Yeah, I saw that already... Looks pretty good bro... But while you are spending time on that, I am spending time tuning my car to snag that 3rd place spot

Re: Check it out
Now here's a guy that loves his unique 3rd gen. Good stuff Joey.
Better be some awesome tuning to gain a full second and take my spot.

Re: Check it out
You would be surprised. Besides, I was told on wednesday they don't prep the track at all. And the do during a T&T, so I have a feeling that is where my traction issue is... All I can say is watch out. Besides, if need be, I have nothing holding me back from a bottle.

If you have slicks, or can launch well with DR's, you may not notice the lack of VHT as much and can reap the benefit from the cheaper Wed. nights.
Don't expect to go from 2.2 60's to 1.7 or anything, but you should feel a diff @ a TNT.

That has always been the case and the reason I rather pay for a Grudge Night, or TNT.

I will guarantee my car will go 12's as is... I just need to seal my superram again and try for the 3rd time to get rid of my vacuum leaks. Besides, I trapped at 103 with a 2.4, I think that trap speed will give me 12's.
Will vacuum leaks make my car run that much slower though?

That 2.4 60' indicates you were probably spinning your tires quite a bit at launch, which can attribute to that higher, deceiving trap speed of 103.
Whatever your trap on the many 2.1's you had is probably a better indicator.
Sorry to hijack Joey!

Re: Check it out
I need more track time and get my launches down.
The wager idea was just to make you think twice before guaranteeing such a thing.
Best of luck to you. Maybe after your fixes you will notice a gain in power.

Re: Check it out
-Stealthram used with rails and everything ($400)
-Bigger Cam (300) I already have better valve springs...
-4th gen rearend ($300)
But then again, out of everyone, Joey has the best potential. Pretty much Stock ls1 running with modded TPI... All he needs is a cam and exhaust and he will be far gone.
And Joey, that headlights are going to look BAD ***! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Re: Check it out
She's doing well. I was tempted to trade her in on a G8 or even trying to find an '05 or better GTO but thought it pointless. She starts every morning and doesn't miss a beat. How could I betray that kind of loyalty?
Job going well? Got any kids yet? Guessing by the car I would say the job is awesome and there ain't no kids.
