Hey whats up? What's david king been up to? I haven't seen him in a while. Last I talked to him, he was doing some boltons. Where is he getting tuned at? Is he tuning for those bolt ons, or is he up to something big?
I did the tuning for him with LS1Edit. All he has done right now is boltons with headers. His car is running great now!

I understand racing from a stop is how you do it, but the only straights around here in the mountains of NC are on the interstate, so coming to a dead stop is really dangerous. We've tried it before, but people coming up behind at 80 mph don't expect 2 cars to be stopped and blocking the interstate so by the time they realize it, its too late.
Relax dude. I'm not attacking anyone or trying to be negative. I'm just saying do it from a stop. If you can't find a relatively safe place on the street, take it to the track. You seem to think I'm attacking you. I'm not.

DragonZ28,

I know your not attacking me. We can do it safely from a roll, but not from a stop, thats what I'm trying to say. If it was safe to stop on the interstate, we would. The safest is around 30-40. Anything slower is getting dangerous, a stop is kind of crazy, unless you start in the middle of a straightaway, then you can see behind you a good ways and make sure no one comes up behind. Our straightaways aren't that long, so we usually start at the beginning, which means there is a turn right behind us. Cars coming around the turn wouldn't have much time to react to a blocked interstate.

It's good footage of your car. It sounds sweet as hell too.
Cool, ya the races went pretty well, definately fun. Hopefully I'll be getting my gears installed this next weekend and getting my car dynotuned as well. I hooked up the laptop today and found out I'm running waaaaay lean. I'm not sure if I'll be up there tonight, I might be driving through to go to a party or something but I should be up there next weekend. I'd definately like to see the video's sometime too, or get a copy of them if possible. Tell your bro good runs.

Well, I went the alcohol free way and hit the pillow early. Felt good not waking up with a hang over. Nice day for us here in the carolinas. Guys what are you going to be doing? I figure I will wash the Dodge, wifes car , and do something to the SS. What, I don't know. This waiting game from AS is going to kill me if I don't see anything by the end of March.

Any good races last night? I plan on bringing my brother inlaw up there next Sat. Anyone going to be out? He has a small block S-10 that he thinks is fast. He needs to see some of these Ls1's . We won't have the s-10. Its in Michigan . Will be in Big Rig.

Sly,

Whats up. This is jon's bro (mike). Yeah that race was pretty fun! You were going into some of those turns tooo fast! Your car sounds aweosme though. I thought mine was loud with the exhaust cutout, but you were draining me out. Now can you see why i like the 40 roll on. Its perfect for me. You got me pretty bad the other two times though.

So, what do you think i should do about David King? (silver ss). He said he wanted to run me for 100 or 500 bucks. He's got headers and bolt ons and ls1 edit! I'm pretty much stock! And i think he wants to go from a dead stop. Anyone on here know if a stock 03cobra can beat an ss with those mods. Its a 2001 ss! Appreciate any help!

You will lose. If the SS is an A4, you will lose very badly. Take 15 mins and do a pulley swap and get the Predator or a chip. That'll even the playing field.

Unit 213,

Its an M6. I don't think he'll race me from the roll. I think i might be able to take him from a roll on, But from a stop i have bad traction and wheel hop.

Do you think with the m6 he will still win?

If he races for the 500 bucks ill do the pulley and chip! Then ill smoke him!

Not that it matters, but, it is a 2002 SS and David can really drive that thing!



Mike, you have a beautiful car. I would like to see it run. Maybe you guys should take them to Shadyside and run them there. A lot safer there than on the streets. Cops are taking street racing very seriously around here lately.
