pinks = tv show i guess ??

 

Yes its a TV show on the speed channel. Its supposed to be like street racing but in a controlled environment at a track. They seem to want it to look like a WWF match this year but in the case of my show it turned out more like a comedy watch it truned out to be pretty funny Jeff

 

>so what did you do with the Civic?

and congrats

 

God job sticking it too em although it seems like his freinds were the ones with the big mouths but nonetheless good job i am proud to be the owner of my fine domestic fbody

 

ate'em up. What do you run 1/4 mile wise on/off the bottle normally?

 

The honda guys keep saying you ran 25psi!? What did you really run, 15-18psi?

 

Sweet man. Way to be a good sport--not sure i would with my baby though. I wouldn't be so forgiving on that show. They bring a weak car then they go home with nothing. Giving a car that many lengths is just rediculous.

You should have said give me 19/20ths of the track and i'll ride my bicycle

 

1300 ft and a gatorade...

 

I forgot the gatorade, i probably wouldn't have made it...lol

 

My car was making 16-18 up until I yanked my intercooler and installed alky injection. Then it started making 22#s I didn't realize the IC was that much of a restriction but I knew I would have trouble hotlapping with it cause of heatsoak.

You can see a dyno sheet and some track times from right after the show here

their is a link on the left that says pinks and has a story and look in the high horsepower club for a dyno sheet. My car was seriously detuned for this show i was pulling lots of timing a very small air filter and i had my 2 step at 2300 i usually launch at 4200. I took the car down the track after I won it. That car was no joke the guy just couldn't drive. I barked the tires in every gear that thing shifted well and I'm sure i ran a better time than him my first time in the car
My car has run 9.40s at 146 with a bad launch I have made a few more changes since the show and expect high 8s this year. The reason my car was missing was I was pulling a bunch of timing the first two races I had a switch in the car to put timing back in but second was gone and it wasn't gonna help everything was going exactly how i planned untill I lost second then I needed the bottle because I have a very low first and 3 is 1to1 it just won't go in third at that low rpm but it did with Juice to give you an idea how fast that was I had a tune in the car to run about 10.7 for the first two the last race was a low ten or high nine in the low 140s. The only reason i wasn't freaking out is I had a great crew and my job was to drive i didn't have to touch the car if i would have had to work on it I would have been a complete wreck. The final numbers on the civic 658whp a legit low ten high nine car with a driver the car weighed in at 2100#s

 

do you have a direct link to download the video?

Great show.

Why?

 

I always wondered if this was for real. Did you really get to keep that car? I can't imagine putting all that time and money into a car, and risk losing it on national tv!! That's one bad bird by the way.

We want 20 lengths!!
