Thunder 230 hauls ASS
Thunder 230 hauls *** Not sure exactly where to post this. Move it if needed. Just wanted to give the guys looking for a cam a heads up on the Thunder 230. I got a ride in Jason99TAs car Monday night and that thing is sick. It pulled like an animal in every gear all the way to 7000RPM. I couldnt believe how good it felt for a stock headed car. Once again, THunder has taken it to another level.
<img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> Thanx again Jason, awesome ride dude.Hope to see you soon....Speaking of that, are you heading to Bowling Green next weekend??

Re: Thunder 230 hauls *** Hey Ron, thanks for the compliments. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> It was nice meeting you and Josh Monday night. I think my clutch is broke in now. LOL At least the tranny stayed together. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
I don't plan on making Bowling Green. I have way too much school stuff to finish. I wish I could though.
Next time you are in town, I'll take you for a ride with the GTP stage 2s and the slicks. 1st and 2nd gear are going to feel sick. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Thunder 230 hauls *** Yessir, Jason's car definately lived up to the reputation it has on the boards. I figured it was going to fall on it's face in the higher mph with those stump pullin gears, but that damn thing kept pulling and pulling and pulling <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Bro it was cool as hell that you drove out of your way to meet us, then go rip in your car. I do appreciate it, and had a good time meeting ya. We'll definately be back down there soon to check out some of the LSU boody walkin around <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ...

Re: Thunder 230 hauls *** how does anyone feel about reving that high of an rpm? i have a cam like the 230 but with more exhaust duration. i set the limitor to 6800, should i rev even more?

Re: Thunder 230 hauls *** after looking at my dyno graph, and considering I have 3.73 gears, I decided to shift as late as possible. I shift at about 6800rpm with the limiter set at 7000rpm.

Re: Thunder 230 hauls *** Vince, Jasons car makes as much power as yours with stock heads and through a 12 bolt with stump pulling gears <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> He would mop ya up with ease...lol jk
Jason, I honestly dont know, His car flat out hauled ***. I havent been to the track with the new set up and XPs. He has trapped 121 in the 1/4. Best I ever got was a mid 120. It would be a good race. As for SOTP feel, I havent ridden in mine as a passenger to compare.
Justin, sorry bro, didnt know Hammond was kicking. Love to meet up at the Thunder shootout though

Re: Thunder 230 hauls *** Ron if Jason's car sounds anything close to how your's sounded then it's got to be a beast. Your car sounds bad a$$. Man I'm lov'n the seats. Bill told me that he got in contact with you - don't know why I never got your emails - damn hotmail haha. Told Bill that when/if he gets seats from you that I wanted to go with him just so I could hear your car again, may take a ride back up on weekend just for the hell of it- I'll let ya know.

Re: Thunder 230 hauls *** You guys take my MONSTER for granted.. If I had to do it all over again I would not have purchased Flow Technics heads.. Jason is lucky I am going to be a spectator at the Thunder Shootout.. It would be embarrassing to get beat by a guy running 8's in the 1/4 on F1's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Re: Thunder 230 hauls *** My friend just ordered the 230 reverse split. We'll be putting it in next week. He seems to think that this will be what he needs to keep up with me <img border="0" alt="[fight]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" />
I doubt that, but I hear good things about the cam. We'll put it to the test in a 99 TA, stock heads. Track times will follow install.
