Re: (sigh) another new best... Why not sell the 42#s (tuning nightmare) and throw some used SVO 30#ers in? You can get em for $125 a set and they are really easy to dial in.

Re: (sigh) another new best... Congrats Terry !!! I caught one of your passes... looked great !! The DA was above 2000 feet all night and even hit 2700 feet at one point, I think you can get a low 1.40-1.42 60 ft once the winter air rolls in. Those Hoosier's hold you so well, I'm thinking about a pair myself now.
I think your new name should be Terry "wheelsup" Burger.
Too bad about what happened with the shooting/murder later in the night though.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
cheers,
Todd

Re: (sigh) another new best... Terry, let me get this straight you are running 127 mph @ a raceweight of about 3,250 lbs @ a DA of 2,000+ ft, according to a simple math equation that means your "heads/cam combination" is making approximately 550 hp - and you say your not spraying and have a 346 cid motor, hmmm? That's the equivalent of making about 480 rwhp thru a M6! Damn you've got one helluva set up there! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Re: (sigh) another new best... Its 20+ hrs from Philly too but I'm commited to making the Event one way or the other.
Guess the 3500lbs min. race weight and the chance that someone might wanna look the car over or pump down the motor has u smartly throwing out the BS line,"its too far to drive to that Event".
I knew u wouldnt come....
U have one of the quickest and now the fastest N/A 346 in the country and u wont be attending.
The guy who's NEVER short for words is suddenly full of it if u ask me.I take nothing away from you or your car Terry .
The car is IMPRESSIVE for sure but you look the fool not attending this race event and I'm entitled to that opinion.And FWIW if the shoe was on the other foot you'd be saying this to me and u know it....

Re: (sigh) another new best... Let's see if you factor in your DA, that would put you at about 525 hp, from your heads/cam combo., thats still about 465 rwhp in a M6. Terry what is your secret? Is that 229 cam that powerful?

Re: (sigh) another new best... JS you're welcome to fly out and check the car out/watch me in action. I'll even split the plane ticket with you and let you stay in my extra bedroom. I think it would be a lot of fun to meet you and the East Coast guys. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Maybe I can get MMS to sponsor the trip and take a few of their cars out. I wouldn't mind flying out if someone else could tow the car there. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: (sigh) another new best... Very,VERY impressive,Mr. Burger.
I guess all the homework has paid off.Whens the 388 going to be done?
Did you ever get that other LS6 head?
I would like to see a 10.5x before it goes in.....Maybe just drive to Texas. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
F-Houston! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: (sigh) another new best... Well maybe u can get one of your Cali cheerleaders to tow u to the Event.
I just find if odd the FASTEST 346 wont be attending..Truthfully I believe the car runs the number.I know that doesnt mean a whole lot u u as I'm no one important so it doesnt really matter what I think....
Hey maybe I'll come out to visit in the Fall.
Could u believe what people would say with U and ME hanging around together.The world might come off its axis <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
