I agree... when I was in TExas.... they did not tolerate that.

Oklahoma... well that is another story.




ME = Cone Killing Spree this weekend... no cruises for me.

So even with my car attempting to blow itself up again, I still ended up being the fast@r. The run where I got a 2.1 60' should of been a lot better than a 13.9.

Oh well. Need to figure out why my car is teh ghey, and it's not the *****.

Can't quite figure out how w/ a 2.5 60', I ran a 14.0x @ 105, then w/ a 2.2 60' got 13.8 @ 100. The et makes sense for the 60', but not the MPH. Dan had a similar issue. Will be able to measure IAT2s today or tomorrow, but I think the h/e helped. Considering my second to last run was another 14.0, then my last run (15 mins later) was 13.8, I'm def. cooling better. If anything, it's making my times more consistent.

What made the night worth it was the double take I got from the last car I ran, an older gen 4.6 GT. He put a half car on me off the line, and I walked by. I happened to glance over and caught him peeking haha

Yeah my best was a 13.6@106. All of us were being slow.

RIght now I am ordering a 2.7 ring, Als headstuds, and colder plugs. Then retune it for all that, and go back to PRP next week. See what happens.

Jon, that run with the 13.8 was the one I saw... and I can just imagine the look on the guy's face like "WTF is going on that a SATURN beat my steed?"

That's the most fun part about having a sleeper car... the befuddled looks of the victims..

the worse your 60' the higher your trap.

If you stay in it. ever see supras, how they run 13.0 @ 120. Horrible wheel hop, but they pick it up after they hook.

The back pads are backordred until next week, but the fronts and totes will be here next week early.

Well, I talked to the fine folks @ Stoptech last fall and they DO sell OEM style blanks. They can have them slotted or drilled at your request as well. I Know you don't want them that way, but just putting it out there...

Fronts are 77 each
Rears are 48 ( I think ).

Very quick turnouaround as well from what I was told.
I have the part #'s at work.

Are you not happy with the Raybestos??? I was going to get them since i could just go to franks Auto Supermarket and get them right away.

I go to Walmart and as usual there are crazy people asking me about my car. Then in the corner of the lot there are all the shitmobiles and the kids that accompany them. Then when I'm leavin an eclipse(last gen) rolls up next to me as we are going down 30. Body kit, exhaust and some gauges. He punches it to strut his stuff. So I drop a couple and catch up. I keep even with him so we can go but he punches it again. So I do a fly by. I roll up to him again and pulls the same **** again. The guy must have been retarded. He went full throttle and I was just giving it a little in third to get his hopes up and then would stomp on it. All the way down 30 he pulled the same crap.

Haha... so the intercooler is mounted up. It actually fit in there just perfect. There's plenty of room to run the charge piping too. Excitement brews.
