ScienceofSpeed Competes in 2009 Modified Magazine Tuner Shootout

[ScienceofSpeed]

On April 11th, ScienceofSpeed competed in the 2009 Modified Magazine Tuner Shootout at Firebird Intl Raceway. This multi event competition consisted of a dyno test, autocross, drag, and road course race for some of the country's top tuners to compete for top press in Modified Magazine.

ScienceofSpeed campaigned a 1992 NSX with the Company's supercharger system and was one of twelve total competitors. ScienceofSpeed was one of three competitors in the rear wheel drive class including Factor X (turbocharged NSX) and AFI (turbocharged S2000).

The ScienceofSpeed NSX faired very well in the competition with several top finishes. The results will be in next month's Modified Magazine. A full specification list can be found at the link below:

Look out also for Mike Spec’s exclusive review of the car in the following month’s Modified Magazine. ScienceofSpeed would like to thank Modified Magazine, UMS Tuning, Brady Dohrmann, and Mike Spec for their support in this event.

Nice work. Can't wait to see the article.:biggrin:

How do you like the RPS clutch with the 460 rwhp? Would it be streetable in some stop and go traffic?

So when are you shipping me those headlights? :wink:

 

[ScienceofSpeed]

hi Billy. You should have snatched them while the car was sitting next to you.

Chirs, the spec sheet says Carbotech brake pads....

which pads F/R were you running?

I am trying to decided whether to run XP10/XP10 or XP10/XP8 - stock 97+ brakes (RB rotors & cooling ducting F & R) and Toyo R888s. Advanced instructor level HPDE stuff (20-30 sessions).

I prefer XP10 front and XP8 rear. We usually have these on hand if you need a set.

Thanks guys.

The car is constantly changing. We use this one and our silver car for R&D so the parts are always changing.

Cheers,

Car looks good. Congrats on the coverage and performance.
