Just to give you a heads up!
I will be coming down tomarrow, with my normal entourage, to have you "look" over my car. If you have time I wouldn't mind you putting it on the dyno, but hopefully we will see!

Well, Nate (bus) pretty much handled EVERYONE. The two honda's, that trap @ 122+, he gave them the hit(only because his car is so loud we couldn't hear the horn) and bus reeled them in by the top of 3rd and put 2 - 4 cars on them in 4th. The 438 HP FD, they lined up like 8 times, neither one could get a clean run in, it was mis-shift after mis-shift. He ended up having to catch up big time to it. 2 and 3rd couldn't do it. However, he cought up and put another 1.5 cars on him in 4th alone.
NOW FOR THE BADNEWS. Remember in my vid, it showed him racing that 04 cobra. Well, he was out, he had the nitrous on it, it trapped @ 124 before, before and had MAJOR issue with the nitrous, however, he has everything figured out. He thinks it is CLOSE to 130's trap car, we estimate it @ making 600-625 to the wheels on spray. BUS lost, but by only a head light assembly! The cobra would inch away whenever bus shifted, the around 7K he would reel him right back in, but in 4th gear it was too much. So we estimate bus trapping around 130 is well. The car is a ******* MACHINE!
Vid to come soon.
Ohh, btw, I have yet to get any sleep, so forgive for the lack on spelling and grammar!

Hey Trjackson, I am extremely sorry that I didnt get a chance to look over your car and spend some time on it and talk with you guys. Time flew by and the MR2 had tied me up for a while. Maybe if you get a chance it will be possible to stop back by, and we can just focus on your car! Good to hear Nathan did well racing, and very impressive to keep up with that type of mustang! Thanks again for coming out yesterday!

HAHA, no biggie with my car! I am hoping to start my project this winter, I am trying to stay low-key and avoid races as is currently. You and I both know it wasn't ur guy's fault with the delay bus's car. That fuel pump dying killed every bit of 1.5 hours, hell we where gone to get race gas for that long, then another .8 hours to do the install. As usual, you guys impress the hell out of me! I can't wait to have you guys do some stuff to my car!
Max, did you get a chance to ride in it? It is retarded! It kinda lost the linear pull, it is still ohh so smooth, but when it hits 7K it is game over!

no rides were given, unfortunately . he had some alternator problems so it was sort of a race against the battery to get home and change it before the car died. maybe some other time.... *hint hint*

Alternator problem was really weird, the voltage would drop when the car heated up during a run, then after cooling off for a while it would go back up. New one is supposed to be here tommarow.
Max, what was the name of that metal shop again? I'm going to try and stop by there this friday... I'll try and give you a ride sometime. Know of anymore rotary meets before winter?

LOGAN, what do you think of having a Semi-private dyno day? Obviously, everyone in your crew is invited. I would like to invite some of my close and personal friends down to your shop and having a dyno day! If you do not want to disclose this in here, you may pm me a few potential wkends, and pricing. I can garauntee 5-8 cars.
