An in-coolant thermostat installed in the thermostat housing, controlling two 40amp relays, one for each fan, power wired direct from the battery or alternator, each power line fused separately, and use big enough wire to support the current draw properly. Furthermore, I wire mine so the signal...

Ya, he did... he made it over here for the show, minus his non-existent car, of course. Rode around with me a fair bit, discovered too late that there wasn't a 10pm ferry home anymore on Sat, so he stuck around for the show and shine as well.

A few things. The thermostats that stick to your radiator aren't worth using, IMO, for a number of reasons. Dig on the forum and you'll find a lot of problems. Considering that decent efans pull a *lot* of current, you really need to wire them properly. Furthermore, having them on all the...

Weather wasn't perfect, but it was close. Not too hot, didn't rain at all until pretty late in the night - we probably lost an hour of racing at the end, but they might have closed it due to dew before 11 anyway. Hoping for the rest of the weekend now!

So far, yes. You can check the status live on MRP's website: http://www.missionraceway.com/

Boo. What's wrong? Got a run in your pantyhose? ;)

Not really, no. Only a bit of that comes from wear and tear. The vast majority of it comes from the difference between BHP, or Brake Horsepower, and WHP, or Wheel Horsepower. An average RWD car loses ~15% to drivetrain loss between the engine flywheel and the tires. Car manufacturers...

Stock '07 Z in good shape dynos 260 to the wheels. In average shape drop that by 10%, or 234whp. And you're only figuring 50lbs for the driver? Were you racing a 6 year old girl? How about figuring 175 lbs for an average male, fully dressed. That makes the calculation (3339 lb car + 175...

A number of folks have mounted them in the climate control / stereo area as well. I've thought about building a slide on multi-gauge package for above the dash, too.

You need to cut a fair bit off that time to make the list... and post a timeslip / video, too. :) Other than that, list updated...

To be honest, I don't really know. I'm basing that off the fact that car manufacturers never can seem to keep their fingers out of the 'fudging' pot when it comes to specs. Even if we take the non-driver weight out of the equation, that still leaves the numbers at 253 - 281whp.

You've left out a few rather important factors in your estimates. First off, the listed curb weights are always dry, no fuel, often no other fluids, and certainly no driver. You can realistically add ~350 pounds to that. Then there's the fact that their engine likely isn't running as well as...

It's actually better today than it was yesterday... for Saturday, anyway.

I use an impact to take a lot of stuff OFF. I put stuff together using regular wrenches.

You're damn close to sea level anyway, so corrected numbers are going to be pretty damn close. I'll let you get away with it. :) Your post was from before Slow's last update, I guess he missed it - and I surely didn't have the time to spare, trying to verify the whole thread from start to...

I'd double post this here and in the Canadian section...
