I went to the track yesterday to get some baseline times before I got retuned this coming Sunday. All day I blew the tires off until the last pass when I finally got my tire pressure right and burnout right.
But when I got to the track I noticed this silver 5.0 with a big and little setup, so...
Ok for starters this race was between me and one of my best friends. He has been tinkering with the car for the past two weeks trying to get ready to race me. He doesn't know the exact specs of the heads or cam that is in the car. All he knows is it is a decent sized cam with small oval ported...
Today was the first gorgeous day we have had in a while so I decided to take the long route home after I got off work. I was cruising down the freeway at 65mph with the windows down and the radio up enjoying the fresh air until I was about halfway home. I notice this truck was starting to pass...
One of my best friends purchased a 1971 Camaro yesterday. This car is absolutely beautiful. He said it has a 468 big block with heads, small cam, edlebrock intake and carb, and a turbo400 trans. We cruised around to a couple friends houses showing it to them and finally decided to head home...
Got off work this afternoon and was heading over to a friends house. About halfway there I had to stop to get gas and when I pulled out to get back on the road I noticed what appeared to be a new Camaro in the distance behind me. I honestly didn't pay much attention to the car after that because...
Well I finally got my car to Gear Heads in Dallas Texas to get checked and and find out why it's been a slug off the line at the track. Well when you look at the graph you will see why but Travis said I'm leaving quite a bit of power and torque on the table since my fuel system is maxed out...
I installed my new pumps lastnight. Took my time to make sure everything was hooked up right. I know why my Gas gauge isn't working, but my fuel pressure gauge isn't working now. I hooked up my diablo to the car to check the fuel pressure and at idle the car was only pushing 14psi????? What in...
Ok guys I think I may have a major problem and wanted to come in here to ask for yalls thoughts. I went to the track a couple weeks back to finally get some 1/4 times on my et street bias ply tires. I made a total of 4 passes in which my best pass consisted of a 12.7@102 missing fourth gear. Car...
I have recently started to think about purchasing a brand new custom drag setup for my car to make it stand out whether at the track, on the street, or at a car show. I have been thinking of purchasing a set of CCW classics with the back being a 16x10 and the fronts being a 17x4.5. I have a...
The results are he absolutely killed me. Please forgive the conversations and music in the background because we video'd the video to get something posted on here. The compilation video from both views will be coming soon.

I know you guys hate these kind of threads but the race should be happening this weekend so long as my intercooler pump comes in Friday and there will be video when it happens. There has been some friendly trash talking going on between me and my buddy that owns the G8. His mods consist of a 418...
As of late I have been having the problem of my coolant popping the seal of the intercooler reservoir lid and spewing coolant all over my windshield. I do not have a clue why it keeps doing this but the seal is pretty much about shot and need a new one. Would anyone know where I could find a new...
Well tonight I ran one of my buddies H/C/I C6 Corvette. The car is a 6 speed with 3.73 gears and puts down 495/450. My mods are in my sig. Going into this race I was very excited and was expecting to get walked extremely hard. He had a 400lb passenger in his car and I had my wife. My wife could...
Well today I was headed to the track with my wife and one of my good friends cruising about 80mph down the interstate and a new Camaro SS flew past me. I down shifted to third and blew past him to see if he would be game and as I was slowing back down he went WOT at my back bumper. I threw it...
Well tonight I decided to go out and ride around for a change and see if anyone was out at the local cruising area. My wife and I made probably 5 passes down and back looking for something of interest to play with but nothing was showing up. As I was getting ready to leave my wife looks over and...
I am going to the track this Sunday and was wanting to hook up my nitrous kit. I have been told I can run it with my 39lb injectors if I spray a wet shot and to pull 4 degrees of timing to spray a 100 shot. Is this true and if so will I be safe enough to do this? Mods are in sig.
Something pretty funny happened today at work to a guy that works at our Hyundai store but first a little background that led to this.
This guy has a 2005-06 Mustang GT with a cold air intake and a 125 shot. I got my cobra almost a month ago and this guy has been talking all kinds of mad crap...
I finally got the chance to get to our local 1,000' track but got out there to late and didn't have time to put the slicks on. I made 3 passes with my nitto nto5 street tires on.
First pass: I could not see the tach due to the sun being right in my eyes and hit the rev limiter in 1st and 2nd...
Saturday night I went out with a bunch of my friends for the first time since having my motor built. It was freaking cold outside. Probably in the high 30s low 40s. I ran my buddies 500 hp family sedan G8 and it was pretty fun. We done three races. One race was from 55, one was from 65, and the...

Hopefully a few of you guys remember my last thread of my new motor being finished. Well last Wednesday night at 10:00 pm she finally came to life. I spent 3 days trying to find the right starter for my car and...
If you guys remember my last thread of my motor finally being finished well it is not 100% finished yet. The machine shop I took my motor to installed the wrong reluctor wheel(crank trigger) and I need to find the right one. The one they installed is to big and to thick for my car. Can you guys...
Well guys I just left the machine shop from picking up my new motor. I can't believe it is finally finished. I have been without my car for almost 6 months now and now that I have my motor back in my possession I am very anxious to drop in back in my car on Sunday and hearing it come to life. My...
July 5, 2010 @ 10:00 A.M. is the official date of my dyno tune at Gear Headz in Dallas. I will be getting a N/A tune as well as a tune for a 150 shot. I will keep you guys posted as to what type of numbers I put down. I am hoping to put down 320hp/and atleast 340tq on motor. I am hoping my setup...
Lastnight I finally got out of the house without my wife and daughter and was able to have some fun. I got to the local hangout a little earlier than normal to cruise around and see if anyone was up for some quick fun. By the time I had made a couple of passes I had drawn a lot of attention to...
