No need to stereotype. I think I know more Supra owners than you do. There are plenty of them will to run from a did or whatever. Especially the autos.

less than half displacement? How many ls1 strokers are out there that are displacing 562ci or more?
Then get technical and count the displacment of the blower and thats a total backfire of an arguement. Maybe I just misread what you were trying to say.

Great thread!!! The one thing I must say is whatever side you're on you always think on the other side is a bunch of douches. I'm formerly of the blue oval crowd and I used to think the same about the LS1 crowd.

Although I must say that last time I asked to race a "terminator" he quoted his mod list and estimated rwhp, but didn't want to race, kind of dismissing me. Kind of pocked my *** a little.

Not really Detroit...a suburb of Detroit. Let me know when you come up.
I'll be sure to have my dyno graph handy.

Milan sounds good to me. Keep in mind that I'll only get in one pass before
getting booted.

how is Milan on Friday test n tune? They sticklers about stuff? I have long ARP rear studs, driveshaft loop, and a fire jacket, but other than that, no other safety stuff....I will be in the 10's on motor (probably just spray 150 shot so maybe mid 10's on spray). I will be using radials, full weight, etc. I need to get a decent track time, and know Milan is pretty decent. If not there, I will probably go to Norwalk.

They never used to be, but the have busted my nuts pretty well recently.
The last time I was there I made one pass. I went 11.0 @ 130mph while
standing on the brakes at the 1000' mark in hopes of slowing down enough
to not run a 11.49 or less. Needless to say, they kicked my *** right out.

I love Norwalk...great track. It's too far for me though only because
I don't trailer the car and I'd hate to break something and be stuck 3 hours
from home.

Hey unit, if you happen to go to norwalk let me know, it's not too far from me, and that's where they hold the dsm shootout.

I called Norwalk, and they said I would be OK on a Friday TNT session without my safety equipment. I think I will go there....about a 3 hour drive for me to, and I don't trailer either. And I hate to get stuck there with a broke 10 bolt as well!!!! Maybe I will trailer it there this time!

SDB

Chicago is a definate possibility, a friend of mine is from there and has a mid 10 second Typhoon...he says I should go there with him sometime as well!

You really think hes stock, hes from the chitown/midwest area were people race for money not for fun.

Lol 8sec cars are stock were I live, some people just dont get it. You dont post all your mods on this site either because its easy for people to look up and see what you have done/

It would be nice trailering the car, but I don't want to be that guy that
trailers in a 10 second car. I always laugh at that. There's nothing
funny about breaking **** and being stuck at the track though.

I'm not taking that chance. But...if you come up, I'm game. Win or

I raced him. Doug is a cool guy with a very quick car. When he's off duty, he is just like you or me.

Besides, I think everyone has been waiting to see your car in action.

SDB, you just been hangin' with the wrong Snake man. Most of the Cobra's out here will run anything. Lord knows I had my share.
