Rib Lake 1st Ice

[BADSLED]

That was on the gun, speedo read 111mph. After some tuning, we saw 113 on the speedo, and a best of 115mph. But we did not run through the radar after that tuning, so the actual numbers stand.

Also, ran my attak next to another Apex to see how much the speedo changed due to me cutting 2 teeth on the speedo gear. 13-14mph difference. So, the speedo at 120 should be accurate.

Terry, did you run your Attack with spray?? Any numbers you could share?

I didn't run through the radar with the Attak. I put in a 25 tooth top gear, and it killed MPH. Going back to 24/38. Didn't bring any nitrous this time, as I am out. Need to find some before the trails.

Really focused on the Nytro as a lot of guys are saying they are dead on the top end which they are correct. Nytro should be 110 easy with the HPR rated.

I think the aerodynamics of the Nytro are whats killing its top end numbers. Just that alone between then Apex VS. Nytro is huge.

Man I would love to do this and get a good rdar on mine with the spray. Looks like fun. Were not even iced over yet here in Iowa!

Tom looks like you had fun. Did you do any 660 type drag racing? If so My guess is the XTX was quicker there

 

[dirkdiggler]

Well guys just came off the ice and the conditions are perfect.... it was more just a test and play day. The Build Super Charger is down for the count. 1st run, blew the intakes off the throttle body's and the block.... then fixed that, next run, ripped all the teeth of the belt that drives the cross shaft from the engine.... so she is out for tomorrows run.

XTX and 08 Nytro speedos are about 5 to 6 MPH off. Ran thru the gun with the XTX at about 105 with me on it and 108 with my son. 08 Nytro with me ran a 108 and my son ran 110.

Viper ran in the 111 to 113s, 600 twin with pipes ran 106 range.

Apexs ran 121s to 124 ish and a SRX ran around the 123 to 124 speed.

If I am not mistaken we are about 1/2 mile mark

Tom did you try letting the air out of the Floats to see if that would give you more MPH on the Nytro? You know the EXTRA RPMS the Apex's spin help it MPH better as well

 

[MrSled]

The XTX ran close the whole way until we took air out of the floats

looks like well have some more radar action this weekend, cats and possibly some mod skidoos, be ready to go the distance.

 

[kinger]

Why did the SC fail? Was it the belt that went out?

 

[MrSled]

I posted it in the 1st or 2nd post... belt went and I didnt have another one.

 

[MrSled]

We are going to shoot for this Sat again for some fun on the ice!!!! Please come and join us!!!
