dead ws6 and notchback
Well i was just out playing and ran into a t/a with headers,exhaust and cai.
He was cruising around with his buddy in built foxbody notchback mustang with a n/a 347.
Of course they all start off with the cocky ass revving,which i love to do btw.
So i tell them to follow to a safe location and let them have it.
We ran once from a 30 roll, all 3 of us, and I ended up about 2-3 cars ahead of the t/a at about 80 and a few more on the mustang.
Then we go from dig and pretty much same thing.
So we end up at a red light and they say lets do it again no bottle this time.
Fine,im usually a run what you brung kinda guy but i didnt want any crying so i left them at the red light again and had a few cars on them by 80 again.
I think they both needed tires, but they shouldnt come messing with a guy thats got 4-5 more inches of rubber touching the ground and drag radials at that,what did they expect.
Whats bad is I think they should have had me off the spray but traction is a key issue i guess.

nice runs-- I really would like to know a list of your modifications. I asked in another post, and all you said was
some bolt ons and 150 shot?
Which bolt ons?

slp cai,lca's,torque arm,4.10 gears,nitto 305 d/radials and the magic juice
there are a few other things like a self ported throttle body and all the free stuff
if i had to choose the 2 most important it is definitely the tires and sprayLast edited by dpinson; 04-20-2008 at 03:36 PM.

sorry didnt mean to cut you short its just most people dont care about the rest
when you say spray they always are like ohh no wonder
i had a guy tell me to take my bottle off the other night and i had to get smart and tell him to take off his headers
but i ended up running him without it and winning due to what i believe was a driver mistake

dont have any slips right now and dont know how to post them anyhow
i have done alot since the last good timeslip,i ran and broke about a month ago so the time obviously sucked
also i dont mean to be a dick but i really dont like telling all my secrets
some feel fine laying it all out there but i dont
if i tell you exactly what i have then you will know exactly how to beat me right
lets just say im in the 7's and hoping for better as soon as i get my new rear end
you will notice i always say a few car lengths because i dont really want anyone to know how much i beat some of these cars by otherwise they would have a good idea of my cars abilities and i like people to wonderLast edited by dpinson; 04-20-2008 at 08:38 PM.

Here at my home track there is 2 camaro's 1 is a ss ls1's and both are running a 100 shot with headers,exhaust and a Stall, Stock rear ends and engine putting down 7.30's and 40's so the 7's is easily done.
one is running a 2500 stall and the other is running a 4000 stall. If you had a stall installed with your list of mods I could see 7.00's to 6.90's for you.

Atlantic Blue- 2005 Legacy GT Stage 2
That notch back weighs 3000lbs and with a 347 if it had a cam and heads should have been a low to mid 12 second car atleast(if he can hook). I ran into a blue 88 notch the otherday at a gas station so i start talking to him, he popped the hood turns out he has a chevy 402 in it with 13 to 1 comp ratio dynoed aroudn 550rwhp with a built stalled auto. I hope i run itno him again when i get my f-body just to see how bad his low 10 second car would rape me lol.

no stall due to its a six speed but i have launched it decently a few times and it scares me everytime,all i can think about is scattered parts down the track
but i ordered the moser 9" today and i am impatiently waiting
i havent even ever left the line with the spray yet so i expect much better times in the near future

dpinson,
Do you run at Penwell or did they finally build a new track? Penwell used to be 1/4 mile. I lived in Odessa 20 + years ago,and worked with a guy that ran a 71 Challenger with a 440 6 pack and only run low 13's. Makes you really appreciate an LS1.
