Either way, "Marion" is 100% stock and ran 13.6 with his ss/tc in Ontario, which leads me to believe that 13.56 stock is also possible.
Hmmm...The ss/sc also adjusted for altitude but explain to me why in Eddy people get better times versus Calgary? Eddy is at a lower elevation than Calgary just like Ontario.

I never said it wasn't possible. I would like to see it myself that's all. If you run a 13.6 stock here in Calgary I will tip my hat to you my friend.

What is the fwhp and torque on a stock ss/tc? If the claim 260 HP I would think that that is at the flywheel. I would think that you are running stock 235 fwhp which is respectful.

multiple stock dynos have put the ss/tc at 240whp and 260at the flywheel as you had guessed. lol Calgary vs Eddy anyone on here can answer that, POS track vs state of the art track.......really that's all there is too it on this case.

I have been to the track in Calgary and as the sun goes down, people start getting better and better times. So even that makes an improvement when the temperature drops. And a lot of people on here who live on the coast at sea level get better times then say someone in Calgary.

I figured so...and you do have a point about **** vs well kept for tracks. Well I suppose if you ar good at launching it would be possible. I would have thought it would be closer to high 13s low 14s.

Nice...

yes you would get better times as the night progresses due to cooler air and lower AD. Combustion is a power robber when heat soak happens. I could barely get my coby to run low 14s at race city. I then found out my H/E pump was not working so I was getting Heat soak until I installed the Cobra H/E and a new pump. Never did get to see what that car would do after that.

Cheers

My best run of the night was around 9pm but i was still gettin **** launches because it was too cold, when spring hits and i can go back for a night I'll break into high 13's early on while I've still got good traction off the line.

just as a heads up guys/girls if you get a phone call on your cell or home phone with the area code 208 DON'T answer it! This is a fake number, the person will tell you that you won a trip to mexico or won $500 towards your visa or mastercard, as soon as you pick up and start talking you get charged international phone call fees. I found out because I got a call and googled the number and found out that over 150 people have compained about this number today alone, my brother has gotten a call as well as 5 other people that I work with, just google this number and you'll see what I mean 208-991-1194.

I got the same call but it was from a 208-000-0000 was the number and yeah I was not impressed but FYI Here is something you should all be aware about... I'll post it in a lone thread as well for the rest of us Canucks...


REMINDER .... All cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing
Companies and you will start to receive sale calls.
YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS
To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone:
1 866-580-3625 or 888-382-1222.
It is the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a minute of your time.
It blocks your number for five (5) years. You must call from the cell phone
Number you want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number.
Or you can do it online at www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca
HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS..
It takes about 20 seconds

Larry if thats the case let me know Cause our company is based out of Trinidad and has a much larger division than up here (they have on shore and off shore...) so yeah anyway something to keep in mind...

As for the Rims - I REALLY like those ones I saw a stang a few weeks back with similar and on a silver it would look "DAMN SEXY!" *insert best fat bastard impersonation here*

Well, pics to come tonite but today sometime I should be finished wiring up my blue tubes for the front drivers/passenger footwells. Holy PITA to find a place they'd fit tho, my last car had TONS of room under the dash for tubes but I was lazy and never hooked them up u can imagine my delight when i found them on the weekend going thru the last of my stuff from my parents house. I partially installed the passenger one and tested it last night, worked beautifully, switch and all, wired it to the battery thru the back seat instead of thru the firewall into the engine bay, lol *** tryin to find a hole in the firewall for power. Looked pretty good on the passenger side, i can't wait to get the drivers done and have it all wired up and tucked away neatly.
