Due to the design of our cars you will need two solenoids otherwise you'll trip the check engine light.
The whole kit costs around $120

Ed at Brainstorm did the install for me contact Chris to get an estimate on how much they will charge.

my 60' foots went from 2.1 to 1.66 (best one....) on ET Street's and I hit 1.7's on BFG DR's ---note I'm turboed so you might not get quite down there....

I've done many installs myself on warm and hot engines without a problem but generally recommend a cool engine for the masses.

The install is usually less than 1.5 hours.

that's why you need two of them. The non metric fittings work as well

I'm sure your quite aware if the results get me into the 13's at LACR your gonna be a hero . I can read the headlines now "REVUP motor breaks into the 13's at LACR with only 2 mods, MOTORDYNE is a hero".

Hahaha! That would be cool but i don't think its going to cut a second off your time. Turbo does that sort of thing.

I'm thinking on the order to 1-3 tenths, but we'll see.

Well, if drop my 60ft I certainly will drop into the 13's. I might pick up a pair of slicks for that night.

Slicks would definitly make for a better pre/post test by eliminating wheel spin as a variable.

be careful with slicks though unless you're getting reinforced Rear Axles as well.
I'd suggest a pair of DR's if you still have stock axles. You can get very similar results on them

I suppose he could launch at street tire RPM's to reduce the shock.
~2500 RPM

Launch at 2500 RPM won't make for record times, but at least it would be good for testing purposes and not break drive train parts.

problem is if he hooks up then he will bog with that low rpm.

I'm getting 1.7 60's with both slicks or DR's also if gets dr's he can mount them on regular wheels instead of having to invest in welds and then deal with having to get longer wheel studs and shaving them...

I got kicked out of LACR for having too short wheel studs and had to get the 60 mm Nismos but they are about 5 mm too long for the weld lug nuts and so would shave off all the time.

I'd suggest DR's for now

Sounds like a plan.

I'll have to meet up with you guys the next time a track event is organized.

I heard with DR you still get wheel hop because it isnt a soft sidewall compound. Plus with slicks you can lower the tire pressure for a wider contact patch which is always a plus.

Slicks are defintely better. I'm just saying if you want to go that route you need to invest into a few more things than just the tires in order to have a safe stable ride.

Also I am running 15" DR's (basically same setup as slicks) which gives you a bit more of the soft sidewall than if you run larger ones.
