Yeah I figured hold off on the 3" until I saw what the 2" could do. Now I know.

But all is good, I already got the expensive part. (Intercooler) Now I just gotta get someone to fab up the pipes.

Im only shooting for 750ish on pumpgas really, Kill Mode will be a whole different story.

I dont like breaking parts, just like anybody else. Roll racing is a good way to have fun and not have to bring a trailer with you everytime just in case. Can I race at the strip? Hell yes and I do enjoy doing it. My last car was a 99 Z28 with a yank PT4000, built 4L60E, 4.10's, full bolt ons and on tire. It was fun as hell, thats why the Goat will be my roll race/fun street car and the Fox will eventually be the trailer car drag *****.
Well maybe you should have invested your money in a rearend that will not go "snap" and in turn have a engine that makes maybe only 600hp??? 600rwhp + Ford 9inch= very good 1/4mile pass. Maybe instead of now pushing your car to 750 on pump you should build a rearend, but its not my car so I will not lecture you, what do I know I have a stock Z06.

while your having your top speed contest we will do some real racing...

Derek this Redbooty guy is completely retarded and some people, like I said, would rather drive their car to the moon swerving in and out of traffic at 160+ to prove how fast their car is.

X2, not having traction is a ricer excuse, get some better tires, or spend half as much money on suspension as you did your motor.



def got a good point haha.
unless you've got a truck, then the only way to get traction is with ten inch slicks...

in my neck of the woods there are no real races. just ricer flybys.

yeah i dont understand... if someone called me out and wanted to go from a roll i would probably laugh at them. My buddie has a Z with 2:73s and he could prolly get me if we ran from 40 til we ran out of gear. but when we really race, froma dig, i put 8 or 9 cars on him lol whos car is faster???

According to RB he can kick your *** on the saltflats, so that means your car sucks. Life is not a video game Derek we cannot all dial in a well built suspension to go from a dig like you.

I will take any. Roll or dig, I let the other person choose so there's no excuse when they lose.

Most people here are into roll racing though.

Here let me explain a little better since you dont understand basic english. I will explain it on your learning level:

GTO = street car
Fox will = Racecar

Why would I want to put a 9 inch under my fun cruiser street car that handles great with the IRS?

But you said it yourself, what do you know you have a stock Z06.

So you could do dig races. Thats why i would put a nine. If handling great was what you wanted why the goat?

+1 and WTF is a "Fox Will"??? Is that like a special edition Foxbody? Yea if you want to have something that handles better than a SINGLE TURBO GTO then you should go buy a miata or RX7

I will want a roll or a dig race from YOU in a little while here. I am going to pick up my New Z06 (2002 EB Z06) pretty soon here and it has a little bump stick in it. Where do you live and is it relatively close to me?

It means "Fox will equal a race car" (when he is done with it, thus the word "will" indicating future tense).
