Wow. Crazy stuff . Not ******* him but maybe now he'll know who to play with next time.

Pinks is a cool show, but one thing I do not understand which always seems to be a problem on that show...WHERE IS THE ******* TREE!?!? Why does that bald **** have to give them the go ahead?? As for the TA and Civic, what a drag. As everyone else agrees that kid was in way over his head. 12 lengths?? then 20?? come on what is that??

He posted a time slip on CZ28.com, car ran 9.5@144, 3900lb car on a 1.48 sixty. It does have a 100 shot on it to get it out the hole. It also has a really small set of AFR LT4 heads on it and that blower isnt that huge, couple LT1 guys with F1s, but very cool set up, car runs well with it.

That happens when you sit on the transbrake waiting for an import to get his boost where he wants it. I used to HATE racing the Buick guys, they'd light up the first beam and it'd take a good 20-30 seconds sitting on the brakes before they'd roll into the second beam. Now with the boost building tables in DFI, transbrakes and converter technology where it is it's not a problem That and courtesy staging is nice.

They said ATI sent them a good trans, but they car needed a lot bigger cooler and like you said, less time on the T-brake.
