Default a few good races.

well me and a few guys around here went out to play a little tonight.

first up was me with mods in sig, skinnies, and et streets, against an 01 z28 m6, full boltons, weight reduction, skinnies, drag radials, and 100 shot. has ran low 11's on spray.

40 roll to 110, we were dead even, with him inching on me when we let out.

from a dig i bogged bad, he spun bad we went to 120 and i had about 1 1/2 on him, i think he was slow going into third on this run.

second run from a dig i spun bad and he spun a little, i pulled him down low a little, but around 100 he came around me and put 1 on me up to 120.

next up was me against a 98 z28 a4, 230ish cam, geared, stalled, built tranny, full bolt on, weight reduction, skinnies, drag radials. has ran 11.80's.

from a dig i spun bad and hit second and thought the clutch slipped so i let out.
next run was from a 15 roll, he jumped me bad, and started pulling, then i stopped his pull around 70, and came around him around 90, and had 1 1/2 on him around 115.

so all in all i was pleased with my car. they were a bit skeptical about my car and the tuning, but now i think they have a little more respect for it
and remember, mine was full street trim, spare, jack, amp, seats, and 3/4 tank of gas, weighing in at 3620. im sure theirs weighs in around 3450 or less.

thanks for the tuning Greg.

I bet that felt good,didn't it!?

Time to start adding some of the little things we talked about and getting more time in at the track. You should easily run 11.50s the way your setting right now.

Kelsey it seems that you run better from a roll, why would you want to go to the track where that doesnt happen?? Car runs good no doubt, prolly has more in it. I really dont think you want to see me at the track though. As for that comment from greg, when have me or marcus not showed up for a race?? Hasnt happened.

All right guys just a little **** talk.
Yea that n2o will really shine at the track against a cam only bolt on car Brian. I will come and hold both those nitrous bottle for ya'll. Slow98Z's car is pretty impressive for a bolt on car. As for your cam only setup I have seen that cam go a lot quicker than you have got it to without nitrous of course. On a average day at RRR you no bottle full race trim and Kelsey in full race trim I predict Kelsey will win by at least 3 car lengths. I can hook you up with a couple of local guy's in your area if you think you need that spray to win a race.

Damn, 3 cars. Thats alot to back up. True the cam went 11.20s in Scotts car. Lets see here though. Scotts car at the time was a gutted out track car.Also a few more things at the time were its a hardtop,no power anything,racing seat,hardly any interior,4.11s and a 4400 converter. Theres the other 5 tenths. No disrespect but that at the time was what he wanted his car to be. Hell Im still listenin to my system goin down the track . I will gladly take that 3 car length bet anytime of the day. The nitrous would only add insult to injury. Oh and dont mention that its a LS6 Head/MS3 vs my little ol 232 cam only setup. Damn it takes that much to beat me nowdays?? I must be doing something right huh?? oh and to kelsey you dont get a rolling start at the track and if you thought it was bad outta the hole the other night you dont wanna see the track.

To answer your question brian,all i had out were the seats and rear panels,my car is power everything with none of it removed,stock seat was in it when i went 11.20s with that cam so most of your facts are off key.

If i remember the night you called me out yours was setting like a "gutted out race car". I added the race seat and lightweight carpet that summer and changed the cam to the MS3 to try and run 10s with a cam only setup....OH! i forgot i added another 80lbs to the car with a roll cage,since hallsville kicked me out for not having one.

Marcus yes you can spray i just what to see a little cam only a4 against cam only six speed action. Brian do a little checking a few 02's have had 243 casting heads from factory. 3 cars lengths was a conservative guess. As far as little 232 vs ms3 what is the problem when I do run a little cam B1 vs your 232 and I have not one weight reduction and I can stay within 3 hundreths of your times na every day mostly on the quicker side thats where the 3 car length prediction came from as I know kelsey will put at least that much on my car.

Damn all this **** talk and kelsey hasn't said a thing. Brian you and Marcus might have scared him off the other night. Scott you might have try and find those other nitrous solenoids so I can get the stuff back on my ride.

I knew you where going to say that. I have been wanting to try out a new dry shot set up I have been thinking about after we put the wet kit on Scott's car. I have all the electronics still on the car just need a n2o solenoid and no 3 line to the fan spray nozzle.

well damn, looks like ive been missin all the fun, i just now got home from work. 12 hours suck!!! Brian, you're right, i wont see you at the track, you'll be behind me
i think i proved that my car is making a good amount of hp more than yours. on the roll run, i was just fixing to honk it off when you nailed it, it caught me way off guard. so i nailed it when you had a half car and pulling on me, i stopped your pull in second and it took about halfway through third to start pulling on you, and then i put at least a car on you up to 115 when i let out. so lets do the math, you pulled about a car on me because of the jump, and i wound up at least a car ahead of you. thats 3. not to mention having to stop your pull. you really arent gonna like what you're gonna get at the track. you better cut your losses and bow down....
