Oh, hai.

**Troll** · 07-15-2016, 12:57 AM

Did you sneak some stuff out of my fridge ?

**wick** · 07-15-2016, 01:05 AM

Nah. I have my own supplies that get replenished every couple days.

**wick** · 07-15-2016, 01:06 AM

I do admire your new Sig update though. Fascinating to say the least .

Lisa's car has a 400 in it for track
Buick v6 turbo iant going to make same power delivery as a n20 v8...the hit form the spray is gonna be harsh vs the tq of the turbo setup
Also lisa's car is light

Its 2016 and big tire just isnt the way unless you street race...local buddy went 1.15 60' on a 275 radial at prp

Also depending on gear ratio of that 200r4 it wont like the spray if you supply a man shot

My new 210-xhd from rossler has a 1.97 and its for a turbo truck....my buddy with the 1.15 60' has a 1.6 first gear and sprays 600 out of hole

I havent made a pass this year ans last year only got to make grudegment day but did make few 8s passes...Cocaine is apart for a different route or i would of made passes this year.....im not stopping till i go 7.9s with truck

As for rest of members many do talk...seems as only way to get action on site is for me to build and rebuild or redo my trucks or for that sublak guy and his mach 1 and now your monte

I sae your old car....wtf is all i got to say

Seriously save your money and stay away from the 200r4...uncle carl is god but no way would i invest into a 200r4 for a monte.....th400 or 4l80 for your build

My old 4l80 is sitting not far from your old house...supposed to go in a 2010 camaro i built

One thing is not everyone has the budget to spend on projects..It takes an assload of money to try and compete with todays standards of vehicles...look for example at yhe capris on this site...hoe much money does he have into it? The new ecoboost stang runs 10s with minimal mods minus the cost of car which also brings up the topic of its easier for many to go dealer sign a loan for 6 yrs and then biy bolt ons vs building a vehicle

Then you look at how radical some old combos are and how slow they are vs how fast you can go with a showroom stock vehicle

Other thing is the deffintion of strert has ppls pussies bleeding....theres a street car that ran 7.58@180 not long ago many will say blown racecar and they drive a bolt on car...so this creates butthurt or loss of interest in hobby when they cant compete with how fast cars are in 2016

Fact is this sport hobby or etc you call it has evolved into some insanely fast vehicles....

Then you have the vehicles that are so butchered together they are dangerous to everyone when they make a pass or they do nothing but have peoblems...

In the end parking lot flexing may be best for many with a bolt on car payment

I agree with all of that. The way cars have evolved from the factory now is amazing.

Shawn never said anything about her having a 400 in her car for track and I talk to him every day. No big deal though. Whatever works for her. Yeah, a turbo Buick isn't going to make anywhere near the hit off the line we get from ours. Completely different game there.

**George C** · 07-15-2016, 03:50 PM

Yup she even carried a spare for drag week and his silver car is a 400 trans car as well

So save that money...sell what you have go 80e if you want OD or toss a 28" on rear and run a 400.....even with 373s and 28s youll be fine cruising

So, I figured what the hell..take my car down to the lawn chair nationals this afternoon. A buddy of mine was there. He comes up to me and says while he was buying a shirt from Lisa O'Connor at the PID display, she says to him...holy shit, that's an amazing sounding Monte and looks awesome. I think that's my brothers Friend.
Now, this is what was said to me by him and I have no idea to the truth of it. Was kinda funny though. I get a parking spot and open the hood. People flocked around to see what was making the ground shake.

Anyways, these silly little trips help shake out the gremlins associated with a full build like this. Suddenly I noticed my volts dropped to zero. Turns out it's the cluster causing it. Only gaugein the factory dash I use is the volts and fuel sender. This puts me in a position of saying screw it...remobe all of it and do my own deal there. Looks like a winter project. I'm done wrenching on this thing. Time to enjoy it now. I have waaaaayyyyyyy too many hours in the build of this car.

**wick** · 07-21-2016, 01:20 AM

I must add...the lawn chair nationals lived up to the name. There were more saved spots with phuckin lawn chairs than there were cars there. By the time I left there were 600+ vehicles. Probably 100 or so didn't belong there. Idiots bringing new mustangs and vettes. I wouldn't expect anything less from those type of people though. Idiots had about 30 spots taken up with brand new stuff. Who wants to see that?? Mustans, vettes, caddies.. leave that shit home.

Bottom line, nothing has changed in the last 6 years. Hahaha

**Troll** · 07-21-2016, 08:32 AM

Who won the flexing competition? You?

**wick** · 07-21-2016, 08:52 AM

Nobody. I just sat in my lawn chair. Never said a word

**TooFast98Cobra** · 07-21-2016, 09:20 AM

Well i hope you washed it first lol

**wick** · 07-21-2016, 09:38 AM

Oh, for sure then California duster 4 times while we were there. I even took the 7 stage mother's kit and re waxed it in the lot!!! By the time I was done it was time to go home. I never win.
