What do you mean times are times? I'm comparing same mods with same mods. You and Kevin both push way more HP than me. If you weren't faster than me i'd laugh at you. I run a supercharger, i have instant boost. Traction is a problem. I couldn't launch my car any higher than 1250 or i would roast my tires and Kevin reduced my boost in 1st. And last time Kevin was at the track with his turbo LSJ his time wasn't a whole lot better than with his M62. But he broke his transmission so didn't get to have much of a day. He won't man up and bring his new set up to the track.
my times may of been just as slow with the turbo setup as with the m62, but yet i trapped ~14mph higher, this speaks volumes.
ha ha, I wont man up....who pussied out on running my slicks last time? I have had my engine/trans in and out of ths ******* thing more times this summer alone than you have made passes down the track. after stripping 3rd gear 3 times from a roll, and grenading one trans case at gimli i have swapped in the F23 from the 2.2 i am on engine #3, this time it has diamond pistons in it. Bottom line is...this car is a ******* money pit. as it sits i coule EASILY make over 400whp, but yet i have no disire to. I have MAYBE 20kms on the rebuilt engine and have zero motovation to run it. I have moved on to bigger and better things, as have most of the ppl on this site that really knew what they were talking about. These cars are built like a little toy with a glass transmission. Before you start flapping your lips about manning up, wait untill you have enough power to start breaking **** on demand.
And oh...my slicks are in the my garage, come get em any time.....My thoughts are with your transmission, may it R.I.P.

I got a shitty load of cement piles.... 48 pallets on a 53 ft flatdeck.... and they're just barely on the deck..... so it's a "junk load" as we call it
But yes.... i'll be in Wpeg Sunday evening or monday noon

Ok Kenny calm down. I'm just bustin you're nuts. Geez. And now you understand why i don't want 400whp on my daily driver. You keep making more and more power and you think the stock components are going to hold up? You've blown up 2 STOCK motors. What do you think is gonna happen running a massive snail with a **** load of boost??? I don't want to have enough power to start breaking **** on demand to man up. Read you're post, it's not fun at all. So just put down the windows in the Camaro, crank up the Iron Maiden, let you're mullet down, and let the wind flow through it
Hey dustin go to mygallery i got them engine covers painted check it out.

Hey does anyone know where I can find rules for the gimli dragway? I can't find anything on there site...
Or maybe just answer a question for me. Is a helmet required when drag racing. I'm pretty sure 90% of the people aren't wearing them but I just wanted to be sure..

haha sorry JP i've been extremely busy lately, and out of town a lot. Also I'm planning on selling the tc so mods for now are halted. I've decided a daily driver and a project car(RWD or AWD) is the way to go. I'll be at the track this weekend but won't be racing due to a broken hand.
I might need a stock tune flash, I think I'll have more luck selling it 100% stock

Nice! so what you hit 13s and they Jump you and tell you to put a helmet on or slow Down?
I hope to Touch 13s but who knows being my first legit quarter. (and tires being at the end of there life) anyone know where I can get a cheap helmet and if there's any rules on what's acceptable?

As far as other rules just make sure nothing big is loose in your trunk, your seatbelts work good and you should be fine. When they teched mine it took the guy like 30 seconds - newer vehicles they are pretty quick. Also its a cobalt so i dont think they were too worried that I would go to fast
excuse my shitty one handed typing
Oh and Don't run your ac cause youll leak on the track, also don't go through the waterbox and wear your seatbelt

Well your not stock so I guess it's possible, if you break into 13's they will tell you to slow down or helmet, you can prob make another pass but if you do it again then they will call you on it

113 in a quarter is pretty BA. Have you considers getting some drag radials on 17s Jordan? Or are you looking more to auto x or general fun with your car vs such a race specific part?
