Well said.
Your right, my fenders are cut. The fenders I put on to run my slicks. I put my stock fenders on when I have street tires. Do you only put your wrinkle roof on for the track?? If I (and the other 30 people who witnessed) remember the last time you "called me out" I walked all over the last shit box you "claimed" was the owner of the streets by CAR LENGTHS. You went ONE 10 second pass. Im sure I could run ONE 10 just like you, and then my motor would also take a shit shortly after, just like yours. Im PERFECTLY fine with a 11 second DD, where I dont have to worry about the motor popping. I dont need ONE 10 second pass to boost my ego M@, thats you. I Simply stated that SOHC is the way to go, IMO. Now someone has a car that can run with yours (if you ever get it back together) and you make up a million reasons why yours is better. You just make me laugh![]()
I'm not making up a damn thing, I simply called you out *AT THE TRACK*... where I'll have traction this time versus when we raced last time, retard. Yes, I went one 10 second pass, but it's one more than you have ever ran in your life, right? Right. So, until you do make that ONE pass, stfu. Something to keep in mind, my old motor only popped because overboost was set way too high. This new motor will have plenty to keep it safe this time around, and plenty more power. Your motor hasn't popped... yet. But when it does (if you even have the courage to tell us about it, unless I see it happen at the track), and I'm pretty sure it will really soon, I'll be right there toat you... believe that.
So, stop making excuses and either say YES I accept your call out, or NO I decline your call out. It's as simple as that. I know what you're going to say, and it's alright, but just say it so I can have the piece of mind that I called you out, you know I'm faster, and you bitched out again.
kthxbye?
My buddy Hladio: STOCK B16, sSTOCK head, JG intake manifold, topmount setup(jgFAB),ARP headstuds, E85, MAYBE a set of cams, cant remember....Neptuned by Servion @ Revolutions
525 to the wheels....then it bent a couple rods into horseshoes 8 runs later....
It CAN be done tho M@, because it HAS been done.
Maybe not reliably, but it has been done.
Good deal squeezing 11's out of a single. Kudos as far as "bang for the buck" goes. Imma fan of underdogs, and people that take the road less traveled, and singles that put up good numbers and times kick ass for that reason. Who give a shit what the car looks like? Imagine what itd be like getting waxed by a wrinkled, dented, rust bucket.....sleeper anyone?
Like I said, Kudos!
Come on, though. Who's honestly going to be proud of a motor that lasts for 8 passes? That is NOTHING to brag about, sorry.
p.s. That's with headstuds, I'm sure with stock head bolts it would have lifted the head well before 500hp.
He's misinformed. Ladio(hilario) made that on a stock ls-vtec setup with type r cams. It ran for about a year, was daily driven and slightly bent one rod. He took that car to the track almost every weekend, i'm pretty sure it made more than 8 passes. Yes stock headstuds would have lifted much before 500hp.
P.s. that power was uncorrected. I would be pretty damn proud of that motor lasting for a year without any issues.
Oh and to add to the fire dohc ftw.

Right on.... well that's pretty damn cool then. I'd be curious to know how much power he actually made then... also if it was at altitude or not.
If I could safely make the power I'm going after with stock pistons and rods, I would, but I figure the extra few hundred bucks for the piece of mind I get that I will make the power safely is worth it to me. Maybe next year I'll finally give in and sleeve a block. lol

Well SHIT what the hell is going on...
I'll be "that guy" that gets flamed - I'm 30 w/ more cars than sense so I don't give a shit. RELAX. This scene is too small anymore (counting guys w/ EXPERIENCE and KNOWLEDGE only, not the retards) to beef.
As far as I know the both of you guys are doing good things... there is nothing wrong w/ being happy about a project you put together... doesn't matter if you get greasy doiing it on your own or if you're a wallet-racer and get it done. The rivalry is good -- but let the cars do the talking...

I'N NOT A GYNECOLOGIST, BUT I'LL TAKE A LOOK
That's why I called that bitch out. I just got word that my motor may be done by this weekend which means it'll be tuned and running the following week after break-in.
Race me on the 6th in the heads-up class Mike. Name how much you want to race for.
