Impromptu performance test.

[O's Fan Rich]

We all have our "test" spots right? You know the place on the road that we use to guage the improvements we try.
Ok, mine is a stretch that starts with a right hand turn and a long straight I can see a long way on. I pull out go like heck and see what my mph is at a small bridge.
Here's some numbers... no I don't know the exact distance, sorry.
With the 99 Subaru Legacy AWD--54-59mph
with my 99 Vic LX 3:27 gears all stock at the bridge 66-70 mph
with the MM all stock 75-80 mph
MM with the mods I did NA ( 4:10's exhaust pulleys php spacer Lidio tune) 85-87 was the norm
I finally got the chance to try it with #132 today... I manually shifted, but wussed out on the rpms a bit ( first time...ok?) tires broke loose on the 1-2 really bad :D :D and I still pulled a 95mph ... I have got to learn how to drive this thing...... I bet theres another 5mph or better I was on top of that bridge in NO time...

Yeah, I like it, I like it alot!

[Hotrauder]

Ain't it the best? Well close enough to perfect for me. Good show Rich. Dennis PS...I know that bridge and that bridge is not in Madison County.:D

[Bobby Clobber]

Love it Rich,

Now come clean, there was something else there that you not only humbled , but , in trying to keep up , it broke, blew up or detonated,

Bradenton is still fresh in my mind.

Damn Skankees.

Bob.:beer: :beer:

John Russo: I put on Lidio's widened rims recently and my tires do not break loose any more. I presume you don't have widened rims?

I have only hit it hard twice and neither time did my 285/45ZR18's, never mind bigger 305 tires, breakaway.
I obviously have some issues?

I get 7 psig boost and use Pirelli's. So why does your breakaway and mine do not.
