Juice, my car has been down for months now, but when I finally get some time (at this rate, most likely not till next summer, haha) we should line them up again. I get the feeling the outcome will be slightly different this time.

Not to bad, yourself? Broke the 10 bolt at Lebanon Valleys opening day (it was on its last leg anyway), then let it sit for to long and the spot on the firewall I ran my line lock through apparently wasnt water tight... the entire driverside flooded. I have the interior stripped out now and am in the process of redoing that, then when I have some money ill get the rear end sorted out.

All of this conveniently right after my truck **** the bed (bought a new one, but that drained the bank account). Just havent had the time or money to get her back together yet.

I may be back down there this Saturday if some cars are willing to come out. The black GTR wanted to race me (Friends with John) but the female i had with me was throwing a hissy fit and wanted to go home. Plus I want to rematch everything I raced with the new tune

I will copy paste my time like a stripper with a recent boob job that wants to show her jubblies.

Go ahead someone ask me.
Be proud of your slips.


I know what you are saying, but most of the time when people ask me on here, they are doing it thinking that they are going to get something on me to use against me in a E argument.

That's why I'm like F-them, if they want to know, their sorry *** can dig into my post history and spend all day looking for it.

I miss my car haha. Good runs guys! Ju1ce your car is kicking some serious ***. I think Nightmare might have you when he puts the meth on though. His IAT's are through the roof.. I want to get some runs in with you guys, but as of right now the fuel pump in my Buick is junk, and I am 2 hours from home at school. Ordering a new DW300 pump and hanger assembly for it. Old one was in rough shape when I put the 255lph in there. Maybe we can get some runs in this year before the snow flies. I want to see how I stack against you guys with the new set-up.

stock cams are fine for turbo. there is a hell of a lot of power in the turbo and tuning to worry about a cam.

look man. the intercooler is not a crutch. you need an intercooler that gets you within 10 degrees of ambient.


exactly what intercooler are you using?

have you considered an air to water intercooler. if packaging is a concern that will fix it. you have scratched the surface of power from your existing combo.

that pt76 is capable of 750rwhp on race gas. 700ish on pump. you dont need meth. you need cooler iat's without anything else. you can CO2-spraybar your existing intercooler also, but thats a bandaid.

What timing and afr are you at during WOT, octane, CR, and what size turbo do you have?

Wonder if adding a turbo cam and couple degrees of timing would help with response. The 8.5:1 and it being an ls6 cam could be robbing some overall response/spool especially after the shifts. If you can do anything to get the cr to something like 9.5:1 that would help and running 93 octane with .875 lambda and low-mid teens for timing would probably aid that turbo can as well. A lot of these things are a bit more hidden on an auto car. Just my 2 cents

The LS6 cam is a pretty badass budget cam for boost.
