What a thrill it must be to become a new member at a car forum, say douchebag troll things that prove you're a real *******, then get banned!

I suspect that many of your local townspeople want to strike you, and that quite a few already have.

Hey buttercup, maybe if I signed up today I'd see the fact that I can come across as a troll but I am far from it.

Why wouldn't you bother to mention that you were a good friend of mine and helped put the car together?

Obviously these guys are gonna think you're a troll.

For the record, turdgenfan is a friend of mine and helped me a lot through the build while at Race Proven Motorsports. He was there when I pulled the motor out and was there when I put it back in. He's only joking around, but I'll agree he is a douchebag and a troll LOL.

Took the car out again tonight in Newark, DE. Rides great and the thing just cruises in sixth like a dream. Came back to the shop to check it all out and hopefully we'll go take it to the Jersey Cruise tomorrow.

As far as how low the timing is, it's down about 3 degrees from where it will be which is quite significant on these motors. I'm not sure where it was exactly today, but I believe it was the mid teens. Jon was very strict about keeping this tune in the car until 800+ miles, so I'm sure he's got at least a couple tricks left for the tune... it's certainly not his first modular ford/SCT tune.

It's pretty slow.

13.0 @ 109.8 2.0 60' untuned with just longtubes. Went 13.3 bone stock....not bad for an ls1.

Maybe I can break into the 12s with the springs/tune/ and my 275s.

305 miles on the motor... gonna give it at least another 500 before we crank it up. I've got the other pulley ready to rock though.

We're gonna get the car on the new tune after break in on the same 20lbs of boost, and bring it to a Dynojet to see what it lays down there.

Then we'll put the C16 in the tank, get aggressive with the timing, run 25+lbs and get rowdy

Oh and to liven the thread up, here's some pictures of the car and setup. It's dirty, sorry.





Stock hood, stock rims and out of boost it honestly sounds like a Mustang GT. It's scary how tame the car is.

This thing rips! I'd prefer he keeps on it on the current setting so it lasts longer. That means more rides for me

Congrats and getting it all together Carlo.

Looks great.

There might be a 3.3 in the works from another manufacturer. We are also bumping up to a 383 stroker for my build.

I've been watching the Dragon Race kit carefully (seeing their pictures inspired my current project with the Whipple mounted on the pass. side of my motor), but haven't found anyone running one yet.
