Rate my burnout .... 1 ---> 10

[JekylandHyde]

Burnout video below.

This year really beat me up and I am genuinely happy that Hyde is being torn down for the winter. I can relax .... sort of. We have a lot of work to do over the winter:

1. ATS 2.2 stroker with oversized valves. I was hoping we would see 550+ rwhp @ 25-30 psi, but it is my understanding that my fuel system is not going to be able to support that. I may be looking at upgrading the fuel system over the following year. It's not in the budget this time around. The ATS engine should make pwoer 500 or so rpms sooner and spin to 8500 rpms.

2. Some new suspension pieces: Sustec brace for under the front, new strut tower bar up front in combo with my TRD and I hope to have arear bar fabbed that will clear my IC pipes (doubtful). Also hoping to get new struts.

3. SS brake lines, rebuild calipers, maybe new pads and rotors.

4. Find a solution to the constantly breaking rear sway bar tabs.

5. Resolve my IC fan issues. (just a bunch of rewiring).

6. Safety stuff: Harness bar on the roll bar needs to be moved and I may look into having my bar completed into a cage. Maybe doing a full fire suppression system instead of my dinky 2.5 lb extinguisher.

7. 3/4" longer wheel studs.

8. Rebuilding my spare set of axles with ATS CV upgrades to have on hand for backup.

9. New vinyl for some new sponsors

10. Maybe get a bigger front lip and sideskirts to kill some air flo. Anyone got something cheap, used, light and black?

11. Hopefully find a solution to my 275s rubbing the inside of the car.

12. Alignment (it's only been 3 years )

13. Install an external kill switch (ign & alt).

14. Instsall boost gauges that goes to 30 psi.

15. Install new, better roll bar padding from Safe Drives.

So what do you give me on a 1 -> 10 on that burnout?

link won't work

[JekylandHyde]

doh ... links fixed

[-The Stig-]

That was a goodin... I'd give it a 9!

[dimefury]

7
nice burnout
(warmed the tires well, good job for a 4 cyl.)

the score may seem low, but i've seen alot of burnout videos and it takes alot to get a 10 out of me.
exvitermini's gtr700 = 9, so a 7 is still a good score.

[eps]

Eh, it was ok. I'd give it at least a 6.

7, i liked it!

[xXxRocker5150]

I liked burntrice's burnout video the best.

9.

That was actually very nice and smokey. Lots more smoke than the other ones.

Also, are you planning on keeping the stock valvetrain (springs, retainers, etc) or are you planning on going aftermarket, or perhaps even doing a shimless bucket conversion?

How about a port and polish of the head for even better airflow?

Worst. Burnout. Ever.

Eleventy Billiion.

[JekylandHyde]

lol ... you guys kill me.

Can someone link me to burntrice's burnout video please?

clawhammer, we are going to oversized valves, probably shimless. We are not doing anything "fancy" like 5-angle valve jobs, port-n-polish, knife-edged cranks, etc ... This is intential.

The reasoning is that if I break mid-season, we will be able to replacebroken parts faster and more afforadably the less "special" they are.

^ I would also love to see burntrice in action

[bad360rt]

That was pretty good, I'd give it a 7. You could do better, but then again, it's a track burnout and not a "destroy your tires" burnout

As soon as I get the video of the burnout in my sig, I'll post it up

[xXxRocker5150]

lol fuck I can't find the URL to it, but burntrice made a website in which he had a burnout vid and a few racing videos or something....

[2000LS1Z28]

I give it a 7. It was good, but you really weren't going anywhere, for obvious reasons. Need more rubber flying off, and car getting sideways next time.
