I've read lots of books, what does that have to do with anything? You're not making much sense, it's just reaction at this point.

You have nothing, you can't run much faster than 8.50's and you cant cover me. Count on it pickle.

JDW Poncho.......... If you have the money to burn........get ahold of a fella by the last name Petty give him some race pack info and I'm sure he could get you sorted out pretty quick! It would be the best money you ever spent! I'm sure Travis Q . Would back me up on that one.

I agree. It rates right up there with some of the other thread Mike has been apart of.

So you think this thread is dumber than the other threads that were locked down or the 2014 prediction thread from kinser? I'd say its on the same level.

It started out as me giving the troublemakers a hard time they took it well and laughed off most of it.

I'm paying another guy to help me. I've tried to hire a couple guys but never received any feedback so I moved on.

I'm not a beginner to using efi, I'm comfortable with the fast system now. I'll be using this guy to help me keep from doing something stupid.

Did you give him your pickle test? possibly why they never gave feed back?







I couldn't help myself. I tried.

I was able to use my gps and tracked the fastest speed of 57.7 mph. Does that count for anything?

Ive said it a couple times already, I wasnt being a smart ass. I just havent done anything worth talking about.

The main reason I havent discussed my track outings is because it wasnt about the 1/8 or 1/4 mile times were right off the trailer. I was only looking to work on my tune and make sure the car could do a burn out, a few 60' launches and make sure it wasnt popping and cracking 100' after the hit.

I had issues with building boost and getting the car to leave. I was also meeting the guy that I hired to help me tune. He came in and changed a few things while recommending I make more changes.

I didnt go down there to do anything except a few burn outs and get comfortable with the car. I still needed to work on getting my license passes in but I wanted to test it first. Gateway was more than happy to let me make a few short hits and not try to run it out the back without a license. The guy laughed at me when I told him I would stay under 12secs in the 1/4 mile. I explained my situation and he was fine with giving me a tech car as long as I knew they would be watching.

Dont forget Ive never been in a high HP car that Ive built from the ground up. Thats a lot of parts to make work after 3 years of building.

I promise to post up a few video's when I start making some passes.

See, not much info to talk about yet.

I may not have seen it through all of the BS in these threads.
Its easy to miss something when you have to use the page down button,because of long signatures and quotes.
If you make it to eddyville this year,it would be nice to see the car.

yeah...ok...i think you just pulled the wool off your own eyes, and few others...some of us have been at this a while.

Was the kinsler thread ridiculous? yes. At the end of norwalk We'll see who's joke thread comes closer. I bet wilke peeing on jacks tire is very likely. Jacks gotta sleep sometime.

Seriously I hope you have a lot better time tuning and running that thing. It should be a beast. Like I said keep us posted sounds like some good hardware.

Amen, brother! That's exactly the way I felt years ago when I first started testing with my Tempest.
