Any FWD TT's running 12 or lower in the 1/4 - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

Hey are any of you FWD-TT converted guys running 12's or lower if so at what power levels and weight as well as supporting mods?

Doulos85 · 03-14-2008, 09:35 PM

The 3sx Car is Running 10's. They are trapping near 150, so near 700hp? It really varies. because of all the traction issues HP numbers are just guesses without a dyno.

That is basically it. Traction is the real problem. you should be able to slap on 9b or 13G and run 12s (of course with the supporting mods). FWD models are lighter than the AWD so you have the advantage there.
But you will want to run slicks or similar.

traction and tranny reliability are our biggest enemys.

We have the power, but the problems are that were too heavy and big to be FWD. the car has to spin off the line.

Look at it like the DSM guys are. Take a GSX and a GST and put the same mods on them. The GSX will be a full second quicker because of traction. This is the same issue with FWD TT guys here. There are very few even in the 12's.

I realize that I was just wondering if there were any besides the 3sx car I wasnt wondering why theres not more people doing it I realize traction is a major problem.

a wheelie bar is the only fix. i don't know anyone who runs one though.

can someone else validate this? if with 9bs i could run 12's (with traction ofcourse)

Theoretcially you should be able to. But this isnt theory, this is the real world.

maTT · 03-15-2008, 04:19 PM

you would have to cut a 1.6 or 1.7 60' to run a 12 with a 5 speed.

I predict jomojr will run 12's the next time he goes to the track with the ATX. He run a 13.2 with 9b's and a 2.1 60'. Now he has dr650's and we will throw on some DOT slicks.

oh and T2 has a traction bar on the back. It does help a lot but still does not provide anywhere near as much traction as an AWD car.
