I Want A Refund Ellis
I'm not sure I like this latest tune you put in my car. I mean it idles rich as hell now. It's so bad Linda has to hold a napkin to her nose at stop lights. Damn dude.....
Of course I did just hang door-to-door with a yellow GSX R on I 5 from a 70 mph roll. Not sure where we let off....somewhere past 110 cuz we had traffic a 1/2 mile in front of us. He had a girl on the back, and we had the t-tops off & the windows down, so the handicap was about equal. A double thumbs-up race.
And then I had to show some guy with a loud 300SX that V8s are better. I let him go first from 40mph, and then fish-tailed away from him convincingly. He pulled back along side & told me that wasn't fair.
So, get yur *** over here & fix it, will ya?

Yeah, I'll never hear the end of this from him.....thank GOd we weren't in your car. The worst part is when I hit it at 70 the ***-end kicked slighty to the left. Maybe I need Danny to look over the dif too?
PS I tweaked the VE down 5% at idle & it's better now - LTFTs are -.8 to - 2

Nope It is cert to 8.50 and 150mph. I plan on designing a 'Chute bar then it will cert to 180Mph
IF I go faster then 8.50 I WILL build an entirely new car and find sponsers
I will post a few pics soon. I have been so busy I can't even start to paint the cage so I can start putting it back together.
I DID take it out for a drive yesterday Just another real street car

A guy can only take so much egging-on, right?
So I changed lanes & pulled along side him & goosed it a little to let him know I wanted to play. And instantly it was on. It was probably the most even race I have ever had. I bet neither of us gained or lost more than 6" as we went thru our power bands.
And as I look back on it, we let off around 130.....the car hit it's peak in 3rd gear just as I lifted. It was fun, and we had plenty of room to keep it safe. I've always wanted to race one of them and he seemed like a cool guy.

Hey Mark, I just noticed in your sig (was checking the competions numbers, hehe) you run a Cam Motion cam, that's who did my custom cam. Still going to turn the wick up this summer?
I made a vow to myself when I raced that Lambo through the s curves in down town Tacoma's I-5, not to be so foolish any more. Man approaching the 140mph barrier with some traffic, scared me straight. You have to be ready a 1/2 mile ahead it seems. I know you said no traffic, but be safe out there.

Yepper, I run a custom Cam Motion grind. Jimbob, Ellis & I talked about it for quite a while before we agreed on the lumps. Certainly not a wild cam, but it seems to make pretty good power & still have a nice sounding idle. Which is the compromise Ellis talked about...

I would have done the same thing if there was enough room to do it safely. I just don't appreciate being told to pull my head out of my *** when I do it and then
when somebody else does the same thing they get a pat on the back by the same people.
Did you get a look at what size bike it was? What does you car trap these days (mid 130s???). Sounds like a liter bike. You should have come to the track on Wednesday. My pretty much stock GSXR went 10.37 @ 138 with my fat *** on it. Would have been a good race.
