This is the funny part. A lot of people buy tons of money and parts for their cars but never take them to the track (not mentioning names, just in general) and they throw out numbers like "it should run 11's" or "people with similar/less mods run 10's".... but you dont know what the car runs unless you actually run it at the track, not on the street. Car may be capable of 11's but you may only drive it into the 12's...... but hey, Im not a street racer so I wouldnt know!

Yep, I know several people like that also. Hopefully get mine back out to the track real soon and let 'er rip... 11.72 in sig was on beat up ET streets and getting out of it at the 1000' mark afetr I heard that all too familiar "pop" sound, that seems to be notorious in these cars.

I am not A loose nut like you trying to push the gas pedal through the firewall sure it's 10' capable but I don't want to leave the crank and trannie parts on the track floor like you did, I am smarter than that and not a lobster like you who has Sh** for brains. ![]() PS: wasting time is standing in line for 3 hours today just to get 1 lousy second pass, if thats what your into then have at it. and be happy I didn't race you because you would off turned up the BOOST to like 40 pounds just to beat me and in the process blowing it up much earlier, BTW thanks for the Tip about the floor mat but it was sitting in my truck way before you even told me about it. ![]() Last edited by wiked87gn : January 14th, 2007 at 10:41 PM. |

1- grannatelli maf that you charged him $400.00 for it 2- 2.3 dinosaur Translater that didn't even list the Grannatelli maf on the choices to pick which MAF to make the Translater work with it. 3- 50 pounds injectors to accommodate a motor capable of over 600fwhp. 4- wrong Chip, of course it was your in it trying to make it work with the Dinosaur Translater you installed in it. 5- a week later the hot wire kit you installed to the new fuel pump was pinched by one of the bolts you used to install the cat back exhaust system causing a short and almost a fire, once again i found it and fixed it, good thing the short didn't happen during one of his runs or he would off granated that motor big time. You want me to keep going, I will if i have too, Bob spend $900.00 plus on the parts we bought including 72 pound injectors, updated 6.22 translater, extender extreme chip, had the ECU modified to accommodate the bigger injectors, got a 3.5 inch LS1 Maf all from fullthrottle, and we also changed the crappie granatelli you installed., the previous week he could only get a 7.1 at irwindale and a 2.2 sixty with your great combo you had installed in it, the car keep stalling at idle every time you reved it because it was running way to rich you were getting angry because you couldn't figure out what was wrong with it, I took one Look and knew what needed to be changed but didn't want to say anything because got forbid making you look bad in front of people you would kill me or die of embarrassment, next week he went out and Ran a 6.86 with a 1.45 sixty foot at 101mph, go figure I must have been doing everything wrong when I worked on it making the changes I did, you got pissed off because he ask me behind your back to work on his car period.. even and old dog like you can learn new tricks, please be grateful and I was able to help the guy when he ask for it and in the process fixed up all the little Fu** ups you made.. the rest is history the guy knows how to drive his car and he makes it happen not you and not me, end of story. Let me also list a few things you have copied off my car and implement on all your customers rides 1- HRparts suspension, which after seeing it in my car you installed it on Bobs car, Brents car and Lemans car. 2- alky injection, starting with SMC then Alky control you didnt even know who made them and they were available to public until you saw it my car. 3-RJC Mega cooler after brent saw it in my car went out and bought one to have you install it 4- turbo tweak chip ![]() 5- LS1 mafs The list goes on and on I just don't want to continue arguing with someone you who can't accept critizism or willing to accept he makes mistakes, Lou, we are only human learn to accept and you will be in your way to become a better person I have learned a great deal from you over the past few years and I thank you for it, now i can say i have enough knowlegde thanks to you and this board to be able to work on my own car and not depend on you to do everything for me except the dirty work when i dont want to get my hands dirty.. ![]() wiked Last edited by wiked87gn : January 14th, 2007 at 11:01 PM. |
