He has always mentioned weight reduction and there are threads where he shows what is done and date,time and track. He runs at Mason Dixon which is a **** track(sans two runs at MIR on a test and tune night-he should have went during the day but didn't listen-prep much better). Not sure of the air quality of those runs but most people don't know,care or mention that in their threads. I think again you are over reacting concerning his car. Many of board members worked on his car-there are no secrets. When you examine it-its make sense the way it runs. Lots of weight reduction in terms of rotating and recipicating. No rocket science and no tricks-just hard to spot or not visible(ie holes drilled in axles,lower control arms etc). I looked at it-my car has more power than his and he would punt me off the road so I have no feelings one way or the other. Your car has gone faster than his. Period. You win that argument. Feel better?
DA plays a huge roll in times. It absolutely should be included when discussing results.
I have run at some **** track myself along with test and tune nights. Traction is never consistent on those days regardless of what track you are running at. The 11.00 pass I made was on a T&T night.
Back OT...

I don't know. I don't go to the track in mid July. I do this
But if it any consolation I do not ice down nor do I or the car like long cool downs. To be honest I don't even like to turn it off on test and tune days. I like to make laps.

LS3's have the issue as well.
I asked direct questions which many were sidestepped or ignored. That is what draws out the skepticism. If he has already posted it then link it. Pretty simple. I am not going to spend hours searching for it buried in various locations.

So you've made 1 11.0 hero pass. I've went 11.1 the last 4 times at the track. Damn rear keeps me there.

Never discloses mods or admits to weight reduction... (give me a break.... are you upset he didn't mention it for the 100000 time to you specifically?)
Many of the guys here are completely open about what they run and you can easily find the details in the million threads/posts they have made detailing what they have/have not done to their cars. Just because he didn't collect all of the information and present it to you doesn't make him dishonest... he doesn't owe you anything.

I don't claim stock suspension. All my mods was in my sig. As far as the brakes go.....your the problem. Now your trying to make it sound like my Baer Eradispeeds are drag brake. Which they are not.

ok i notice allot of brake fade issues. every one does know that taking any brake pads with street compound to a track will result in brake fade. rotor size has very little to do with fade resistance when using a pad out side of it's temp range.
and a 4000lbs 500-600hp vehicle is going to generate allot of heat.

It isn't he ran xxx..Its the claims of retarded mods that he see's as stock. Or the fact he says has stock tranny yet its a beefed up faceplanted tranny/. Mise well be an auto. The fact he claims stock suspension yet its been drill/cut etc etc to lighten. Swapped brakes and this and that. Then his car always traps around 126 yet bang one time at track it picks up 33mph on the back half. Yet Odarabla's car don't even pick that up and it runs low 10's N/A and is a h/c and other stuff and makes way more power. His **** don't add up. Yet he makes these claims of times cause they in almost -1000 DA yet tries to compare to cars running in the summer in TX that are still faster then him. How he always bitches about some ones mods yet they are still faster and most have less done them him. Or how he wines when some one uses a gas he didn't use. How it has to be his gas or it don't count.

The only time anyone seems to give a **** about DA is when they are trying to discredit someones time that went faster than expected. Run your car in +5000DA and have a 13 second time slip and no one gives 2 *****. I always get time, date and location from the slip and go check the DA myself. Honestly I don't go out of my way to provide the DA when people either don't know what it is or don't want to take it into consideration. I agree with you on the DA thing..should be pretty easy to calc two slips and get an idea of just how far off the cars are from each other.
