Papasmurf runs a 11.776 @ 123mph
 

First and foremost I need to thank a handful of people.

@djuosnteisn; For the spectacular tune and time he has spent with me getting my car to where it is today, Dustin is a great friend and person for helping me out with my build whenever I asked. PERM the fuck on!

@jmhinkle; Also has been a solid part of my build, we use to live together and my car sat for 8 months in our garage, he has also spent a decent amount of time wrenching and giving insight on my build. Thanks Joel!

@EdgeAutosport.com; @JP@edgeautosport.com; For the great deals on parts! no matter what, even if they couldn't get me a part.. they found a way to. Much respect for JP and Alan.. still waiting on my neon yellow sticker faggots!

@SPEEDPERF6RMANC3; for their Port injection kit, This kit has worked wonders as far as fuel goes, yes it is most def overboard but I have enough fuel to make as much power as ill ever need, thanks for the kit fellas.

For anyone else that has answered questions for me through PM's, Texts and phone calls. Thanks fellas, NATOR is by far the best group of people in the car community that I could think of, nobody comes close.

Now on to the good shit.

I have to first mention this, the altitude here is 5500ft ASL, the density altitude was 69XX, so just below 7000ft ASL.

I had 3 good passes on the night until I eventually ran into one of my catch cans leaking oil onto my front driver side tire and I had to call it quits, the track also decided to close early so it kinda worked out. I truly believe the way this car is set up now can easily go 11.5's. I just have to get that perfect run in, still a couple months left of track season out here and super cool weather.

1st run: 11.934 @ 125.15mph, 1.861 60ft

2nd run 11.933 @ 124.89mph, 1.890 60ft

3rd run 11.776 @ 123.161, 60ft in the left lane was broken as you can tell from my time slips below. The car absolutely dead hooked on this run, if I were to guess I would def say a 1.7XX 60ft maybe quicker?

I am for sure going to be back at the track this season and going for @NJSPEED3; record.

Thanks again to the NATOR family.

I only got one gopro video of the 11.776 which is very very droned out for some reason, Maybe because it was inside the car. I will post the video once I edit it etc. One of my buddies got some of the 11.9 runs on a really good HD camera and ill post those once he posts them.

Droned out gopro and my fail driving haha.

Grats.

Congrats man, that's baller as fuck.

Congratulations. Nice traps.

Would be interesting to see what you can do a little closer to sea level.

Back to the track with you, Teddy!!
@Voltron Locos;

great job, subn 4 da vids

Great times man take it down to sea level if you can, it would be a monster

Congrats again Rob. Like i was saying to you last night, that car is a monster. Bring that car down from the clouds and its a low 11 second beast. Im happy as hell for you and i knew you could kill it.


Looks like i got some work to do lol. Congrats again buddy!

CONGRATSS!! :You_Rock_Emoticon::You_Rock_Emoticon:

Dayum son!

Head out here to Houston. We have Royal Purple raceway out here and with the sun still warm the track stays hot.

Congrats on the time.

jesus christ 5.2 to the 330ft. What are you baking cookies instead of driving?

With 95 1/8 traps and terrible 330's I'd say even with you driving that car can go 11.2-11.3 on that track same power and setup you are at.

Stop dicking around on the 1-2 shift. My guess is you are probably spinning, thinking shit is sweet, then shifting into second early.

Fix dat shit and get back there tonight son!

Any vids?

60 ft is traction and little bit of technique.

330 ft is how far and quick you can shift the 1-2.

Look At Gerry's Vid he's another one. Shifted into 2nd like 3 feet out lol. He still went faster though but that's negligible.

Congrats bro, and at elevation that is huge!

Slept like a baby last night!

:luci::luci::luci::luci:

I was def spinning in first and I had my pressure down to 8psi, I think I need to do a little longer burnout. I was literally letting the car bang limiter about 2-3 times before I shifted to 2nd so it wouldn't bog.

I'll be in Houston for tx2k, hoping to trailer my car there, def bring it to the track.

Get someone to record your track passes so you can review the tape. It will only make you better as a driver.

What he just said helped me quite a bit.

Watching my vids counts as cheating.

Congrats Rob!

No need to go lower than 8psi or do a longer burnout.

Play with the LC and make 10 maps separated by 100 RPM for LC. (ex. 5200, 5300, etc.)

If you spin, lower the launch RPM by 100. If you bog, raise the launch RPM by 100. The track conditions will dictate what RPM you need to launch at.

Launching a big power MS3 isn't easy. You need practice.

Don't shift to 2nd until after the 60' mark/cone.

I have someone that does, he got a couple of my first pulls missing 3rd and some of my 11.9 pulls. He was helping someone wrench on his car when I ran my 11.7.

I know for a fact I can shift quicker, it was my first time ever at a drag strip on slicks so I was more concentrating on hitting gears. Def room for a lot of improvement. Hopefully he posts the videos sometime soon. He usually waits till Mondays to edit and post.

I am also thinking I need to lower my launch control to control spin a little it was only at 5700 though.

Next time out I'm going longer burnouts for sure.

Nice work!

Congratulations Rob. Sick time @ high altitude.

This is what our platform needs.

It makes people want to go faster.

Yes it does.

tapafuck

Especially since the Pu's are knocking on the Juan's door.

Knock knock knock mutha fuckers! Hahahah

PaPaSmurf,

I think we have all been waiting for this for a long time!

Congrats to you and all the people who put hard work into this car.

You deserve a fast time.

Way to show them boys how it's done @ altitude. Keep up the good work

congrats on the awesome run, I did not think a Pu had it in it ;)

What you been up to you bum. you havent' been back to the track in a while. You slacking off man.

wheres video

The only one I got was an in cabin go pro. which ill edit and throw up later tonight, my buddy has other videos. I do not think my 11.7 was recorded though, it was later in the night, he had two people running cameras and we still have to scroll through some videos to see if he got it on one or not. He for sure got my 11.9's.


Sent from your girlfriends tapabedroom

Nice :-) ill watch them soon then!

grats, must be the matte finish providing a dimple effect blasting through the air like a golfball straight into the 11s

How the hell are you guys doing it? :( I took my car to the drag strip last night... best time was friggin 14.3 on street tires... I'm going to throw my car away...

You're not going to get anywhere with street tires man, you need slicks.


Sent from your girlfriends tapabedroom

Someone's been watching mythbusters!

Traction on DD tires just kills the 60' times. I really question how the magazine tests get this car to a 14 in stock trim. Time for some slicks I guess.

Hey man. Lol I have been around, actually was at the track yesterday with the bnr. Still have not been able to even match my k04 run lol. I think I may actually slap a k04 back in and go ewg with meth/e85 on it and try for 11s next spring. We shall see though. Yesterday was not a complete failure though. Figured out where my proxes t1's like to hook; 25psi. But they hooked and I bogged lol.

video added, I guess I learned not to keep the gopro in cabin at night, cant see much plus its super droned out.

I hear you on the balancing your power to traction thing. Good luck man.

Fucking tits @PapaSmurf;



Inb4 you bring that beast down to sea level and hook into the low 11s.

Don't mind me Rob..my inner geek is kicking in.

You have to put the "Spot Meter" function "ON" on the GoPro when filming at night from inside a car. This gets you the best video at night when mounted inside a low light area.

BTW your car is fucking violent going down the track LOL jeez man good stuff!

Good shit Rob, congrats on the record!

Keep pushing the platform guys!

Congrats man!! PU love

Pu's are gonna pu. :spankme:

:You_Rock_Emoticon:

Awesome time. If only you were at sea level, you'd be running low 11s near 130.

Congrats man, this was a great weekend for speeds all around. I'd love to see a little back and forth from pu to won with the 1/4 times. It's only a matter of time before we all start seeing some 10's.

If I start trapping 130, I better be running a 10 lol


Sent from your girlfriends tapabedroom

I for sure will have a 10 Next year, I'll be ordering a pte6466 soon.


Sent from your girlfriends tapabedroom

You in for a rude awakening then cause that's exactly what you'll be doing if you don't start driving better. You'll understand once you get closer to 10's

i just need more seat time, going 8 months without driving really set me back.

also don't get the Test&tune (3 strikes ur out) thing. Only hit days where you can get 4+ runs that aren't spread out too far apart. That hour wait between runs thing can ice your bodys muscle memory.

Sure glad to see you have great success - now you won't get pissed and mod that 335.

I'd put money on the smurf being the first 10s MS3. Gotta show those juans that the 100lbs we gained was just in sex appeal.

Nice! Even for a Pu :P

Congrats, it's great to see more and more people pushing the envelope. Can't wait to see this thing @ better altitude and a better DA! Teddy, get your ass back to the track lol

Track here usually isn't that busy, they closed early the other night because people were literally hot lapping their car, maybe 20-30 cars at most.

^ Mid West problems.

Smells like Pine Tree Perfume :trink26:

No shit. Haha. Last time I went to the track I only got 3 runs. Damn Northeast problems.

Were not cluster fucked together out here haha, shit the nearest "city" to Albuquerque is 3-4 hours away and they usually go further south for lower altitude.

Don't get me wrong there are some nights its packed, but usually this late in the season it isn't.

There is 3 only more TnT dates set on their schedule.

Oct 12th, 26th and November 9th.. all of which are day racing.

Congrats, nice to see that the SP PI system is working well for you.

I haz been reinspired.

Word on the street is that it was extra magical because you tea bagged everything before dropping it in the mail.

Does it ship in a big sock?

Dont be another "im coming to Tx2k to fuck shit up with y'all," and no show lol. We look forward to having yall though. Tell Dustin to bring the 6 and we'll be sure to point you guys in the right direction ;)

HOLY FUCK!!!! CONGRATS ROB!!!

I won't be going with any other Mazda guys, their all old and lame out here hahaha or have children.

I'll be going with a group from the local forums, truestreetcars, a bunch of high horsepower v8's and surpas.

Should be reserving a room soon, at the moment I'm not 100% positive if my car is going because the only way I'll bring it is if I can trailer it and at the moment I do not have a spot on a trailer.

My body will be there though.

Sent from your girlfriends tapabedroom

1st - you arent running meth anymore which i think is the only way someone from New Mexico has blown a motor

2nd worst case you only need a trailer on the way home.

The car only has drag radials/Hoosier qtps or my 15 inch slicks, which I won't drive 900 miles on one way, I also wouldn't want to put 1800 miles on the car driving it there and back.
