whats up everyone, next 2 weeks is " north california vS south california" at CMI in sacramento raceway in califrnia. i gott a B20 runnin 14 psi with hondata, 2.25 t 2.5 dwnpipe and 2.5 E-cutouot. custom intercooler. and CPR 440's,. im driving arund 14 on the strete on a mix of 100 and 91 octane * att last itll be higher than 91*. Im going ot bring my car to the event but i want to get a trailer, should i? or should i noto give a **** ? imma b running some baby slicks 20X6X14 ( better than 205=50R15 ES100's at least?) and im afraid of breaking something. My cars dynotune too a 11:5 AF ratio on the wideband at DSR. pushin 262 annd 254 torquee * BIG midrange gains compared too my LS wihch blew in a week*. Basically te LS motor got me scared, when i thought nothing could happen with a good tune it did. So far i've been driving around 2 weeks on My B20 at 10 and 14 psi and its been good to me. since its a bit rich im thtinking of filliln up wit `115 at tteh track and pushin 2 psi more. wats your guys's take on it? sorry for the spelling. my keyboards fucked up.

if ur afraid of messing something up take the trailer. Sounds to me your not very confident in ur car. Don't trust your tuner???

this is just asuggestion but maybe uhaul has a rentable trailer? something to check into anyway.

I think the only thing I would be worryed about is axles breaking but its never a bad idea to have a trailor..

i'd say drive it there in vacuum only. but if you're really scared, trailer it. i guess trailering it isn't a bad idea just in case you bust something over at the tracks.

If you have a trailer then trailer it. Otherwise get AAA premium. Its only 100 bucks which is a lot less than the cost of renting a uhaul once. You get 4 tows in a year up to 100 miles each with a pretty cheap fee to tow extra miles.

Great idea there. You could probably get it for even less if you have your daddy add you on to his membership. I think I'll tkae your advice and upgrade my membership. But 2 hours for this guy sounds like more than 100 miles... I guess you could stop halfway and call for another tow?

I wonder if they'd get mad if you pretend your car doesn't work and get it towed to the event also.

If it really bothers you a lot just get a trailer just in case.

OT: Also out of curiosity how did your ls motor blow? I was just reading your thread with the dyno numbers from that setup and it impressed me.

If the only thing your worried about is axels then

Bring 2 extra axels, 32mm socket, 10mm socket, 12mm socket, 15mm socket, 14mm deep socket, 17mm socket, a wratchet of course, bring the equivalent in wrenches, a few extensions, breaker bar, pry bar, hammer, a friend, 3 quarts of honda MTF, a funnel, a jack, jackstands and of course, a triple A card

but a trailer would be nice.

dont be scared !!! jus play it safe . if your worried about blowin the motor why do you want to boost up 2 more psi ?

R6Elmo

I think if you are scared to drive a measly 2 hours to a race and back, then you don't have faith/trust in whoever built your car. If you can't trust it to go 2 hours, than how much trust do you have in your car at the drags?

I personally say drive it there. The only reasoning i would see behind trailering a car is if:

A) It's not registered/insured for the street
B) Not safe to be on the street/or not setup to be on the street IE no headlights/taillights
C) It simply doesn't run.

wut up phil, dont be scurd to drive up there, be confident! by the way... i might hit up cmi with u and chris, if i can get that sunday off

Kamin

just dont boost on the freeway

you will be fine. remember a turbo wont spool unless the motor is under load. so just cruising you wont have a problem.

im surprised no one caught this yet. . in my opinion DONT RUN THOSE SLICKS!!!
i had a LS turbo hatch runnin 10-11 psi with 20x8x13s and they were way too small !! WAY TOO SMALL&gt;. spun real bad even after baking them up and it made me need to shift into 5th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dunno man but if i were u stick with the street tires and just lower the air press... if u want try them a run or 2 but be prepared to swap back on the stocks.

i got 20 X 6 X 14's not 20-8-13's

T4eg

trailer it up there. so if it breaks your not stuck

UltRaH22

ok i bet u will have the same problem 20x6?????? thats too thin 6 inch wide is too thin in my opinion and u are making more power than i was... givin u are using 14s but i dont think havin a 6inch wide patch is enough. . . ur205 50 15s prolly have an 8 inch patch, and are way taller....... ur gonna lose alot top end and i bet have to shift into 5th just tryin to save u from the dissapointment. i ws all hyped up on my 20x8x13 i like the width but they were way too small and i went slower with the slicks than with my 205 50's
