Default Me doing a 1/4 mile pass on the dyno

No big whoop, my first video. 1st run bogged a bit, 2nd was much better. Hope it's enjoyable for someone. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/F...0D6894C514.htm

That always makes me nervous, the loading and unloading of the straps betwen gears worries me. I've seen some high hp cars nearly leave the dyno doing it, maybe it's just the person strapping those cars. Cool video though, looks like fun!

Yes I am leaving alot out of my sig. I'll update it when I get a chance.
plus there is no way you would ever launch that good on street tires at a track
It is totally feasable to get a 1.5 60' on 245-50 16's I said the thing was close, not dead accurate. I run 28 inch slicks at the track.
That is some of the dumbest **** I've seen to date.
It's alot of fun, if you don't like it that's fine. It was more or less to test the dyno, it was brand new.

What does that have to do with the shop I get my car worked on at? I can't drive. That's what happens when you shift at 5,000 RPMS and leave at 3,000, on top of the small cam (222 duration) etc. All the decisions on the car were made by me, not the owner of the shop. So again it wasn't the shop.
But you probably can take your car to another shop around here, they like to dig up old threads and bash other shops to boost buisness. (Considering I posted this a while ago and went to the track last sunday) Not really a place where I'd wanna take my car, but to each thier own. Besides the place I take my car too had to stuff over 20 cars into thier shop tonight, So they're doing something right for people who can actually drive.

Yeah I know. When I was kicking the crap out of my car on the dyno, it was almost the same way I drove at the track. AT THE TRACK I ran a 11.7 @ 119 (right after I had gotten back from Iraq) with little or no seat time.
This however is not a dyno debate. This is about mudslinging by a shop on another forum. They think the shop I take my car to cause me only to pick up only 2 tenths with a 75 shot. Well anybody with a brain can figure out that is due to poor driving/driver error/ or the driver not caring about his times cause it was a shake down run with only the second time he's piloted the car since Iraq and the 1st time ever running with nitrous.
