B. you scare me sometimes.. We do have a Caprock system, two of them in fact... We jsut need the company to unleash a few more dollars for a bit more bandwidth...

I might need to talk to you about some superhigh tech sat phone... I don't talk to my wife via voice for the entire 28 days I'm out here... We e-mail every day... but it isn't the same...

I could use a calling card, but I get charged 8 minutes for every minute I use by AT&T... It's the principal of it... Intrastate call since our hub is in Houston...

I've looked into google talk... some like it, some dont.. lots of mixed reviews...

When I get back home we can talk. I will dig around and find some unclassified comm stuff you may be able to use.

Bruce,

Here's a new avatar if you want to use it. I should have your signature (and others) done soon.

OK...I should've been in bed hours ago, but once I get started on these I have a hard time stopping.

I made one signature, and then had an idea for another one. Here are both. You can choose which one you like better.

Also let me know if you want to change anything.

What brand and type of tire? M/T ET DR2 345/18 There are cars that run 7's with 275s.

I have Nitto Invo's in 345's and still don't have any traction in first and second even when I ease up to full throttle. And I don't even have half the power you do!

Drop the pressure, put heat in them and they come alive.

What about on the street? Just fight the temptation to go over 4500 RPM? lol.
Haven't had luck in finding a drag radial that's 345 and fits a 20" rim. :(

How long do you expect those tires to last? Or change yearly with the motor oil with all your power, lol.

Nice sig's Russ, very nice.

B- you said it will help but not a prepped track set up.........I did notice in the sig Russ did you have 325 gears. Is this more for top end speed? Do you plan on running it as say Texas Mile or someplace to see how fast it will actually go?

I know NHRA cars have big HP and somewhat put it down just wondering how yours will work with 1500 hp.

I saw a Vette Vengeance Racing did with 1200 hp and it was a rocket but it also had issues putting it down.

Just wondered if there was a way to be able to use that much power in a somewhat stock vehicle.

The 325 gears were lower than I thought they'd be as well, but I'm guessing he's going to do something crazy like the mile. If he was just wanted to drag race I would think he would've gone to a 3.73 or maybe even a 4.10.

Putting it to the ground is about three things.

1) Tires
2) Tires
3) Tires

Since he's tubbed the vehicle he can put a 335 slick on it. I'm sure he'll go with the smallest wheel diameter he can to get a tall sidewall tire. He can also adjust the bound and rebound on his coil overs to put as much weight as possible on the rear tires.
