My ninja skills surpass yours.
I'm just ready for CED. I need a break from life.

ported blower is not stock blower. so if I upgrade my k04 compressor wheel and destroyed some Eaton's, then I could proclaim the lsj powerband as weaksauce... That's how this lsj inferiority complex works

There is a huge difference between porting a blower verus upgrading the compressor wheel in a turbo. Porting the blower is not where you're going to be making good numbers. It helps but that's not the reason this car I quoted is pretty quick.

They are tired of me where them out with a few strokes of my chicago style black tree trunk ya fhag! lol!
No, the problem is many LNF superiority complex me thinks. People could have said "Good runs, thats a quick LSJ" or whatever, but immediately angry LNF owners crowded the thread saying "ZOMG! LNF!!!!" ya know.

And technically we all could be bullshitters. We're producing our timeslips and pictures of our cars as evidence. For me I don't give a **** about dynoing my car, so I could be BSing about my 13.79 even though most people are running 14.0 with my mods. He's running .4 of second faster than lets say hatrickstu with way more mods than stu. I think it's very possible.
Plus wow gives a **** about trap speeds? Those numbers are always inflated at the track when you're not getting good traction. I believe he ran 2.1 60ft which is not good traction!

LOL OMG I I Pissed my pants....i'm not a ***....i didnt compare my wiener to a tree trunk, that makes you gay.
he had a time slip that was from a guy that had turbo cavy that ran a 12.xxx 1/4 mile. I think that was the one that he had floating around for a while. I have had friends ride in it that have told me that it doesn't feel fast at all.
They are higher compression pistons, same rods just cryo treated. he was only running a 2.7 pulley at the time, and stock valvetrain.

Also don't forget that fast is a matter of perspective. If the guy going for a ride is coming from a car making 550hp with 500tq, of coarse his cobalt going to feel slow.
