mod classes

First topic message reminder :

i think this dwindling devision needs to be tightend up

0-4k

4k+

since there are fewer and fewer people in this devision lets drop some classes and make it interesting

To get more people at finals you will need to get rid of the termlab. If people know they can't win they will be pussies and stay home.

termlab has to go anyways its maxed out, and we have someone that needs more reading already

A lot of our best guys are in stock . Kick them all in to mod and watch the scores go up in mod leave the stock classes for first and second year guys and watch the lanes fill up again

You guys are crazy with those build costs.

not really ALAN we aint talkiin a crx here we are talking s10's and they are twice as much to get there as a crx is

Ok.. well im pretty sure I've built enough boxes and cars to know that it don't take $400a in wood to make a s10 box.. all thread is not anywhere near $100(im a warehouse manager at a fastener supplier) and maybe if you go to bestbuy and get dynamat extreme at full retail you MAYBE can spend 1000?.. not 1500..

ok since you know i guess thats that then


how much mat does an s10 take then

less than $1500 worth...

ok

4 layers in the entire cabin of my s10 was done ,and when i say entire cabin thats everything stripped from the b-piller forward and done

i will not comment on anything else other than that because people need to learn to set there own cars up.

I'm so glad to be back lol I so missed this sh*t!!!! And I will keep every invoice for my build and see how much it cost to make a 1-1000 mod car

you can do a astro with 5-6k.

lol welcome back

I know it would be a \"Female dog\" to do but clamped power would be the easiest way to get new people and also make possible to run any companies equipment like I said it would be a pain in the ass but it would get rid of the "he has more power" Dung Pile and get down to who can build would also open up more vehicles to be able to use also just my.02

That is a good idea. You would have to make it make rms classes like 0-3k and such but I like it.

wont happen because there is already a clamped org

Been talked and talked and talked about.

we also have directors that can run a meter/verify cars/voltage/amp ratings properly or at all now and you want them to clamp now lol



i vote no

Been talked and talked and talked about.

my .02, i do think we need smaller classes like we used to. I have been helping a few guys try to get into it, and when i told them that 0-600 was based on 4ohm rating, and explained how much power some guys are really using in 0-600 they shy'd away from competing because its intimidating how high the bench marks have been set, we need some little classes again.
this would make things more affordable and get more people in, not everyone can afford the $500 alternators and batteries needed to push the monster amps you can have in the entry level classes.
Also, i agree with statements made about using other brands of amps, i would like to use other amps that would fit into power classes without other amps obviously being dominant amps

The bar needs to be lowered some, that is all.

youcan change the class power limits, and companies will bring out amps that still do 4 times that power you see this is there the main problem is and im glad you actually brought it up

d5 my testing 500@4 8600@.25 on 17v
d9 900@4 10.5k@.22 on 17v
cactus pf600 600@4 8400@.22 on 17v
ab 200.1 500@4 6600@.25 on 17v
treo 4.1 500@4 8400ish@.22 on 17v

now how did i find all this out you may ask well because i didnt buy just one amp, and settle i bought an amp tested it got a number wrote it in a log and sold it or traded for the others wheeling and dealing will teach you more about amplifiers, and setups than a keybord

The ab 200.1 is rated over That right you cant use 2 in 1-1000?

ab is 500@4 so 2 is legit

As long as there is classes built off a "rating" we will have to buy amps from thr one manufacture who wants to cater to those classes. Great for one company. Bad or usaci

Yea, i would like to try some Sundown amps, but unless its a top teir class with unlimited power, then they don't make an amp that fits very well into classes. Although one of the sundown reps told me about an amp called NS1 (i think) that is coming out, says it will be a top contender in the 0-600 class once its available.

Also sanman, I know you test your amps differently than I would, but I hope to get some power like you are seeing out of my PF600.1, so far i have only clamped a little under 2,500 out of it, but i have some God awful voltage drop issues at the moment.

could be the problemalso the rise needs to be below 1 ohm to get the power

That's what i was thinking, this amp starts growing nuts below 1Ω, right now my dc resistance is .35Ω and i'm rising to right at 1Ω impedance.

SB IS STOCK LOL EXCEPT FOR SB5

All the sb vehicles I have seen are mods playing music. SB should be for the everyday guys to get their feet wet in this sport.

i am not a pro and my vehicle isnt a mod build! only mod cars i see running sb are in sb3 and up there are a few that have boxes that go above the window line but most can still do close to the same # below.

ITS NOT ABOUT THEPOWER ITS ABOUT FILLING THAT MANY CLASSES
2010 HAD 30 COMPETITORS SPREAD THOUGHOUT THE MOD CLASSES I DONT THINK WE HAD 15 THIS YEAR

15/4=3 PER CLASS AND THATS Cow poopy.

LOOK PEOPLE ITS NOT GETTING ANY BIGGER, AND YOU SHOULD EARN A TROPHY AT FINALS NOT BE GIVEN ONE JUST BECAUSE YOU ENTER A CLASS.

one big reason there 30 cars in mod and 15 in 2011 was the judge , you didn't have a judge placing people in mod for just any reason.

lol i can do that if thats what it takes to get people back in there haha
