I do believe ACsnotrod rod is correct though he is required to run a stock induction a swell as Lsx front end for the class.

He has no clue and doesn't want one. Those are actually calculated 1/4mi times from 1/8mi runs. It's the brilliant thing to do to mouth off about 1/4mi times not yet ran. I'd suggest just rolling with it.

Yeah, i'm so off base guesstimating what my car will run. The nerve I have. Sorry the 1/8th mile track is 20 minutes from me and very convenient and the 1/4 mile track is 1.5 hours away. What do you think my car will run in the 1/4 mile based on my 1/8th numbers? I'll give you a hint (my car doesn't fall on its face like yours does). What does your car run again? Or are you too embarrassed to post it? You have ZERO room to talk when it comes to getting a car down the track because OBVIOUSLY it is beyond you. Keep reading up on GIZMO's setup and know that he gets down the track 2 seconds faster than you with less hp. Keep talking **** to FASTFOTBOY about his "racecar" when he's 2 seconds faster than you and street drives his car all the time.

GIZMO--sorry for shitting up your thread with this crap, but I don't let shots taken at me go unanswered, lol. Good luck at the shootout!

How times have changed... Honestly I don't care about your setup. Nothing about it is memorable or impressive. It's just another hacked out single plane in the realm of mediocrity. As said, you have no clue and do not want one. So what else do you need to bitch about?

Justify my car? How do you justify your 12 second turd? Let that sink in for a second, lol 12 second turd. WTF is wrong with your car? Less posting and more wrenching. Your car is BEGGING you!

My car runs pretty good for a stock shortblock car (there's that "justification thing, lol). I don't think its fast though. I think 9's are fast. I'm nowhere near 9's. It's not like i'm predicting a 1/4 mile ET from a dyno number or from a street race. I'm basing it off of what I run locally in the 1/8th. Is that so out of line?

I don't want you to care about my setup. I don't work on my car caring about what anyone thinks, lol. I drive my car and I enjoy my car. Please tell me what is impressive about your car? Go ahead, I'm all ears here. I know it is a 396 solid roller motor that runs like ****, and that you can't drive worth ****. Maybe it's real pretty. I've never seen a picture though. Post a pic please. I'm sure people talk your ear off asking what has been done to it to get it down the track in 12 seconds, lol.

You speak of mediocrity when you wheel a 12 second car. Holy **** dude, go look in the mirror. Say this outloud for me, "SS RRR has a 12 seond car and talks smack". LMFAO!!!!!!!! 12's are mediocre for a decent LT1 car with bolt-ons and 12's are a ******* joke for a stroker motor with a solid roller cam. If I put a stroker motor in my car and ran 12's I certainly would have the common sense to not talk smack. I think you're the one who needs to get a clue, LMFAO!

All this smack talk from you because I quoted Puck when he was making fun of you, LMFAO. Someone's ***** hurts!!!!!!! AWWWWWWW you poor baby!
