Jeez JC, sub 2 mins at Buttonwillow on street tires! That is blazing fast. My goal is 2:05, but I definitely need a lot more seat time. What street tires was that run on?

congrats. How do you like their stroker kit?

mxpop · 06-08-2008, 09:48 PM

Pharo, I did low 1:57's on my 255 Yokohama Neovas (255-40-17 per the rules) and in full street class trim (full interior, cat-convertor, etc) Thanks! I'll beat that time later in the year once the weather cools (better brakes, lighter, better settings, etc) I predict 1:55 range if everything comes together as planned and the weather cooperates.

Oscar, The tires in that pic are my mod class tire/wheel setup (my only change when jumping up to mod) and they are Yokohama A048's in 285-35-18.

Steel, the stroker motor doesnt feel all that diff than their 2.5 but I can rev it a lot higher due to the better crank i now have (it does make boost slightly sooner). The ability to rev longer really helps in many ways. We have a very conservative tune that never dets or does anything bad. Next year when we are out of street class, we will pull off the cat and run better fuel and add another 100whp as well as make some major chassis/setup improvements as we will be in mod/unlimited.

Thanks for the props guys!
