome.

Has a 2.4l SRT head? WT

James, you been keeping secrets again

Man that is a cool write-up. Some of the comments are kinda misinformed lol!

Just posted the link to the GRM board.

Great stuff James!! Are there any dyno sheets posted, I'm very curious to see what RPM, or RPM's as JT would say, you are making peak H.P.

Thanks

Some non-gazer.

Seriously though, the tune on Reeves' OMNI is Warrened out.

[SilverFleet]

I've been seeing the video all over the place, and I just wanted to pop my head in here and congratulate you on building one INSANE car! Nice work!!!

Safety wise I would rather run radial tires as far as its possible. The 1000+hp fwd cars seem to avoid the dyno because their slicks come apart on the dyno and it gets dangerous.
Not problem on a dynopack.

Traction compounds would probably work better with drag radials.

thats what i thought. all true other than the the non-gazer part. lol.

Agreed.
Excessive drag slick sidewall deflection influences the dyno results and wheel slip plays havoc on the dyno calculation due to the subsequent acceleration, as the dyno drum reconnects with the tires.
A set of VHT or belt dress sprayed radials should address most of this while being safer during testing.

Congrats on your four wheel rocket and the reward of recognition, for your accomplishments.
This is indeed a cool GLHT !!

Sir James. Thanks. Well done.
