Ok....so he has 1/2 a race car with 2 people owning it. Not sure how that correlates to a dd na car. Please splain.

If all this forum cares about is speed/power then i wouldn't be the only one saying 12:1 compression. Especially since he's in Taiwan and they have higher octane.

Some of you be dangerous if you were actually as smart as you thought you were.

Don't forget that not everyone wants to hack up their car and spend money on chromoly this/that. All these 3200lb cars with driver are boring. You mean you can go faster with less weight???? Get something 3800+lbs moving is an entirely different game.

Exactly, either you have turbo and blower experience or you don't. Hiollary has a blower car that runs 11.2x...not sure anyone should be taking her advise.

My cobra is 3200lbs and my Shelby is +3800lbs, I can't say either are boring.

But ya, weight is a bitch. lol

3800+ thats what Im talking about. I fully admit I don't sweat the weight and know it won't be optimized or run like it would if it was a feather weight. Just doesn't interest me to go hunting for a few lbs here and there to remove all in the name of performance. Rather play with power than weight.

You do realize chromoly and steel weigh the same right......i guess not.

Btw i only have 3 chromoly pieces on my car.

Nothing hacked on my car at all. Have you ever seen it? How bout you ask the people who has before running your mouf.

Huh...more weight harder to get moving than less weight......really.....very odd. Then i guess weight reduction should be a part of every hotrod. Which makes me right again.

Yup....my blower car don't even have headers . It has 8.5 compression.....which is why i recommended more. To a guy that has better fuel than we do in north America. Go figure....no experience but yet has experience. Weird

That's how I am with the shelby. I pulled the easy weight out of it but I won't take it any further with a grinder/hole or hack saw. It's still very street and tries to kill me every time I go WOT.

Nope. Hiollary is that special.

8.5 compression, used stock cams, no head work and used the old heaton than some bum may or may not have tried to port. Then took ~5 years to get some sort of tune on it.

It likely makes less power than stock, good thing it's in a tin can fox or it really would be a turd. lol

So the easy weight is using high dolla race brakes which reduce braking capability, aftermarket bumper supports and who knows what else. But probably aftermarket chromoly suspension.....and we know how dbuttsniper hated chromoly.

yup....the engine was rebuilt back to stock. That's how i wanted it. Op in this thread wasn't rebuilding back to stock. Apparently you have a hard time comprehending.

It's really odd that you dumbasses like getting kicked in the head.

So courageous. It must take a lot to come here and brag about how your high-effort setups are still slower than the minimum effort turbo stuff.

More lies man. You won't win any arguments lying. Neither of my cars are gutted. And yes they can run with some turbo set ups. Just look at dbuttsniper cars. Now his us way more complicated with not only h/c but boost.

So swapping parts is hard for you?

Yes, it is nuff said.

yup....the engine was rebuilt back to stock. That's how i wanted it. Op in this thread wasn't rebuilding back to stock. Apparently you have a hard time comprehending.
LOL...only you would rebuild anything back to stock. Just buy a crate motor dumy.
Are you building the LS6 to stock too????

It's really odd that you dumbasses like getting kicked in the head.
No, that's you.

I called you out before.

Offered to do an engine dyno comparison with one of your glorified machine shop built overpriced N/A engines vs one of my bone stock truck engines with an $800 turbo setup across several categories.. Winner keeps the other's engine. I even offered you the massive advantage that you would win if my engine didn't win EVERY category. Then I offered to pay for the shipping of your engine since I was going to end up keeping it anyway. With your confidence and certainty, you had absolutely nothing to lose.

You bitched out. Plain and simple you bitched out.
Nobody cares that your N/A setups are ALMOST as fast. In the end, they are slower.
Stop trying to get a participation trophy.

:golf clap: The double talk is incredible. There's this whole BS of how everyone else's setups suck and aren't efficient or optimized, but at the same time doing this or that is "easy". Again, you mean if you take a bunch of weight out of a car it'll go faster? No kidding. If this rebuilt 346 that he didn't tune OR build doesn't run 9's its an embarrassment with all the time and effort and double talk. What still amazes me is that most on here (SRK doesn't count ) don't sit there and crap on his short comings and say stuff like the feather weight motor swapped blown fox couldn't run a 10 or a car he helped build had a major cam upgrade from stock and ran slower. Yet he thinks he has a license to put down every one else's setups, even if they've been faster and quicker than him.

Or you can just buy a car that's lightweight to begin with! Big brakes, big tires, big sway bars, comfy interior, and still under 3100lbs. I've gone 8's at 3700lbs and low 9's at 3900lbs and that's not nearly as much fun as driving a lighter weight car. All dynamics of driving improve with less weight, combine the same power that moved 3700+ lbs with a 3000lb car and you go a hell of a lot faster, but can also stop faster and handle turns better... pretty epic for a street car.
