First time to track with EPR twins

[Righteyeblind]

I couldn't get in as many runs as I wanted due to my fan belt coming apart AGAIN! Anybody else have that problem?
I bested [email protected]
1.68-60

Thanks to Trent for all your help with tuning and the turbo kit!

What part helped the 1/8 mile times?

 

[Rhall]

I had a long streak of belt throwing problems about 4 years ago, first it was my tensioner, then it was the fan pulley bearings were bad, then it would stll throw belts when i bought them from an auto parts store. If you get them from GM there actually a little bit different size than the auto parts store, not much, but it was enough to make a difference on my truck. I think i went through 10 or more belts in that year.:rofl:

Reece,
I don't think the twins helped as much as that sweet pink helmet you were rockin!:hug:

 

[camomax]

Congrats Reece!:thumb:

 

[duramax hd]

So close Reece but awesome job though:thumb:. Sounds like a good time

 

[sweetdiesel]

Wow Congrats Reese that is a great time!:thumb:

As far as the belt ive heard lots of issues with the 02s and belts......Listen to what Rob posted and that should help!

60 ft was 1.68. That 30 dollar part definitely made a huge difference! Ran the best ever if I would of had more time to tune but oh well. I'm sick of hovering by 11's and am just going to build the thing since this winter is here and no more racing. 172k miles and over 100 passes I think it's time.
The best part of the twins is the 700 mile roundtrip with pulling my 8k pound trailer to the track. The twins are unreal to tow with, it's effortless. Cruise control before was out of the question. I used to have to constantly kick it into 4th and watch the pyro like my life depended on it.

Reece,

Don't be jealous! Definitely added 100 hp

That is good to know though reese...i do tow alot for work and I really do need a set of twins!

I think ill just have my pay cheques made out to Trent for a while:spit:

So you think i should get a pink helmet?

 

[MWDHAND]

With all the paycheck you have been killing lately Simon I think a all black outfit would be a good look for ya!!!

 

[ChevyDieselLLY]

Pink helmet all the way Simon. That should put you in the 9s for sure. Make sure its hot pink tho. With some light pink flames

I'm not jealous.... well maybe a little bit. You know how us bench warriors are:thumb:

It helped me! It was HOT pink too. I forgot my helmet at home and had to borrow one. It helped me be a crowd favorite since the return lane went right on front of the stands.
