dude you totaly suck....

i hate to say it but when it comes to drag racing you are a complete idiot..

 

actually, for dragging, your working on the wrong car.

nissans, fords, and chevys are good at the 1/4

hondas are good in the twisties

 

I've always been told if I have nothing nice to say, then don't say anything at all =X

 

I agree with you there man. Full interior cars won't be as fast as a completely dedicated drag car.. that's not the issue..

You say you can gain a FULL SECOND from a wing.. who's the idiot here?

 

What all have you had for dragging, is this your first??

First car:1979 Trans AM Limited Edition
SB 400(first engine), rock-cruncher 4 speed, Posi track/373 rear gears, 14.00-15.00 times
3 SB 350's 14.00-15.00 times

Second car: 1983 Chevy Short-wide
2 SB 350's, Powerglide turbo 400 tranny, Lock rear with 453 gears, bed cut to fit 20 inch slicks 13.70 times

Friends car: 1979 Camaro
SB 350, dynoed to 12000 rpm out of car, 550 hp, 411 rear gears/ single drive axle(broke 5 U bolts with the torque) 13.25 times

Third car: 1974 Chevy Vega
BB 640(first engine), Alcohol, powerglide 400 9.75-10.00 flat times
SB 350, same tranny 9.45-9.75 times

Fourth car: 1984 24 foot rail(alter)
BB 426, Alcohol, 2 speed tranny, 9.25-9.48 times

This does not include everthing i've worked on the side. Started racing in 1989, three years before i graduated HS. Have my a&p licence(airframe and powerplant) since 1992. Ase licence in 1993. If i don't know anything, that must make you really dumb. Now my question to you, Prove Me Wrong

 

Dude, you don't have to prove your extensive drag knowledge. To say that a WING will make your car 1-2 SECONDS faster is retarded! Maybe 1-2 tenths of a second with a fully built drag car with the right adjustment, but not 1-2 full seconds.

I don't doubt that you've been around the drag strip a time or two, but a wing will not do that to a drag car.. simple as that.

Prove yourself RIGHT.... h:

 

wned: :thumbup:

 

Maybe it's .1-.2 sec faster? Seems possible with a really good wing.

 

Exactly.

 

Here's a little lesson in aerodynamics:
18secFerio said something about a wind tunnel. This is only effective in certain areas. In a wind tunnel you are moving air over a stationary object(car). In real life you move an object(car) though stationary air. Air movment is going to act different. Yes you will build drag pressure on the front of the car in a tunnel, but you will not produce the drag vacuum on thr rear of the car from forward movment. Drag vacuum meaning as a car moves forward, air pressure builds on the front. It moves to the top, sides, and bottom. At the same time there is a decrease in pressure on the back of the car due to forward movement. This is where air tumbles and makes drag. If you put an airfoil on the back of the car that moves the air tumble farther back, you create a vacuum past the point of body contact. Thus eliminating drag. Less drag means more effect HP and faster ground times and lower track times. If you get a 10-15 mph speed increase, in my past RACING experiences the means .6 to 1.5 second time drop. NOW the 3 seconds seamed a little off to me, but it must of worked on his car.
