Mike I'm just a "newbie" here . You of all people should know the fastest car with the longest list of parts doesn't always win the race . I personally have not driven a car at the track in over 20 years . And like I stated all this electric stuff and fuel injection is all new to me . What I have learned in a short time is its not hard to make the power but getting it to the ground is a different story . But you can be assured that this "newbie " will figure it out at some point . So best of luck this year in your racing adventures . If buy chance we end up side by side I'll try my best to make a race of it I didn't recognize your name when you first posted the new car, but after a bit it hit me. Didn't you have a big block tubbed out camaro you raced? With all you've posted, to put it politely... I don't really know what to believe. lol So... I'm officially calling 'bullshit' on you above post. ...and you still haven't answered how fast your car went at the 1/4 mile a few weeks ago... with the previous owner at the weel With the following specs, it should be stupid fast! 394 cubic inch Borg Warner s488 turbo AFR 227 heads Neil Chance promod converter E85 tuned FAST bank to bank system, AMS 500 boost controller Mikes 400 turbo w/ manual brake/ manual valve body Over the intake air/water intercooler adjustable coil-overs all aroundOh yea, a pic of your previous car... Mr. beginner. lol

Hey mike I think your the one that called me the newbie and as far as the silver car I personally never made a pass in it . As far as what the previous owner claimed an 8.55 but like I stated I have not personally seen that so its hearsay as far as I'm concerned. I have seen your car run and it runs well . If I unload my car and it runs faster than 6.50 I'll be happy if it don't then I guess I'll be in your class . and as far as picking on Greg W why would I do that ? I wasn't picking on anyone .

When you were originally talking about your new car, you seemed like a newb, and I was trying to help you out. Only later did I figure out you were the guy that had the tubbed out Camaro. Reading some of your older posts, you've been racing in one form or another for a long time. 'Picking on', 'Calling out'... whatever you want to call it. You brought up your new car like you were a newb asking for help... and have been very elusive. Judging from the specs, your car should be a great match-up for Casto, Homer, or Greg... especially if it comes remotely close to running the 8.55 second 1/4 mile time claimed by the previous owner. Racing someone like me would be ridiculous. It would be like me calling out 8.50 1/8 mile cars in real street. Good luck with the car. If it even comes close to running at its potential, you'll want to find cars much faster than mine if you want a 'good' race. That thing should be a bullet! Out of curiosity... How much boost are you running? Does it always run E85? (some pretty damn good stuff for a turbo car) Good Luck!

Just 6lbs of boost and I keep on E85 I don't know how to change the tune up with the computer. And I would be afraid of screwing it up so I figure I better just leave it alone and see what happens .

So Greg just how fast is your car??? it has a pro charger doesn't it No, it has a Vortech YSI on it. It is just a small blower compared to the big Procharger units. I was able to go down to KVD last saturday but only got one test pass in before another car ran off the track and then it started raining. The car ran a 6.90 with a 1.49 60'. Are you thinking about coming over to the NOP race next weekend? You car would fit right in that Outlaw Street class and they are promising a well prepped track.

Greg, you're about a full second off your normal times. What happened? I'm guessing the track didn't agree with the new, smaller tires?

I have only been able to make 1 pass so far this year and it did honestly run a 6.90. I posted the video on this site in another thread. I am not sure how fast it will be. I am on a 26x8.5 slick and it is proving to be a challenge for a stock leaf spring car. If I can get the car to run a 5.90 on the baby tire I will be happy. I hope to NOP, it is a heck of a race and a bunch of fun.
