Larry Larson 5.95 @ 244mph

In Car Video with Data Overlay
Nov 23 2014 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway
Data gathered from FuelTech FT500 and Racepak V500SD system.
Special thanks to Larson Race Cars for allowing me to share this data.

Over 10 liters of displacement, almost 9000 rpm and 50 psi of boost... holly macaroni!!

big power needs big numbers

[@JesusisJesus]

Ok, so I gotta turn the SR20 up to 50 psi.

[@zachclemens1971]

Banzai Bankai I spent like 5 minutes trying to get a accurate 0-60 on this video and I came up with a .45 second 0-60 not 1 second. But it was hard to react fast enough to pause it in time lol it is crazy how fast it is.

[@TheRichieRozay]

1.025 to 60 feet not 60mph lol

Oh my bad

lol nah i was referring to banzai's comment

[@orsoncart9441]

Slow. Sammy Miller would be doing 140mph plus in 1 second

[@cxbra]

I wish more people could datalogged like this guy, the guages are so dope to see in a video. My favorite part was watching the G-meter and EGT's rise on full throttle!

[@Grim214]

Having the telemetry on there really helps put this in perspective seeing that needle blow past 200mph in almost 4 seconds. I can't even imagine top fuel.

[@turbovanman]

He went faster doing a burnout than I have on my Superbike, lol. That digital overlay was awesome. For all that power, it idles so smoothly.

[@3rdGenGuy]

turbovanman Modern EFI is a glorious thing.

[@turbovanman]

SANIC I know, EFI is amazing, even older 80's fuel injection isn't that bad on some models.

[@3rdGenGuy]

turbovanman the TBI were limited but leaps and bounds better than a carburetor

[@mibars]

I like how it casually keeps a 200mph burnout on those fat slicks with 1/3 throttle and no boost at all :)

It was absolutely nasty how much ground he made up when the truck hit 2nd gear, he almost walked him down near the end.

8,700 rpm big block, good god. Piston speeds must be insane.

[@MrBobcat975]

I know It's amazing what they're doing with today's engines. Sonny Racing has a 1005 cubic inch NA engine that makes 2150HP at 8000 RPM! That's a lot of crap slinging around. Larry's only got 640 (yeah only) but shoving 50psi of boost blows the mind that it can stay together.

[@walkerforsyth6221]

Big block doesn't necessarily mean that it has a long stroke, they don't have any higher piston speeds and anything else. That's the point of big aftermarket blocks with things like up to 5.5 inch bore spacing, they're still really big boars and have short strokes.

[@rouddypierce2394]

Only one word AWESOME!

[@wearegame777]

Darrien Graham Ok, but Las Vegas is a 1/4 mile track... So, Murder Nova's 4.40 in an 1/8 mile equates to about 7.00 1/4 mile time....

[@simplyjc52]

wahahn you really must not know , that turbos are back half he would probably run 6.60 or 6.70

[@Kingg_G]

That was on 275 radials so he turned the car down.And it was unprepped. Hell dave's even faster by 2 cars on 2 kits

He's really hot this down, 5sec & drives on street, Who'd would of ever thought?

[@ZerOArtGFX]

I can only imagine how that must feel. can it be described in words?

[@JTBUGTECH]

Larry knows his shit!

[@Parabloop3r]

Haha, this reaches 90% of a Bugatti Veyron's top speed in the span of a quarter mile...

[@recrdholdr]

And costs way less lol. Mind you it's not very good in the corners.

[@Parabloop3r]

I don't know about costing WAY less... Larry had to build his own bespoke twin-turbo motor and essentially re-do most of the car's powertrain and exterior too so it could handle that power. It probably adds up, and you don't even get a leather interior!

[@recrdholdr]

Well a Bugatti Costs well over a million dollars and I would gather that Larry has $200-250,000 in the Truck so, 1/4 I'd consider way less.

[@1951RKP]

Bugatti is a highly sophisticated ROAD CAR and is made to run on highways like Europe's Auto Bahn at high speeds around corners for hours on end and present a little comfort while doing that. Larry's S-10 is designed to be able to meet Drag Week requirements of being able to be street driven about 1,200 miles each year between designated drag strips and it's only other purpose is to go as fast as it can in a 1/4 mile drag race and it's damn good at doing just that. Two totally different purposes for the cars.

[@itsjustagolf]

1951RKP well said

[@tammyforbes2101]

+MrShark4488 yea and that was with a pro mod that don't drive 2000 miles across the country pulling a trailer. Don't get me wrong I like chief but he has a long ways to go to being in the same level as this guy.

[@MrShark4488]

Tammy Forbes true they are totally different......cant wait for drag week to start this year they are starting and finishing at national trail raceway again like a few years back and the track is only 6 minutes from my house and will probably see a few of them drive to the gas station down the street to get some E-85...i am going on monday

[@randerson4383]

Im just curious, why don’t the NPK guys run 1/4 mile?

[@jblack5323]

Pulling near 1G over the line!

[@DrainPipeJoe]

First, for all the trolls, go away. For the rest of you I like how we have all this big talk, yet we see nothing from any of these goons but talk, Larry doesn't need to talk his 5.95 @ 244mph in a truck that has to drive from track to track without the help of a trailer. This truck has to drive from track to track to be called the fastest street car in the world which means it has to run a radiator with all the essentials so it wont over heat. I think Larry had to drive to 4 different tracks with a combined distance of 1000 miles. If you look you can find the videos of Larry doing the fastest street car run from track to track. I think for all the idiots that talk and talk either put up or shut up because we have seen nothing from any of you and we all know why......because you aint got shit of your own that would come close to anything Larry has or most likely your lil civic makes a lot of noise but even stripped out with all seating removed and just a fiberglass seat, door panels, carpet, head liner, stereo system all removed, dash gutted, trunk cleared out with spare and jack chucked, window wipers system removed has a hard time getting into the 13's and would not pass for a street car!!

[@sparkyb2240]

lemme fix that .. 1:50 is where ya can see

[@PaPWPW]

A gtr runs 50+ psi and runs 7s, a v8 runs 50 and runs 5s, that's torque for ya.

[@PaPWPW]

Larry should build a firehawk with a similar powerplant and annihilate some ass in the highways

[@ForgottenMustard]

This has 620 cubic inches, while a GTR has aprox. 250 lol

[@PaPWPW]

Forgotten Mustard Displacement is irrelevant when forced induction and RPMs come into play, A smaller engine revving higher will generate similar power to a bigger one revving slower. Remember that quote "An engine is an airpump"

[@ForgottenMustard]

PilgrimTitan Yes, but the same power at lower rpm's is the way to go. Plus, more displacement equals more torque.

[@PaPWPW]

Forgotten Mustard Yep

[@johnamartinjr7750]

[@FloricaROSAN]

who is besides him(Larry Larson)?

[@hoost3056]

@evstar20 Larry slept at the light, the blower car in the next lane had a better 60 ft. and reaction time.

[@keefespencer1173]

That's cuz he red lit Larry's R/T was .076 which comes out to be .076 past .400 light so in all actuality he pulled a .476 light which is almost 8hundredths after it turned green and his truck moved so that's a pretty good light

[@russelllivermore5541]

How does the car show 200 mph on a burnout and 244 with 50 pads o boost wide open

[@remowilliams2.031]

Same way you can put you vehicle on Jack stands and do 100 in your driveway

[@ERK77VI]

I'm sure top fuel dragster is also road legal in most of the south africa and heck yea i would drive one on the road.... In my coutry, road legal car has to have original chassis with chassis numbers etc., only small amount of original parts can be changed to something tuning aftermarket stuff... Example normal rally cars are not road legal and they have to drive with special temporary plates during rally since too much original parts have been changed.

[@kr94vet]

CHEVY HORSE POWER..........WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@fondfarewell2]

JameZRVG ya if it was geared higher probably pull past 300 easily.

[@evstar20]

so a 5.95 and lost? That guy was in front of him was he not? How do you run a 5.95 and lose a race?

[@scottclark5568]

+evstar20 he was racing a blown Pro Mod. Those cars SHOULD run mid 5s. But they are full race cars, engines can only run for 30 seconds at a time - no charging or cooling systems on the car. The truck can be driven home after the race on public highways.

[@evstar20]

Thanks for clarifying that.

[@LassieIndustries]

+Scott Clark Rocketengineer :D

[@PROcrastiDRIVESVofficial]

+evstar20 Hahahaha exactly what I was thinking! (Thanks to Scott for clearing it up though)

[@1Dezan]

yes you are correct sir.

[@MrDynodonn]

Even though this S10 has a street version side, I personally think that is not anywhere near as fun to drive as his 66 Nova. Gone are the 30 minute changeovers from street to strip and then back, now there is a trailer in tow, and no more picking the wife up at the hotel after the races, since a crew member now has to sit in as co-pilot monitoring the truck's parameters on a lap top.

[@nicholasburt9274]

Wow, I thought it would be late 2015 before someone hit the 5's

[@rodawallace]

He turned a 6.16 on the fourth full pass. A 5 was inevitable. But yeah, I'd have thought it would take 30 or 40 passes to really dial it in. Nope.

[@Torpedomtb]

It would had won Drag Week if not for late arrival at Thunder Valley that only allowed one attempted pass. But due to the messed up pass it had to take a 20 second (default) time...and since lanes were closed could not do a 2nd pass.

[@rangerst_870]

C Drought That is what I said!!! I was staring at that boost guage!!!That digital overlay is awesome!! Wish I had that same software for doing the videos...

[@frenchfri5106]

What keeps this from going even faster? Traction or hooking? Not well educated on drag cars

[@Scootermagoo]

Basic's of et is weight and horsepower, more power + lighter weight = lower et. So given they were in vegas at 2500ish feet of elevation you remove about 10% hp due to less air. the car weighs approx 2800-3000 lbs which is roughly 600lbs more then the guy in the other lane. So to break down any basic dragstrip, the first 60 feel he had enough traction and control to go 1.025 seconds at like 70 mph roughly. The 330ft is 1/4 of a 1/4 mile so it's a interval time and he did it in 2.75 seconds at roughly 120-130mph, yeah he gained 50-60mph in about a second and a half. the next number is the 1/8th mile which is half a 1/4 mile. it took him 3.95 seconds to go 194mph, the next number is 1000 feet approx 300meters they use in europe and the length a top fuel car can run in competition, they go around 330mph by this point. speed probably 220-230mph, the last number is the 1/4 mile 1320 feet of the king of england. and was going 245mph and accelerating to catch the other car. so take 3500ish horsepower *like 2200 ft/lbs of torque* and send it to the tires which are probably 33 or 36 inch tall bias ply drag slicks that are 15-17 inches wide. apply power liberally and violently in a controlled manner and you go zoom zoom. The way for him to go faster is 1 add more power 2 is to remove weight, at this point I want to point out this is a street driven vehicle with a steel body. So fiberglass&carbon fiber are going to be needed. He already has according to earlier posts a 620 cubic inch engine so going larger can be done but will run into diminishing returns and probably lose the water jackets in the block and heads and stop making it street driveable. So more boost.. bigger turbos and from what I remember back 8 years ago turbos are not as big as they are these days and he tried blowers and other things. But the basics is weight + hp = et.. and on the flip side hp + drag coefficient = mph more power the faster you can go, theoretically.

[@AdamHemi]

Can someone tell me how did the engine run only 4000 rpm with wide open throttle @ 1:45 ?

[@youngwisemangmail]

+Adam Ye I believe its computer controlled. as is boost

[@dimitariliyanov3680]

+Adam Ye Controlled by the ecu so is the boost.

[@oTRICKLINERo]

+Adam Ye 2 step its controlled by computer its technically a second red line but doesnt hurt the engine.

[@AdamHemi]

Draz Aqua thanks alot!

[@TRX450RVlogger]

+Adam Ye it's called Launch Control. It is so that way when you floor it with the Brake engaged it will only rev to how ever many RPM's you set the ECU to rev to so that way the tires do not spin out. Every time tires spin out that is a Second lost in a Race.

Anybody notice the mph during the burnout? Is that right, over 200 on a burnout??

[@RayNunnally757]

Wheel spin does things to GPS and accelerometers. Lol

[@dclsxfactory7823]

Most likely. Burn outs are done in your high gear.. I never watched my speedo in the burn out box but I bump my glide into drive almost immediatly during the burnout and hammer it on the roll out. So yes that 200mph is probably correct on a 3000hp car in high gear at 4k rpm.

[@mr.know_it_all]

dustin cotton yep you are correct , just cause the car isnt moving does not mean the wheel speed is not ,high gear is high gear 1;1 ,,so if your in HIGH in the burnout box at 7500rpm and it says 160 mph ,your wheel speed is 160 even tho your shits sitin on the brakes lol

[@scottclark5568]

Ray Nunnally the MPH is based off rear wheel speed here, it's not GPS or accellerometer. That number is real.

[@1Dezan]

I wonder what a T/F produces for wheel spin on burnout....Hmmmmm. Interesting.

+TheBuggerbutt08 The 1/4 mile averages the last 60' or so of track, if I recall correctly. So it wouldn't show actual peak speed.

[@mateagoston7113]

+Adolf Kitler That was the top speed, but the finish line speed was 244 mph.

[@AdolfKitler]

Borsófőzelék Piskótakockával Top speed is top speed, regardless of where in the line it happened.

[@mateagoston7113]

Adolf Kitler The point of drag racing is the time you hit in 1/4 miles and they also indicate the speed you hit in 1/4 miles, no one cares what was the highest speed in total. The top speed of this car is over 300 mph.

[@Straitjacket346]

A trap speed is not the highest speed, it's an average of the last 66' of the track when you pass in and out of the trap. Google it.
