Re: Terry Rumour

It would sure be nice to have another "Eastern" car come to CA to put everyone here in their place.

Problem is, 12 sec Eastern cars run 14's and 10 sec one's run 12's. Oh well...

Must be the "new math"... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Terry Rumour

LOL, now you are grasping at straws!
BTW Those are MY pistons I bought from Terry way back when...

They were never in any car, and he sold them to me off ebay.

I believe I can post, I have the magical 10 second slip.

Re: Terry Rumour

Ryan any guy willing to drive 500 miles for a set of pistons is OK in my book. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Terry Rumour

Besides, look at the bore size. It clearly states 4.06 with a compression height of 1.43". Those are for a .060 over bore 6.0L.

Also, they are currently sitting on the shelf in my laundry room.

Re: Terry Rumour

I've asked the California folks who said that Terry's motor was apart due to coolant issues to step up and identify themselves. Sounded like it was true because he knows Terry's car but it looks like it was only just a rumour.

I actually get a kick out of all the banter and don't have a problem with people ragging on Terry. I do my fair share myself. I just thought this was inappropriate because something was brought up about what MMS is doing which was unsubstantiated.
I do what I can to resolve customer problems, but sometimes there is no agreement, but don't associate Terry's actions with MMS. It's liks assuming that if you know that someones bestfriend is an *** then everyone associated with them are asses too.

On a side note; if we put on a race in the West, say AZ or Vegas how many people would come??

Re: Terry Rumour

Mike, if it was in AZ, I will come to race. They shut our track down here in ALB 2yrs ago. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
I need to test this new ATI kit out, Do you have your new crank pulley up on the site or any info about it.
I currently have the 3.4in(7psi) pulley and the 3.2in(9psi) pulley and don't want to spin the motor very high. My redline is @6300 rpm. Will this crank pulley help me get into boost faster without revving the snot out it?
Thanks,
Jeremy B <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
