Hey Robert, what exactly happened on the Beeline? Can you elaborate because from what I can presume from Lexforlife's post is that he stretched you out. Am I on point or am I wrong??

Okay, I hear you. That's fair enough. I'm loving this father/son rivalry!

Roberto, sorry to say but I'm going to have to put my $$ on Ed.

Remember, he's got the biggest deciding factor in his corner,
he's got a 2J!

you got beat fair and square 1st and esp 2nd runs just leave it at that

you will get your rematch opp and at 26psi so you better be well, over 600
I remember his car that day...broke up nasty in 3rd and even worse in 4th. I wouldn't call that much of a race...you had the displacement and more cylinders to your corner that go round

I see no point in going past 160mph. What ever happened to WHO is faster? Now it's WHOSE car is faster. Racing from a 20 or 40 is a much more of a driver race. Racing from a dig is even more. If your car can't get traction down at those speeds then you need to work on that and not try to make you car faster.

I know at the end of the day everyone is cool with each other. But I also know that nobody likes to lose and feelings do get hurt.

But it's very entertaining to read. Thank you Club Lexus.

So are you predicting that the outcome will be different this go around since his car is not breaking up in 3rd or 4th? Or is it becasue he has the mighty Megasquirt installed and tuned by Jordantune??

i never built this car to all out race although i can always make that change in direction but i for one am a firm believer in purpose building ones car

i dont have a fortified r154 to handle a good solid launch without destroying 1-2gear fork or thrust washer

i dont have a very high hp clutch setup

so for me my purpose for THIS car is strictly showing , cruising , hanging out with the occaional ( and robert the smack talk today in other thread was just joking around bro , you will probably beat me on the re run, maybe) friendly hwy run and for us 2jz guys hwy runs means going deep like 160+

And I was right behind you guys and I do know he broke up.... I got light-headed with the black smoke coming from his exhaust. Just my .02

you and robert would diff get the jump on say myself and jerome because less energy req to spool smaller turbo more avail power down low once power comes online running to say 150 then would show drivers skills and the true meritts of that particular car
But its apples to apples if you ask me. spinning a 67 on a 2j is about the same as spinning a 62 on a 1j. If you plot your sheet vs Robert's sheet it will be about the same response. The only difference here would be is you are running 20" and he's 17". Being your gearing is the same except for your Frankenstein 3rd gear.

That sounds like a long winded excuse More power down low, but less up top which is why you agree on a set parameters for a run or do I need to bring up the 747 again?

Run what ya brung. Frankly your turbo does NOT spool that much different than mine, you said so yourself.
