BTW... @ my home track is almost drag racing every lap. Any suggestion of how to get more speed on the 275~280ft straightway? car is as light as possible... rear wing as less as i can get, bearings ok, engine screeeeaming...
My other engine was clocked at only 61mph... This one is probably getting it faster, specially beaceuse of a new short pipe... any other suggestions?

maybe a bigger diameter tire. if you true them smaller, the car will take off faster but will have less top speed. and also, smaller tire diameter is prone to spinning which eats speed. you can also try the vr12 pipe from www.skylinercracing.com it got pretty good top end. you can check out the skyline forum. they tested pipes and the vr12 produces the most peak hp!
