Not to shabby at all,

12.53 about a month ago with some wore out BFG's managed a mear 1.80 short time. The sun was down at Fayetteville motorsports park and the track was real cold.

Just aquired a new set of BFG's and might head back out there this sunday. I believe the car has a good 30 or 40 in it

The car is making extremely good power, trapping around 109 and getting near stock mileage!

Thought so, but don't think i ever saw his car with welds. Figured there cant be that many F1 camaros around with a cowl hood.

Alvin,
Cool you are working with Bryan. Seems like about a year ago that we were emailing about me making a hotcam chip for you, now you have stepped it up. There are not many of us 93 guys still using stock ECM's. 12.5@109 man i need to learn to launch 12.67@113.8

Must have been a different Alvin, The only other programming I bought was from a company that quickly went out of buisness. Who do you work for?

I bought a chip from mustgofaster along long time ago when he first came out. That thing got like 8 mpg and had some cold morning start quirks.

The car also sounded like it was shooting for ducks going down the track.

Two weeks after I got into this stuff I had picked the car up from a 13.27 to a 12.99 stock head/convertor. Mileage has also picked up quite a bit. I usually average 13-22 depending on where and how I drive. When I worked at Reed-Lallier it was so close that the car would never warmeven to the first dash in the gauge, consequently no MPG now driving back and forth from Charolette i get around 23mpg.

Me and Brian have had some great success, we are really enjoying this.. Its quite honestly a blast.


Kudos to Dean Taylor, Scott Abrino (sp??), and Tracy Ploof all pcmforless.com who have made it in GMHTP this and last issue


Did I hear Mr. Dalton is going to take off his DFI off and get a Chip by Chipmunk? (pcmforless)

Could easily have been 2-2.5 years ago before mustgofaster was really up and running & i never sold you anything. I just burn them for myself & a couple of friends. No biggie just a few emails about an Ed Wright based chip. Could be mistaken but there can't be that many 93's from fayetteville on this board.

That is suprising to hear about Bob, always thought the quick tuneability was a killer advantage with the DFI for brackets.
