NICE! obviously there's a big seat of the pants difference...what are your rpm's like at around 65 mph? I'm asking because I plan on getting some gears for my S197.
Thanks Cam !
Joe - I still can't believe you're doing a teardown at the track when nothing's broken...lol good for you though proving all the naysayers wrong
Joe, i can't keep it a secret any more! The cam in joe's car is a stock 95 lightning flat tappet cam. Sorry joe!
I thought the "secret" was in good hands with you. Never trust a guy who is in with Hughes.

I think the lack of a third pedal for all these years has finally got the best of him!I thought the "secret" was in good hands with you. Never trust a guy who is in with Hughes.
Rare!!!!!!
No wonder it runs so good. Joe if I don't go home that weekend I will defiantly be rolling up there. I don't have a ticket but I will come up there and watch everyone run!!
Later

Joe I think your crazy for tearing down your motor just so some idiots can see what you got. They aren't going to be anymore happy when its all down then they were before. They probably just want to watch you go through all that work.
Its not rocket science. Its not like your making 800 hp on a stock bottom end and there is some mystery on how your doing it. The car is making 367 hp its not impossible to do. What is so difficult for people to understand on how the car runs 10.6. You have a car that make 367 hp and weight almost nothing. You put a suspenion under the car that will hook and a tire with the right gear. I hope im not losing anyone. Now you take the car to Cecil and wawla you have a car that runs 10.6's take it to PRP and it probably runs 11.10 who knows but it is still fast.
Maybe in your equation you should have cecil in the calculation.
367*2825-.5sec(cecil)=10.60 and people will be able to sleep at night.
Yes my car runs 11.4's(hopefully 11.2's this year) at prp and would probably run 10.7's at cecil and quicker if I gutted and opened up the exhaust but thats not my cup of tea. I don't care what the timeslip says on the street its all even. The only people that think there is some mystery are the ones that don't understand how a car works.
If a flycut piston is putting you in the 10's I'm sending mine out to get done today. Bottom line Joe it's your car and what do you have to prove. Anytime you have a fast car people are going to talk $hit thats when you know you are doing something right.
Don't tear it down Joe.

I think the "secret" is that you have been busy swapping out that fly cut stroker before you down there for the tear down
X2 - I drive mine all the time and enjoy the snot out of it. Yeah, it could be quicker / faster if I stripped it and went to one of the mineshaft tracks, but what do we really have to prove to anyone? I have the quickest / fastest 2.3 at PRP that is driven there mostly every week. Do I get a cookie? If we arent doing this stuff for ourselves, whats the point ;)

Would you detail your car and run it down a muddy road or would you go find another way around? Joe built a solid car and is taking it to the best track he can find! Cecil is not a private track to members only, anyone can run there. If you want to get a good e.t., shell out some dough for gas and get down there! If you are satisfied with your times then don't leave the state.

Could Steel City Stangs be in for their own version of Pinks?
1) my car isn't done so I can't post ET's
2)I know why you run your car at cecil and so does everyone else
3) I do have a big mouth and ain't afraid to use it
Like I said a nice 90 degree July day at BSD on a sat tnt but we all know that wouldn't happen
So just tear it down and show everyone it is a 93 stock shortblock with stage 1 trick flow heads and a big cam retarded to hell and back and pat yourself on the back some more and then leave it sit all summer till it is 40 degrees out again and run it down the mountain some more
