Thanks guys! I could not do it with out the help from Josh and LMR. Josh is literally the brains behind the whole operation. All I do is put my foot on the pedal and hold on. You guys dont realize how much goes into these racing programs and Josh has spent many countless hours helping me on mine, when he has his business and own car to work with. We have a really nice team set up here and in the next year Steven and myself should be a treat to watch out for nation wide. We still got a lot to work with, and have not did alot of testing yet. Still got a good 15 pds of boost left to work with. Josh does alot of research and tinkering to get these car's were they are at. I can not say enough about him. Anybody looking for help or answer make sure to look him up. Robert Follmer also needs to be thanked as well. He got the chassis set up and rocking out.


We have a few more races left this season and a couple test sessions left. LMR and myself will keep you guys updated. Should be in the solid 4.70's next time out!

Rob,
Congratulations on hittin the 4's. Car looked good on launch and you must be learning how to apply the boost and use the slew. I would like to to talk to Steve about a possible tuning opportunity. I have my own dyno and know you guys use BSF3. Steve can call me at 713-516-4126. You guys have been at my shop and on my dyno before you got your own. I have a turbo mustang and it will not be long I will have a 01 Turbo Formula that will need tuning and some additional work.

thanks man, we actually went in the 4's quite a while ago. Its just taken some time to be consistent and pick up some ET. we now have it figured out pretty decently. I would defiantly recommend getting in touch with Josh @ LMR. Call Steven and he will get you set up. The craftsmanship and work that LMR does is the best in the country in my opinion. I think there results and customers say enough about what they do.

I know, we haven't been out in a while. We have been really busy but the car is coming together. I don't know when the last time you saw it was. After I spun the main bearing we sent off the motor. Allan got it back to me really fast. However, I am working with a new turbo kit now because the old one was a piece of crap. This new kit is also giving me some problems. Brian had to throw some things together to make it work. Now we are just looking for time to finish it. The Mustang is ready to go in the garage for its new motor and the Formula is waiting for its new turbo kit. We just have so much to do and so little time to do it with.

If you are ever on this side of town, give us a call. We should go grab a bite to eat or something....
