Destroyed a 99 Formula M6 ;-)
... okay. I lied. Big Props to 99FormulaM6, last night we met up at a car meet near by. I've been dying to run him since I got my STS on my car regardless of how **** poorly it's running right now. After the meet, we drove back home on the interstate. It was me, him, his buddy in his untuned cammed z28, another one of his friends stealth tt (mods unknown) and my buddies 03 lightly modded Lightning. (all races are from a 40 roll) The first run was Me vs. Formula vs. z28. We punched it and at about 80 I was about 4 cars behind. I started closing the gap by 100. But I was still 1 1/2 - 2 cars behind by the time they let up. They were both neck. I stayed out of the way for the next race and the lightning took my place. They were in front of me when they lined up and took off. Instantly, the formula jumped out in front w/ the z28 shortly behind and the L holding his pacing w/ the z28. All in all. The z28 and the formula were pretty much dead even the entire night, w/ the L always close behind. I gave up trying until I figure out what's robbing all my power.
PS. Chris, Brandon says your cars a beast and he wants a rematch when we get back. Who knows what he's planning now.

no, my cars pewter
me and Nick (the untuned Z) are even no matter what speed we go from. ill get the jump, and hold my lead, and he cant close, and hell get the jump and i cant close and neither of us pull on each other. weve tried everything to get an even start, but we both are cammed with TD's so i cant hear him honk the horn and he cant hear me
i would like to run that lightning again, that guy was quick. he would get the jump on me, but i would make it up. and he would hit it when i was downshifting i was in 5th and was putting it in 2nd, and he took i off.lol. is he on your boat? when are you getting back?

oh, and one time, when i was next to the lighting, i help up 1 finger to tell him to wait so i could downshift...since he would hit it when i was in the middle of downshifting...and he thought i meant 1st. or i assume so, because he slowed to about 35 or so on the interstate. lol

calm down killer. the formula can never lose.
And I don't think I have to worry about anything going boom boom too soon. But I agree, I definitely need to get it retuned.
Chris, By the way, do you know of any places where I can pick up an aluminum grille?

Yeah, I'll be back by thursday. Was supposed to take my car down to Carolina Auto Masters but I decided to buy the methanol and won't have that by friday so I postponed that.
Thanks for the "master-of-the-obvious" -------> :-) Honestly, wasn't even thinking about that.

I can't beat you right now but if I get it tuned and take all that **** out of the back I think I'll get you Chris. Besides, Dustin installed that passenger side header gasket upside down. That can't be helping anything. I think we're going to replace those this weekend so watch out .
Reocamaro, when I dynoed my car at DTP they said that they'd gotten about the same power as you out of another STS kit they installed. I'm pretty sure they just don't know how to tune. Not LS1's anyway.

Why are you so upset at 375/370? You say it's only a cam only car. I'd think those are some pretty decent numbers for your car. I definitely notice every one of your 375 horses when we get on the interstate and I'm behind you!!! :sad: How many miles do you have on your 555r's? I've been wanting to get a set of them but I can't afford tires that only last 5000 miles.
PS. Waxing floors sucks ***! I can't wait until we pull in.

I'm up for going, but I think it's my time to just sit back and watch. I all ready know I'm going to pull consistant 14.0's so there's no need for me to run it down the track. Brandon said that he'd go.
