Sorry i couldnt wait to see the man's car doing his usual 800+ always a treat. but got to drive to NY tonight.

Don't forget now, that was an A4... had it been an M6 we would have seen 330-340 pretty easily! As we did last year on a GTO or two....

Brent your car is simply insane! I'm up for a blower trade when you're ready to upgrade to the F1-R considering your D-1 puts out 200hp more than mine... Really, I just want a polished blower!

Nice numbers all around today. From baselines, new set-ups or just recent "tweaks"! Congratulations guys....

Marcel- Next time we'll both have to dyno! Perhaps then I'll have a cat-back and maybe a cam... I'm coming for ya!!

Finally, thanks Don for putting it all together it was a great time! Good seeing a lot of you again and meeting a couple new people! See you out there!

Yeah I couldnt make it. I was working on putting in the new exhaust. The new one went in without a hitch. The goddamn loudmouth was rusted solid at all of the connections. Had to cut it out. Anyway I wish I could of showed up.

Glad to meet everyone! It was good to see some new faces, and a couple of old ones that I haven't seen in a while!!

Speedy next time you and I will be going at it! I can't wait to see what numbers you put down once you get an exhaust on your car.

Yeah I'd say Mike's car is making some power
Tell Tara I didn't mean any disrespect by not racing her. I don't race on the street, and it would be dangerous with my crappy rear tires anyway. I'd be glad to race her at the track sometime though

Thing is... where's the contest?? The way I see it is, the only way you'd lose that race would be if you missed a gear or two... otherwise you'd have to spin out or something worse!

Marcel- I can't wait either.. but I have to save my pennies you know!

thanks for getting it tuned and put back together for me don, you to keith/marcel...i finished most of it but work porked me the next day.

It ended up making 827rwhp at 14psi on pump gas with the new cam. The curve is completely different so it should make it better. Sometimes bigger cams dont make much more power but they do help with other things like lower end pressure and waht not. Im happy with it and dons killer work, esp on the alt bracket.

those polished blowers really put out the power. Don't worry by mid summer I'll be bored and Don and i will be talking about something. Youre right, a M6 would go another 20-30, amazing for a comfortable, good looking 4 door

Hey Brent, running 13's in a vette is like running 10.4's in a f-body. So I think you already qualify for an upgrade!

I'm not hating, I'm just saying.
