Well it was time to take TKNOVR to the drags for the first time ever , we didn’t change anything on this cars setup that we use for roll racing other than the tyre compound , with zero data on this car we were flying blind , we already knew the gearing was wrong for the drags but we thought we’d give it a go anyways ( too short gearing )
Straight off the trailer it went 1.37 to the 60” and an early shut down, after backing that up a for times with more 1.3” to the 60 it was time to give it the “1 and done” rip, on that pass it was flying until it hit a throttle body error early enough and we could get on the brakes for another run, we made the decision to turn the boost down to help prevent the car going into limp mode as we were determined to get a full run in. Next run it cracked the tyres abit but it was our final pass so we decided to stay into it , it was going great until it wasn’t , we made it further before the car cut out this time but still didn’t get a full pass , around 3/4 track the car shut off again and we hit the brakes before the finish line resulting in a 8.6 as in incomplete pass ….. for a street car this thing is flying !
STOCK ECU too…. Nothing fancy here just an Eboost and a right foot.
We have no interest in racing this car again at the strip as that’s what TAKOVR is for , but it was good to get it out and put some numbers down even if it wasn’t a full pass…
The commentators loved the car and remembered it from the kots event and were very upfront about reminding us they were going to boot us if we do a full pass 😂 so we got the boot and a hi five 😂😂
Thanks to Autotech Engineering for the tune up, Rocksteady Racing for bouncing some ideas back and forth with and the team we have
