Id really like to run you with your clutch so there is no excuses..But Its whatever.. So Lets see how is this gonna go down, You want 1 gear you said 2nd ok so thats like a 45mph? Ok so ill be in 2nd? Then you give me the move "Since you will run past me like nothing" or whatever you said... Is that whats goin down??
ps the clutch is 1500 installed, not that it matters
how about we'll run with the way it is, if you beat me, thats ok it'll be on video and you can post it on here to embarass me..... but if i win, you will be owned by an STS **** kit owner WITH a broken clutch and 2 gears at best
sat is fine, i played lastnight and she's ready. i hope it's not chilly outside for your sake. turbo cars love cold

i havent dug a whole my friend, sat will be the real deal. the clutch is gonna take me forever because 1, im a horrible saver and 2 on 9.30hr will take forever

Oh well, So your saying your gonna give me the hit from a 40 and you will come by me by the time I get to 80??
ya'll should come to the meet tonight, and talk face to face. I have a problem with something that the turbo guy said, If you win you can say that you beat him with a bad clutch? Thats gay is the clutch bad or not? If its holding up enough to keep all that power your making to the ground and you win then how in the hell is it bad clutch 
You are so confident that you will win, and so many people on here say you will not win, you should place some bets that way you can get a new clutch for free.

we can do a 35-40 roll if you want. prob 40 is better. i'll be brake boosting to get rid of lag. i did a couple of 35-40 rolls last night and the car scared the **** out of me. granted it was slightly cool outside. the lower in 2nd gear the better, gives us time to see who will stretch who out, and if i dont shift at 6500 (gotta love the springs and rods), i will have another gear to run in. 2nd goes to 80-85ish and 3rd goes well over 100. i dont wanna race to 150

but we dont need to race to 150 to see who will win. my clutch made 503/512 and she made that tq at 4500. it lasted 2 weekends, just enough to beat a H/C 100shot car from a 60 roll
( i wanted a 40, 50 at best). and im VERY sure the hydraulics went out. the clutch pedal itself actually comes up as i get into boost. i think the clutch could do it if the hydraulics would let it...... but im not a clutch master Last edited by 99Z28LS1; May 16, 2007 at 01:09 PM.

LOL, these STS guys sure have their priorities outta whack!
If my math is correct, at $9.30 an hr, you should have around 900 rwtq in the year 2010, correct?

if i get back into full time school, they will pay me 850 a month for college. it takes that for a full semster at TCC
so there will be extra money. not to mention, i can hit up my unit for some funds too too

sounds great to me. i'll try to shift at 5300 or so to keep it from red lining so we can get 2 gears. the race "should" be over by my 3rd or yours. that would be what..... 115-120ish, i dont know. but by then 1 of us will have won

EDIT: my iraq vacation was the only way i could afford the turbo stuff. i originally planned for AFR 205's and SLP cam kit, but the heads would've taken too long and i thought being turboe'd would be different AND save me gas

thats confusing
