The old guys never have said anything to us about where to park this summer, last summer I noticed it but not this year.
And they are the guys that set it up with BPS so we could hang out there, instead of giving them ****, a THANKS should be in order.

It's just sad trucks/trailers will take up more space than the cars if the trend keeps going. How many spaces did the F350 and triple axle goose neck rig take up, I would say 8 or more. When we start pushing out regular BPS customers we may loose the hang out spot.
Looks like next month the TTTQ will be formed. Team Turbo Trailer Queen club of Hampton Roads or maybe just call it TcubedQ of Hampton Roads
Kyle you gotten all your parts now? That was the biggest hold on my project and the 120 day "well have it done in 30 days" paint job.

on the way home last night, it started missing when I would take off from stop lights (let out clutch, give it gas, and the rpms drop and it doesnt want to go anywhere for a sec) Other than that, everything is fine. I figure ill pull the plugs and make sure I didnt burn any wires...
This morning I go to drive it to work, and I start it and let it warm up....everything seems fine, but then the check engine light comes on so I turn it off and pop the hood..I can smell coolant, but thats nothing new since it was leaking before (and we smelled it last night, but nothing was leaking). Well I look under the car, and there is a small puddle about 5'' wide...So I got under it and touched it and its coolant. I can see it on the front of the oil pan and on the Kmember....so either the block is cracked and the car drives but coolant is leaking from it (sarcasm)...or the water pump is going bad, or didnt seal when we put it on. All the hoses seemed fine, and I couldn't see any coolant leaking from the top of the motor...So, since I see it on the oil pan, and not on top of the wp, I think it's coming from under the wp...
but why is the CEL on? Will it come on if the wp is leaking?
I should've just sold this thing when I had the chance

Anyway, my point is, his latest creation, an 02 Z28 with 8000 miles on it that he just bought bone stock, has everything done to it already, that i want, as far as performance atleast, 228 cam texas speed stage 2.5 heads and a yank 3600 stall, and he introduced me to a guy that lives up here in newport news that tunes all of his cars when he mods them, and does it on the street and after riding in his car afterwards, u would have thought it came stock because it idles perfect and runs nasty. All im saying, is to me it doesnt seem competitve to pay almost $500 for a damn tune.
Jamie's latest car is freaking possessed, I have quite a few hours into that thing already and it's about 98% perfect. I've heard many horry stories about tuning TSP grind cams, and it seems they are true. I have tuned a TRex in an A3 before and it behaves better than Jamie's 228R!
BTW, my name is Chad.

all that the higher psi does is add more nitrous,we proved when we put in the bigger jets and didnt gain any more power that you engine doesnt want any more nitrous.you would be just wasting it.

Right now, I have software to tune all 1998 and 2002 F-bodies. I don't charge much though, and if you want to work something out we can purchase HP Tuners credits for other years of cars. I may pull the WBO2 out of my car though and make it portable, if there is enough interest. That way I can perform full street tunes, eliminating the need for dyno time. Just swap out one of your NBs and go

An 8 sec street car is more impressive being driven on the street than a 6 sec track car being trailered to a hang spot. But that is just my $0.02

Driving it on the street had nothing to do with why the motor went.....
26 psi of boost did.... popped the head gaskets...
while i pulled the heads we wanted to check the bottom end....
There was piston movement in the block....
as it turns out Best just did a coating on the sides of the pistons instead of ordering new pistons.... wish they wouldnt of done that....
Coating wore off and pistons were to small for the bore...
Decided to go with a forged crank over the stocker since it was starting to flex.... 1300 hp can do some things
About the OLD guys im not thanking them for ****... there *** clowns and i dont care what they do for it....... the way they treated us last YR was like we were crap and didnt belong... so what there not doing it this YR.
We can always hang somewhere else.....
Maybe they changed the way they think this YR, but that doesnt change what they did last YR. I know alot of us havent forgot....
Your car wasnt out there....... ours was....
I think its awsome these guys are bringing out there 6,7, 8 sec cars.... even on trailers....
Maybe someone needs to tell them to park there truck and trailer setups down by BJ's... so it leaves more room for more cars closer down by BPS.
Now alot of those cars that are there are driven there...... but from about 5-10 miles away......
Some wouldnt make it if they drove all the way to the beach and you know it.....
I just dont see the problem with trailering a car......
Its the same reason for trailering a car to the track.....
Most could make the drive, run some awsome ET's and then drive home...... but there is that possibility that something could break and leave ya stranded.
Mine was more of a street car before and ill prob still drive it some on the street..... but my goals have now changed with the car.....
Im waiting on my new pistons from JE.
Im swapping quite a few other things....
Waiting on my new Turbo also.....

****, if I could trailer my car to the track, then I definetly would.... (I guess if I didnt have so many other cars, I could have a trailer) I love driving my car, but its just the "what-if" when racing your car at track.... 6 krpm launches have the possiblitly of doing some damage.... with any setup.

Well i guess i would rather be part of the turbo trailer queen club and have a car that proves its self at the track than be part of the dyno queen club and tell everybody on the internet or bass pro how bad my car is.
no offense to anybody a bass pro-i love the place on sat night-just dont rag on trailered cars that have PROVEN themselves.
