The people that make them kind of claims don't post there race weight.....that is what it would have to be with only 290 rhp.....it would have to be on a diet for sure.....an auto car with 109 would have to have 325 whp i would think.......my car has 340 and the highest it has mph on motor is 110.......so i would have to see that car hit the scales to see what is going on....just my .02

 

Hey I am in Bowling Green just wondering what track it was you were at??? The 100% humidity sounds like Beech Bend....May not be ...But as far as your times there aren't that bad...I got my car last year and it ran 13.3 with cc305 at 102 -104 with edel. shorties,flowmaster catback w,3.73's stock stall... I thought the same as you What is wrong with this thing....Don't get discouraged...... I went to long tubes true duals,tune up and some suspension, and I made it down to 12.6 109.......You need to come up to Bech Bend and race on a cool evening...Me and a bunch of my buddies are ussually there ....Let me know and maybe we can dial it in a lil better...if you think it maybe false knock or something I have a knock module you can use so iff it could be the prob.....No biggy...Let me know sometime if you plan to come up and we can see what we can do....L8R Ben

 

Wtf did I do wrong? I have headers, CAI and water pump and I only dynoed 291hp/319tq. I am jealous. Any suggestions?

 

I sent my friend a pm about his mods. I do know that he was running with only the drivers seat in the car.

BTW I used to live in bowling green about 6years ago, wonder if I've seen you around. Anyhow, if I get up that way again I'll message you

I am currently getting ready to install TEA heads and a XE 230/236 cam so this will be my best ever bolt-on time. I will not be going to the track before the install. I am alos on the EFA website and Tidewater Racing.

 

Since you think you can do it (your goal) why don`t you think I can? This statement is contradictory to the one you made about my car...
I don`t understand?

I mean would it not be better to ask me how i got there, to make it easier for you to get there? I`m not flaming you I just think you shouldn`t be so quick to raise the BS flag.

By the way email me anytime and I would be glad to help you attain your goal.

 

I was at the track from 9-4, and got a few runs in. My car looks like this- http://www.lxcoupe.com/images/tnspee...s/DSC00652.jpg

Yea the track seemed to be alright when I went. Some guys were only cutting 2.0x sixty foot times on ET streets though. I didn't have a problem with traction at all. Do you go to any of the car shows around here?? I go to the bellevue one on saturday, you should check it out sometime.

John

 

I have seen your car last year at the cool springs cruise in last year...your car looked familiar, but I recognized that single pipe exhaust on the left side there...my car was under construction all year last year.

I was actually at the Bellvue cruise the last Saturday of March, I am part of the MTFBA we were the "featured car club"
My car is far from show condition right now, it looks like a pale black right now and the front end is caked with bugs, I may check it out this weekend though, what part of TN do you live in?

 

I live about five minutes away from the cool springs mall, on the brentwood side. I go between brentwood(home) Franklin(work) and Murfreesboro(school).

John

 

Holy crap, I live 3 minutes from the cool springs mall, over in the Alara Farms area, right across the street from Primus! on the franklin side...My wife attends MTSU also. Small world. I'll try to head up to Bellvue this weekend, You know Tim right? that tall guy that drives that 2001 WS6, I guess his dad and him run the show up there...I could be wrong though.

 

Oh dude, my ex lives there If you pull into the alara, take the first right, then another right she lives behind there....... Small world, I'll keep a look out for you in the area
