I-4 Warriors
Hey DB ... you 6-speed ... me auto ... you 410's .... me 3.73's ... sure would like to see the vids. If you have them downloaded, send some clips to jbrumley@cfl.rr.com. If you weren't spraying, that 40 mph roll was REAL good. Of course 20 mph roll is my 'sweet spot', so, maybe memory doesn't serve you well ... LOL > j/k!!!
Re-match is good. Since I changed my exhaust and ditched the cats, mine hasn't been tuned and my tune was waaaay off 'cause the last time tuned, it was tuned with cats on and the number 8 plug-wire was burned to the wire against the primary tube and was arc'ing bad ... didn't realize it until we took her off the dyno and heard the loud ticking noise ... sure enough brunt plug wire ... really threw my numbers off dyno ... it's 'pig' rich now, as well.
She's got a lot left in her. Give me about 3 weeks to give Mike time to schedule it in for a good tune and I'll lay the hammer down with you. No high speed rolls in traffic though. We'll take 'em out in the country a bit where it's safe and we'll go from a dig, a roll, or whatever you like. Motor-for-motor. If you spray, then, I'll go ahead and put on my Progressive port a little early and we'll re-match.
Deal Bro? Hell, we can just take 'em to the track and run 'em ... would be fun and good times. Hey, are both those your cars? ... the Z and the WS6?
And I hear you on the Cobra ... just watch out for a plain sorta' looking silver /03 Cobra .... think it's a Kenne Belle in disguise ... def handed me my ***. i learend form him this: If you're gonna' pipe somebody, you better be prepared to race them ... dude ran me down and kicked my *** in that thing.

did it still have paper plates on it. but does nlp tune on dyno and on street i still havnt got a tune yet but im going to wait till i get my 90/90 setup, new exhaust with x pipes, drive shaft and slicks. and yes both cars are mine im selling my z today to my brothers friend. so i should have my new setup and tune done in about 3- 4 weeks depending on how fast everything gets here.
i wouldnt mine putting up the vids but he said hes having problem with geting on the comp and i really want to put up the vid of the cobra and charger. made the charger look like it was standing still.
It's all good friend ... looking forward to our next meet .. 'cause you know it's gonna' happen ... LOL! No, the Cobra didn't have paper plates. I saw the one you're thinking of about 2-3 days ago ... didn't even act like he wanted to do anything, so, I left him alone. I don't mess with folks normally unless they ask for it. If you're wanting a full-up road tune, I'd go to Tim Sloper. I believe Tim is still at Macedo Motorsports. He'll dyno tune and then take it out driving and print up your injector duty cycle for you. He'll have you bring it back in the next week for final adjustments, as well. Congrat's on selling the Z28 ... pretty car.
About the vids ... were they good?

Verdad Gallardo Tim Sloper tunes at Macedo Motorsports which is a shop just off Princeton downtown. They mostly do Vipers, but, Tim has brought a lot of business there over the past few years. I've heard he does some track test tuning, as well.
I have seen a black Camaro with wide red racing stripes and red wheels running around town a few times ... also, my wife drives a stock 2002 Silver TA. Of course there's Hank who has a black trans Am with 2 stages of 250 each from what I'm told. His son drives a 35th anniversary yellow and black TA with twin turbos who is said to be pretty fast.

Looks like I'm seeing a few other F-Body cars in town and out on the I-4 slab. Gotta' get the bird to Bithlo and finally get a run or two in.
Three choices for me with these guys juicing their rides:
(1) Get a timeslip to hold up from a distance so they can't read it ... tell 'em it says 9.00 sec @ 150 mph.
(2) Do the progressive 200-250 direct port setup 6 months early.
(3) Sell my TA and buy a Honda so they stop f**king with me .... lol!
Last option just ain't the American way, so, I guess that's out ...
lol. thats funny thanks for the tires i realy needed them. last night i went and got the video camera from his house and tried it out on my comp. and i got it to work so i will be stoping by ur house soon to give u a copy and post it.
Sounds good and please be real careful on those tires if you're using them on the street ... over 25 mph, even in a light rain, will put you in the ditch or into another car. You won't really know the feeling until it rains. MT drag radials are THE best on dry pavement, but, on rain they're more dangerous than you can know dude.
Glad you got the video downloaded and I look forward to a copy of it. I've never seen my car on video from behind, so, it will be cool to have something like that to send to my brother up in Tennessee. TTYL.
What other F-Body rides are being seen on I-4? I'm seeing a Sh**load of Y-Body Corvettes.

You know ... never really thought much about it, but, you're right. One of the local clubs is prob like 70% Camaro's, 10-15% Corvettes, an Impala, a Saleen, and only a few 'birds. I saw a pewter WS-6 today (vert) ... haven't seen it in Lake Mary before.
