hehe I'll let him give up the detailz. I checked out your ride at Norris last night and looked at your suspension setup, pretty sweet.

I think Dave is gonna need to run the same size slick as you for sure, if he can get the thing to hook you guys will have to linem up!

Yes red car will be much faster but harder to drive off the line. I cant believe how fast the rpms come up with the TP4400 and 10lbs of boost. I`m gonna sneak out to the track one night before BMP on Sat, just so I can see how it will react off the line. I might have too much converter for that much power but if it does hook it`ll probably do a pretty good wheelie(that might be scary!!!)

Don't worry about posting any numbers I know a certain somebody who was at the shop today
<<<<<<



No testing allowed!!!! LOL. Probably not a bad idea before making the long haul Sat. I will say with your ring/pinion + that first gear in your tranny = hold the f on! Give me a call and let me know if you got the shakes after your run.

Sounds like Jeff wants a little wager. I'll bring cash BTW, my car only makes 508rwhp. So does that mean I get the hit?

Was getting worried I would have no one to play with.

I wanna see a 3 way race between Lee, Next and Caveman.

It will be cool if the Caveman can get that car to hook, I'd like to see how much he can pull the wheels!

Big G, let's get you that "10 Second Club" under your username and ditch the "registered user".



Lee, I'll give it hell and hope for the best.

I hope to be in the 10 Sec Club this weekend. We will see if the 10 bolt can stay together. If not it should be one hell of a show.

Good deal, I have to change my tranny fluid get my new MT drag radials mounted and fix that rattling heat shield tomorrow and I`ll be ready for Bradenton and No Bull . I talked to Ronnie at Century Trans (he`s the guy that does all their race trannys)today he said that tranny should be good up to 750 rwhp , they have 3 or 4 cars running low 9s on the same buildup I have. He also said I can run the car in 4th(OD) it has 9 of each plates and is a very strong clutch pack, so I wont be running out of gear or hitting the rev limiter going thru the traps.

You should bring that car to the No Bull in Orlando on Sun after BMP. I know you race alot so you should be able to cut a light on most of the guys there. I would love to see your car spank some of the bigtime street racers from around FL., maybe I can too but you`ll have a better chance.
