Who did your 20 upgrade? You not worried about the shafts breaking?

My car at 50mph in 3rd on stock gearing was FAR from a turd If you agree with me why did you say I was scared to run from that mph when I brought this point up earlier?

D350Z-c'mon man your using another set-ups strong points to call out a mph to run!?

Well I guess our definitions of lag are different. Its was a joke, thats why I said "scured" and not "scared". If I start in 3rd at 55, yes the car will start to pull good, but doesnt have the instant slam it does at 65.

Ive just heard that the 20g upgrade puts a lot of stress on the shaft and in some cases can cause them to snap.

Maybe eventually but 110 is doing me good right now (and it smells good too ). I have some future plans that might require some more octane, so I will wait and see!

DZ-its not that high, and Luie-its not that low, 80mph in 4th is 5000rpm's 70mph in 3rd IIRC on stock gearing is around 5500rpm's.

DZ-I pick the poison differently for different people, and what would make the best race. For example Luie's car is crazy from 5000rpm's on, so I wouldnt run him from 60mph making him go to 3rd down low and then brake boost him. We ran from 65-75mph in our runs, worked great for us both. Non drivers with stock gearing would compalin "but I have to shift right away if I start at 70mph" LOL, Luie didnt care, you gotta shift eventually!

btw DZ-what do you mean "twins are efficient at these speeds?" in regards to 5800rpm's!?! You make peak power at 6200rpm's or AFTER, of course they are good there...you have lots to learn young grasshoppa....

^Spoken like a man who knows his powerband, NA, ST even TT with stock gearing or 3.3 FD, 70mph in 3rd is the hot $hit...
