lingling1337 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I'm going with a few buddies down to the drag strip, there's been a lot of smack talk but I'm wondering what your predictions are. Cars coming are: my LGT A 2012 Duramax 2500 with full bolt-ons, chip, etc no tranny work though 1980's Honda 250R quad. pretty much fully custom engine/suspension 1967 Mustang with bolt-ons and aftermarket rear end Very diverse group so it should be interesting. I think that at least vs. my car the 4-wheeler has a chance as it's only a 1/8th mile strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Be careful of the Duramax. My son's 07 Dulley with the Bullydog programer had 538HP and over 900ftlbs. The thing was pretty impressive for a 8000lb truck. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

LegacyLove88 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 The Honda is probably a 250R. If so, I'd be incredibly careful, as those are the go-to bikes for racing. You typically see Yamaha Banshees more often when it comes to drag racing specifically though. I'll second Max Capacity's comment about the Duramax, too. I've seen too many turbo-diesels destroy corvettes and mustangs at the strip to say anything otherwise lol. Let us know the results though!

lingling1337 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 That's it, it's a 250R. The guy may even buy slicks before the race. Like I said it's an 1/8 mile so I'm a little nervous. Duramax guy has probably $40k into the truck with lift kit and body work. Not sure if the turbo is swapped but a guy with a similar truck was running low 12's. It'll be my first time drag racing so should be interesting. I'll take some videos of the night and post them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 dirtbikes/4-wheelers are fast on the drag strip. you can't beat a power to weight ratio of 53hp to 220lbs (ie 450 bike). especially on a 1/8 mile. and deisel trucks have incredible launches. you'll probably lose to everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeleodee Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 OP, is this all going down at the ICC? Might be hard to line that up with all the vehicles that will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
