    Stock RWHP #'s

    With Flowmasters welded in and a drop in K&N my wife's old 99 GT Auto made 216hp/256tq running a best of 14.5@95 with a 2.2 60'. Adding an o/r h-pipe, K&N FIPK, Accufab 75mm t-body & plenum, and a 91 octane tune, the car made 245hp/271tq and ran a best of 13.9@99 with a 2.2 60'. 29hp and...

    2nd night in a row at PIR 4/28

    I didn't get a chance to see you run last night; you would run as I was pulling up to the front of the staging lanes. I'm glad to hear that you're running so well. I ran pretty consistently in the 12's: 12.9, 12.8, 12.7 (x2) and a new best of 12.6 @ 111. I was pretty surprised with my mph...

    COME RACE TODAY!

    Trisha ran a 14.2 and a couple of 14.3's out of her "new" car; I was able to get a 13.8 out of it... the difference being that she's too afraid to do a burnout so she's always launching on cold tires (can you say spin city?!). I keep telling her that she does a burnout every time she runs...

    Fast Specialties

    Since I have done business with both places I feel the need to respond. But first, let me give you an example: McDonald's - Happy Meal Burger King - Kid's Meal Both are vying for the same customers. Are their adds, prices, naming, quality, similar? Absolutely... but you'd only know the...

    Irritated with PIR

    This is in no way meant to slam PIR, but more of a vent session. The wife and I have been waiting all winter to blow out the cobwebs on the Stangs. With over three months of anticipation having built up, we head down to PIR Saturday evening to do the usual i.e. beat the piss out of her car...

    Just had a bad nitrous backfire - what do you think got hurt?

    Why, oh why... did you re-start the engine? All of the nitrous kit instructions tell you, in one form or another, to remove spark from the engine and crank it over if you suspect anything leaking in to your intake. I'm not saying nitrous backfires won't ever happen, but in your case, you...

    May be trading in the GT for a 99 Vette...Question

    It's funny you bought that car... my wife and I looked at it a few days before you bought it. And you are right, the car is in great shape. When the salesman told me the price, I said "no thanks" and left. I have very little patience with salesmen/dealerships. I'm glad you were able to...

    Had a few good runs at PIR on Friday night

    Not unless I go back to a pulley and get it ported (which I seriously doubt I'll do)... I'm considering a small shot and/or a Whipple, but I don't really drive it hard, often enough, to justify it. (that is of course until I run up against a new Z06 and get my butt kicked... lol) Besides...

    Had a few good runs at PIR on Friday night

    I couldn't get traction until third gear, and if I speed shifted into third I'd still spin halfway through (and I don't want to have to run drag radials). That and the Predator tune is great for open loop mode (wide open throttle) but not so good for closed loop... i.e. You can't go into...

    Had a few good runs at PIR on Friday night

    Friday night was great. There weren't very many cars there, and we got in at least 20 runs between the 2 cars. Trisha's GT runs pretty consistant 14.0-14.1's with her in the car, and 14.2's with me driving (100 extra lbs.)... we can't get better than 2.1-2.2 60' times or it would easily be a...

    Is the price going to drop if more people show up?

    Ray day tomorrow at woodburn.

    Yeah... who paid for the whole day, and can people jump in/share the cost? If so, how many people are committed, and how much will it cost? Thanks, Logan

    Couple of more tix

    Get the license plate issue fixed and that one won't be an issue. As for the U-turn, ask the clerk if the fine can be reduced... if they can reduce it, pay it and be on your way. If they can't, request a hearing. Tell the judge that while you learned to drive in Ca., you admit to the...
