I know it doesn't sound like alot, but to me it has been a long time coming. Hit 11's.

60ft-1.67
1/8-7.6
1/4-11.82
mph-116

All i can say is thanks to Jay at Absolute. She is a whole different animal with the new heads.

Congratulations! Is this your first eleven? I can remember my first eleven a couple of years ago and I was estatic. Felt like I was walking on air and on cloud nine. This is a start to even faster times. Again, congratulations................................... ..............

I would watch what you say on here. I was not going to post this on here but you forced me grannyshifting. Here is the story everybody- went to this guy for tunning. 2 full days off of work to get it done. Car runs like total **** now after his tunning. So i paid $375 for no tunning and $200 for dyno time and 2 days off work for absolutely nothing. So he let me borrow a asp pulley but i did not give it back due to all of the money i lost with this guy. Wouldn't you do the same? To let everybody know, do not go to f-body central for anything. Reply to that Jeff. You have no right to come on my thread and say this crap.

good to see you hit 11's, now go out and get a real tune and drop those 60fts and you'll be running low 11s in no time.

What are your 60ft times? At 118 -120, you should be there easily.

PM from GoinBroke:"But i though you guys were like partners or something. My mistake."~yes, your mistake, I have no stake there. I gave someone a pulley that I owned personally (Its not FBC pulley) to borow to help YOU out, and FBC out. Somehwo FBC made $350 bucks, and I lost a $200 pulley?
PM from GoinBroke:"Give me a phone number and i will call whoever right know and discuss this:~ you still have not called months later, and dont answer calls

You really have a hard time comprehending things. You did not go to me for tuning. You did not pay me for tuning. My laptop, my software never went anywhere near your cars.

You came up here for FBC to do your tuning. You didnt get your pulley in time to do so, so I gave my personal pulley to try and help you out/make it more convenient to you. I am not FBC, have no part in the "company" if you want to call it that. You said youd send it to me when you got home. You mislead me for a month saying youd sent it, then you admitted you were a liar with no intention of sending it back. A persons word should be worth more than that.

It can be public, it doesnt matter to me, I know whats right and wrong. I gave up personaly property so a) your life would be more convenient and b) so it wouldnt impede on FBCs business and allow you to make it up here. I have no obligation to do such things, but I said I would - so i did. You should do the same.

Here is your word:
"Hey Jeff, I am going to mail you that pulley because i just can't get the time to get out there. I got a question for you. I am selling my centerline wheels and the et streets. If you know anybody who is interested please let me know. The wheels are: front-15 x 5 and the rears are 15 x 8. I patched the nail hole from the inside so that is not an issue anymore. The et streets only have 4 runs on them. Thanks alot and talk to you soon. By the way,did you look at the atap runs yet? Thanks Shaun"

Private Message: pulley and question
02-04-2004, 09:48 PM

Its cool when you want me to do something for you I see? So tell me, what is your word worth?

The first trip up here was to dyno on ET Streets, with a nail in them (that came out on the dyno, wish you would have mentioned that you knew it was there BEFORE you came up here, could have hurt someone) I guess your first trip to the dyno was my fault, because of a nail you knew was there that flew out at 130 on the dyno? And I guess I was trying to "screw you" when I hooked you up with a decent pair of wheels/street tires to ride home on and dyno on a for a steal? Especially considering the fact that I stayed stupid late that night and to swap them wheels. You can keep that pulley, if you can give me back the time I wasted trying to help you, because it only benefited you and FBC, in the deal I lost my time, and my pulley.

I shoulda just told you to ride home on you flat ET Street, I definitely would now. No i take that back, Im a big enough man to do the right thing in any situation, no matter the circumstances. How bout you?

Obviously you don't know right and wrong. I like how you twist my words around. If you don't like who you work for and don't represent your company, then why didn't you tell me that before you screwed my car up. I still don't beleive your dyno results. How is it that a car making 435hp only runs a 12.3 in the quarter. I go back to ed wright tuning and run a 11.8. Hmmmmmm. How come it takes my car 10 minutes to find idle after you tuned it. Why does it stumble so bad after you tuned it. Any answer for that Jeff. Also, when i was selling my wheels and tire combo, i replaced both MT et streets with brand new ones. Get your facts straight. Look into my seller feedback and ask anyone i have sold to if they are not happy. You find one person who isn't happy. Who is the liar Jeff. And that great deal you gave me on the stock rear rims and tires. Tires are worn down and the wheels look black because of all of the scratches on them. Oh and the nice green valve stems that came with them for $70. Great deal Jeff. Only reason i bought them is because i had to get home. You are saying you did all of this stuff for me. Lets talk about what i did for you. Does anybody else take off work for a dyno tune and run aarons all day with the tuner and the tuners grandmother? By the way, i had no problem helping you and your granmother out that day. It was my pleasure. Maybe you can learn something from your granmother and fess up the truth about all of this. By the way Jeff, where are the atap logs i asked for about 2 months ago????? Thanks for everything you didn't do for me.
