I guess I just like my A/C....

 

I used to go thru a lot of compressor's until I found a neat solution..... they don't like spinning 8,000+......took me a while to figure that out.:bbb:

 

Mine does

 

Every time i come out it's never enough. I'm making 200whp more then a year ago and its still not enough.:bbb:

 

dont feel bad it happens to all of us.thats why u go all out from the start or buy a real car

 

ok from reading this post...... i think i'll try to edit this list.


1. 93Supra.........down, in the shop, something about making it better for both the 1/4 and roll

2. Cbrtrx..... still holding his own very nicely, i won't even get into how cheaply this car is going this fast for.....

3. qitstrn.......down, shop getting cage.(my .02 is its a race car, but a very clean one at that. nothing wrong with that but getting shit for running race gas is the only reason why some people never do it. but its like i used to say about n2o, they sell it you anyone, not my fault you didn't buy it too.

4. 2NASSTY....... down but will be back, i'm sure very nassty. but as of now = down(still sorry to hear about it)

5. 78mphgpr........ haven't seen many posts in awhile, so i don't know if he's down,

6. JuicedSS262........down, sounds like for a little while more

7. 01 Bird of Prey........ down, but very very close. (i think al will have his hands full as the fastest street ls1, and from one with nothing removed....(nicer than it was stock.)

8. J. Formato........down. not sure for how long, but needs atleast head to really be a big dawg. but very fast for what it is. but its down as of last i heard.


LT4 bird............down, lazy bitch and needs to walk outside and finish...damn it. lol

60-1EK........ if thats the one i'm thinking of, then it was up at the time of last track day. don't know if he races on the street, i hear about some really good numbers......don't know how those #s play out on the street........


jerry's little yellow AWD............ very clean, nicest import out there to me, i think he's the fastest pump gas import and his car is alway up... even if you don't see it out, it can be. i give him points for being pump gas.....and 130+ in a AWD.........and running from a dig......and has done it for money...........



well shit, i guess that makes jerry my vote for the biggest dog out right now..............and for a while i would guess.


wow, 2 03's and import running at the time. with datruth running around doing his thing somewhere in there....lol



then of coures there's monza scott and his boys, they really are about the only street racers left.

"Big dawgs" should really be changed to "guys with good HP to weight ratio" who are up and running at the time




edit...... just heard 01 Bird of Prey......up and going to brandon tonight, 52miles and counting...lol

 

WELL
HERES THE BIG DAWG LIST FOR THE TRACK ONLY.
strokd85 hes still up and running making changes for nest season though i believe

i believe the guys name is rob dont know his s/n but hes the one with the turbo capri last time i new he's still up and running

brian with is still up and going and thinking about nos last time i seen him post

scott who is down and out building a new turbo engine

drace1963 he's still up and running with the nova but is putting a diff engine in his el camino

then theirs me witch i'm down,i sold my chassis and i'm looking for a new one.i got 2 new engines in the works and a engine for sale.

i know i'm missing some but everyone on this list is faster then 10.50s or their 1/8 mile times convert to be faster then 10.50s

 

Not to be a nutswinger here, but another cool thing about the yellow car is that Jerry hasn't even been going all out for maximum HP with it. For example, he's using a funky dual-length runner intake manifold from a JDM market car (the Cyclone Manifold) designed for better mid-range torque and around-town driving when a sheetmetal intake would probably be worth at least 30hp and maybe as much as 50. He's given up on bigger turbos before because they lost spool and low-end power. The car is full of little things like that, compromises to keep the street fun factor up that take away from absolute straight-line speed.

 

Very interesting. I love reading others stories.. Retirement is great... Even though I have a little something something I think Camera car suits me better. Maybe if I get some sticky tires I will come out of retirement.

 

yeah that seems to be his thing. if it doesn't spool by 3000 and spin all 4 tires in the first 2 gears, he thinks its no fun to drive.

i myself would run c16 and a much bigger turbo and try to beat everyone. but then again i'll be the first to say i couldn't build or keep that car together like he does. so he's doing something right
