curious....how are you measuring the run? are these from a dig? are these from a 50 roll till what mph? im curious as to how your doing this... good chance i might be out this weekend on my bike and might be interested in seeing this car for myself

slight dog? haha, where did you gather that?? the car's tune didnt let it do anything but spit and sputter until the thing got into boost... and if you hit it in first, it was by no means a dog, even with the pure shit tune

yea lower power might work better down low, as for the gearing do ya think it needed it? or was it more of a driver error for thta race? cause from what i gatherd the TT Trans am on here is a slight dog up till 1/8 mile with its 308 gears

It was more of a traction issue from a dig, car had all stock susspession, it just did'nt hook when it came into boost. It has 3:27 gears in it which are probably perfect for the street with the turbos. This car spools quick and it's no dog down low, that's one of the reasons for constantly breaking the tires. I sold it to Terry cause of financial reasons, he would of been the only one I would have sold it to, if he did'nt want it I would have kept it. I will be getting his 96gt and have some nice plans for it down the road.

I beleive these were down from about a 60mph roll to about 130, and Terry just kept pulling him the whole run, the car is very fast, that says something when you can beat two R1's even from a roll.

I here ya, but the car is in good hands so I don't feel so bad, plus I'm sure he'd let me take it for a spin if I wanted to.

Stab it, steer, and watch the R1 disappear! First bike was from a 75mph roll and second one was from a 45mph roll and we ran up to about 140mph. Let me know if you end up bringing your bike out we will get together and make some runs! Looking forward to meeting up! Terry

yea no prob, as long as its nice out sat i should be out the mile area. as for racing a bike, some riders cant ride some can. a high HP car can usually get a bike. i know what my bike ran years ago and im sure the car of yours should be similar to that old time i ran

**SonofaBish** · 09-27-2007, 07:30 AM

We'll have to line 'em up someday as well... If my car EVER gets done... boy will I be rusty... will be a year since i've driven a manual .... but i think it should be a pretty even match up

Well he had the fuel lines custom pressed and that took the shop that did it a couple days each time i guess... Plus, he's only able to work on it the days that they are actually in the shop (he teaches at wyotech and isn't in the shop on a daily basis).... Plus, to add to all this, last week was the "end of the cycle" there or something to that effect, so he didnt get any time in the shop last week and isnt gonna get any time in the shop this week b/c its the beginning of the new cycle... so its basically sat for the last two weeks... no big deal really... i know i'm at the mercy of the wyotech schedule right now, so theres nothing i can do about it... He tells me he's going to attempt to get some work done on it this weekend ... However, the fuel system isnt the only problem... apparently the small leak on the passenger header is now a large leak, and he wants to get that fixed before we do any more tuning...
