We asked Lou 2 years ago to give us the bigest that was possible and said we didn't mind running on the edge. For me it wasn't big enough so I specked my own. Sean is dealing with stock pistons and was told what he has is as big as will fit. Louis was not available to notch his pistons when he wanted so he ran what would fit out of the box. You on the other hand got a personal visit and Louis did the work.

As for you telling Sean everything your doing! All your doing is copying his setup and hopeing to be lighter and make more power through speed density to beat him. What did you come up with on your own? Are you the one with 500 passes setting up suspension and videoing it to see where it can be tweaked....NO You just say Sean what do you have I'll try that and hopefully beat you. So sorry if he doesn't want his own hard work to beat him.

Let me learn you a little...
First of all, Sean told me he is going with the AFR 205's back in the day cause he did NOT want to fly cut. .. Now, let me repeat that for you because you seem to have misinformation... He did NOT want to flycut.
When I confronted Louis about upgrading from cam only, I told him i WOULD fly cut..
Ok.. To recap.. Sean says no flycutting.. I say flycutting..
Now, on to part 2.
Sean has a TH400 with originally a 9" rear (i think) and a originally a 9" converter.
I chose to do a TH350, with a 12 bolt, and an experimental 8" converter. I ran 10.3's out of the box cam only. A few weeks later Sean was running the SAME EXACT converter as I.
Now, I don't mind this at ALL. We help eachother out here..
Sean runs a 29" tire on a larger gear.. I chose a 28x10.5W with a 4.10 gear..
That is the same gear mind you that i was running stock internals.
Also, I told so many people so many times that SD does not make you more power. It just removes the MAF as a restriction. If your MAF is a intake restriction then you will make more power. Can you not absorb this?
What in my setup is copied? I launch off the T-brake at WOT unlike Sean. I run a different tire/gear combo. I run a different trans, different rear end.. different front shocks..
I also tell Sean how much timing I run and where I shift the car.
Also, in regards to setting up suspension..
Let see.. I've cut a 1.42 Stock internals, and then a 1.31 cam only..
It's not that hard to line crap up with an angle finder and ruler.
First pass out with many suspension changes with the heads/cam setup, it cuts a 1.2 60' with a huge wheelie.. left straight and landed straight.. With 0 seat time.
Take your crap elsewhere.

I think I talk to Sean a little more that you do, he wouldn't fly cut because no one would do it for him. As for the rear trans combo you seen what he was running and went the less parasitic route. As as for the suspension how about all the PM's how do you keep the nose down, how do you do this, ect. And yes Sean was running a 9in converter, a N20 converter. But since you challenged his times he stood up to the plate and put in a Motor converter. Anything else you want to tell me? Jr.

When you first decided to go from SI to cam only the first thing you did was Sean what do you have and how did you do it. Next thing we know the same combo comes out just lighter with less parasitic parts.....hhhhhmmmm.

Are you serious?
Why would I go a more parasitic route? What sense does that make? My car is light as hell. It wouldn't make sense for me to go to a TH400 setup.
He put in the SAME EXACT converter I did. He didn't try to stick with the same brand or even the same size. He copied my converter exactly.
The reason I was asking how to keep the nose down is because Sean made it apparent to me that I would sit it on the bumper and crash into the wall. G.. does that sound good to to you? As I said in the post, thats why I started off my fronts so stiff.. And at the end of the day, with them at full loose and launching off of the t-brake I still couldn't stand it up.
Also, I had no intention to go cam only after I was SI. I just wanted to chill at that point but Louis came to me with some ideas, NOT Sean. It was LOUIS who lined me up with the G5X4, NOT Sean.
And I still do not have speedglass in front and rear... and my brackets aren't cut out like seans either.. AND my front fenders aren't swissed either.
Oh yea.. and i have a STOCK F-body seat..
I think you've had enough Son.. now go to your room.

This trash talk is good. We get to hear about all the mods no one talks about. Looks like its the weight and not the magical LG cams that makes these cars so fast.
Its only a matter of time before the both of them show up with t-buckets.

Alright, enough.
All this bullshit isn't going to change anything.
This is off topic and unnecessary.
I'm gonna do my thing.
Keith is gonna do his thing.
Louis is gonna do his thing.
Knock it off, or I'm gonna start deleting posts.
I'm not a vendor, I really don't care who does what or with 'x' parts 2 'x' weight.
It's over , everybody move on.

And right now i'm helpin my friend set up his car just like mine (weight wise) and then some and he's already got a T Rex. at 3150 he was running i belive 6.7 @ 101. should be around 2800 lb also here in a couple of months.
only difference is both our cars are daily drivers.

It just got a lil annoying with all the nutswingers hypeing the LG cams. Like it was the only reason these 2 cars are fast. Weight was most of the reason. And there is nothing wrong with it. Both of them were up front about the weight.
Its interesting to see what these cars are capable at max effort. Good luck to both at MIM.
