Ask him if it's SNELL approved. There should be a sticket inside specifying it.

My spare is a SNELL 2000 which is still good.

Yeh turns out my friends bike helmet is a snell 85 model which is no good so if the offer still stands im hoping to pick up Deans spare to use tomorrow. Well after putting the tires on the car this morning there were burn marks on prob 8 or 9/10s of the tire. So running the tires on about 25lbs wasnt actually making full contact with the ground. SO that being said i need to run lower pressure more like 18-20lbs which i here is about where you should start and launch it at 3-5k rpm range and find some lower 60' foot times. I also dropped my kyb agx's setting from 4 down to 3 so it will soften up the launch. Hoping for 13's :twisted:

Just thought id give you an example Vetty, of what my Old 88 ran with a T5 at cayuga, around 2 and a half 3 years ago...it had a crate ZZ4, with a demon 650, 1.6rrs, headers, 3 inch exhaust, etc etc, the car weighed somewhere about 3600 lbs with me in it...im just thinking it might be a good comparison, that day i ran 9 or 10 passes...it was about 10 degrees C out and i was struggling to hook after a few passes on the BFG DRs....if i remember correctly the car put down somewhere around 310 315 rwhp and 345 350 rwtq, roughly...keep in mind it was cold, my tires were almost bald and i had a passenger, which would make my car a good 3700 3800lb car... anyways, a 5 speed car, lauches between 3000-3500rpms with a decent clutch, and 373 gears in a 10 bolt...

R/T: .378
60: 1.814
1/8: 8.379 @ 81.2 MPH
1000ft: 11.120
1/4: 13.416 @ 101.48

what played a big roll was not caring about what happens to the car, just have fun, at the end of the night i started dumping the clutch at 3700 4000 rpms, since it wasnt a daily driver, i just wanted to run the best time if it breaks ill save up and fix it, as simple as that...whats CAA for? push it to the street and call them ;) being nervous doesnt help at all...

just my 2 cents...i know i got carried away...
