I should be far enough ahead that I can coast to victory when it does blow up. I figure if gears 1-3 hold up I will still beat devon, he isn't that fast anyways

Heads up off a protree, let's see if you can 60' that bitch with the 6-speed, i'm gonna say ur gonna blow the **** out of the tires and be way too slow on ur shifts to even think about beatin me in a 1/4 mile race!

Crystal - bring your purse.




There's quite a few guys that are writing how fast thier car is "going to be". Don't y'all need to be putting more "if's" in your statements.
"If my car is fast, I'm going to..."







Now that should stir it up a little

Well my **** already went 10.0's with traction issues, so if I get those traction issues resolved just on that same shot I should go 9.7's or better, but if I don't, then i'm sure an extra 200 horse should drop me at least a half second! Plus I never really had her running right on the 150's, ran way too rich! Can't wait to have her tuned!

I hope so, I just spent $730 after shipping for a madman t/a to try and help solve my hooking issues, so I really hope she starts to hook up (which i'm sure she will, cuz that's the biggest difference I saw between my car and the cars that hook was the kind of t/a)! The t/a just came in tuesday and i'm headin to my grandma's today (have the day off) to pick it up and take a look at it, probably bring the car in monday or tuesday to get it installed cuz the crossmember needs to be welded in and I can't weld so I can't do it myself.

I was thinking about getting one of his t/a's too but damn they're expensive! Let me know how it turns out, if its worth the $$ I'd get one. Otherwise I'm thinking about getting a spohn ta with the d/s loop.

Well I just got to my grandma's and the t/a is a really nice piece and looks twice as thick as the bmr full length I had! It too has d/s loop which is good cuz I didn't have one on the car! Only thing that sucks is the stupid *** shipping company like demolished the box and everything is surface rusted! So I guess i'll have the guy installing it sand off the rust and paint it black.
