Default TTP Project Car "Running on Empty" Video

Running on Empty

Bone Stock suspension, 3560lb car + driver.

Put together a clip a little bit ago. My partner, George, beats on a bunch of cars in the video. The street racing clips are vs. a Cartek C5 LS6 Stage 2 X Package car.

The 10.7 pass you see is on a 75 shot of juice. The other track times (11.1x) is all N/A motor. There was no nitrous used in the street racing portion either.

Look for new videos and times within a few weeks on the new motor.

Brent: This was on the old cam and heads package before George did extensive porting/polishing to finish up the CNC job and a valve job on the heads (They had stock valves). We have done some extensive modifications over the last 8 months since the first motor grenaded. We don't feel like getting into all the dyno number hype, so we're going to bring it out and we'll let the E/T do the talking. Remember this car still weighs in 400+ lbs heavier than yours.

In a car that isn't stripped down, yes it does. Alex needed a 75 shot on CARTEK H/C to run a 10.7...

Why do you have to turn this into a pissing match? What blatant disrespect.

Exactly.

These runs were made over a year ago, before *a lot* heads/cam cars were in the 10's. Obviously George's car was running better than the competitor's at the time (As seen numerous times in the vid). It was in a mild CNC ported ls6 head, stock valves, and the ASA cam.

Pendragon: We were just posting a video up of some street racing. I didn't need Brent to shove his nose into my thread but since he did I'm not going to let him attack us and not speak my mind.

Anyways, we'll have some more video clips hopefully next weekend

If u wanna say someone was starting **** just look at HOW the post was represented.

Look I dont wanna get into a pissing match but IMO this is taking a shot at Cartek,Nothing more but everybody breaks ***** once in a while

But IMO to say a ASA cam w/1.8 rockers/BIG 250CC ported LS6 heads milled .050/TP4400 verter is mild is also rediculous Matt.Thats a stout setup PERIOD but I do agree George's car is still 3500lbs and you cant argue with that guys,his car ran very well...

js my car did not have 1.8 rockers at that time and they were stage 1 ported heads because of the stock valve sizing makes them a stage 1 head which ran strong but was not all out like most guys had and i have 1.8 rockers now but with a custom cam not a asa cam now i consiter my car wild but it was not then just please dont quote my car when u dont know it or never seen it in real life because i would not do that to yours ok the video does have a cartek car in there"record setting " at that time so it was a great feat to be able to race with him and win he had major top end and ran me down every time at the end of the night we did a roll on he pissed on me pulled me by 3 cars my car is all hook and very impressive on the street but top end it does not have so just let people watch the video and enjoy and people like to know the cars so it is said whos and what they are matt just discribed the car for the viewing public view and reply good or bad thats all thats nessesary not cartek bickering

george
