Default my car

since dyno day i have been getting alot of questions regarding my setup on my car and if people should go with heads/cam or go with a procharger ....i went with a procharger because ive always wanted a supercharged car and now i finally have one. later on i can add heads/cam tailored to a boosted car and swap a pulley and retune for more power. me being a nice guy if anyone in the area is on the fence about it i can show you my car and take you for a spin ....it has to be a nice day and i need a heads up cause of my schedule ...and on another note i would highly recommend don at slowhawk for his work,knowledge, and tuning capabilities.

Next time I see you, Ill give you a ride in the Buick (which SHOULD be a bit faster then), and you can give me a ride in the SS. Then a a race or two for the hell of it. Dig/Roll, either doesn't bother me.. But I will be spinning through first and second from a Dig.. If we do a roll, 60 is where it likes to be..

Haha, you could drive it if you want. I honestly don't mind. I don't blame you haha. I am usually careful. If I endanger anyone, its always myself and never another person. Anything I do is open road and no one in the car, late at night. Anyways, your car is mean! I don't expect to hang very long at those speeds.. Considering my car is a brick and you pack 230 more HP! But, until I get tires on this thing, its useless from a dig.. Tires will be a bit down the road after I melt off these BFG's.

We should do a little meet up with some cars and if anyone wants to ride or check out someone's car they can. Not going to sit here and promote street racing but we all know it happens so if people wanna be smart about it maybe a little of that. I'm in RI but willing to drive to Mass if people want to meet up.

Half of my four gears are useless. If I launch the car at 5 PSI (max my crappy 235's will hold), I spin up to about 45-50 MPH. I can get a decent launch if I go from idle, but once the turbo spools... Back to spinning.. I make a little less torque than Gangsta IIRC.

If its warm I chirp first, occasionally spin a few feet then just hook. Unless I totally bomb the launch. Once they start spinning it'll go into 2nd leavin rubber. I need more power!!!!
