Thanks hotrod, yeah its almost not fair to run from a dig on the streets. I know that is my biggest advantage, but at the same time the guy in the 5.0 has some rear end issues so I'm willing to give him his race. I don't run hugger anymore from a dig because it was pretty brutal. A well prepped track did help him though

sounds about right, it was painful.
uh oh, sounds like I have a good chance against the balt

any track time coming up? I would love to see what it'll do

hey, I got out on the bimmer from a dig (barely)!! but he still got me by a couple cars once we shut them down.

hopefully I can still look forward to a turbo upgrade this winter and that will make things very interesting.


cool vids, sorry I couldn't make it that day.

Nice, Once you get that turbo upgrade it's time for redemption. Id like a crack at it one and off meth if you like.

Btw, now that I shortened up my lines the pump is staying primed. I hopped in the car the other night when I landed at ohare. The first time I got on it my gauge was reading that I was full spraying without issues. I should have better luck at the strip now

I'm always around fri-sun. I only travel sun-thurs. Problem is that when I'm home I'm Mr. Dad.

Btw, I'm done modding the bimmer. I don't think there is much else out there I'm willing to do. The only other mod I could see myself doing is a used c63 amg upgrade

Jay, no prob. will be fun to see how it does against the cobalt. roll will be interesting, but not sure if you'll catch me from a dig.

be fun either way.

Will, no prob as well. I'm hoping this winter is good to us at work and that will allow me to afford the turbo upgrade. you can run the car however you want, it's all for fun.

would love to run other vehicles in this area to see how mine competes, but do you know how damn tough it is to get people to mess with a truck?!!?

tried to get a c5 to go yesterday and he just shook his head like he didn't want to bother.

Lol, I get those, are you serious looks all the time. I look 20 and am in a 4 door bimmer. No one takes me seriously and I get "daddy by that for you?" more often than an actual race. Hell there were a couple of guys at Byron that probably thought I was full of **** because they couldn't figure out where dem turbos be hidin' when I told them my setup.

Oh well, If you need gopro ahead of time let me know.
