It might be just me and you. Everyone else is too scared.

///Mcompact 04-27-2008 07:06 PM

I have a feeling by the time I pull into Dorchester...it will start raining.

chrisheltra 04-27-2008 07:38 PM

Who's scared?

Im in.

Richard Head 04-27-2008 08:51 PM

I think more peope will be in, not much traffic on the site this weekend.
Except for Paul, he seemed to have some fun.

Dave 04-27-2008 10:48 PM

Maybe if you have one this coming fall, I might have enough bolt ons to get in the low 8's????

If you have a cux2 computer in yours 5 hours to spare, and enough cash to pay for the parts I have laying around I bet we could make it run 7.9x on the cheap. (provided you borrow some slicks)


Parts list I have laying around: 5lb pulley and belt, 1/2" Diablosport line pressure mod valve, CAI ,90mmMAF ,Ngk tr6's, spare blower (perfect for porting 99-00 bolt pattern) ,ported throttle body,ported plennum,EGR delete plate, Tunes to make it all run.

Edit: and if you could find a MAFIA it would even be extremely safe

I don't have a problem with the time, I might have a little problem coming up with the money to pay you right now. The 10k I had laying around to buy the truck was all I had, to many maxed out credit cards right now to even spare a few hundred bucks.

I wouldn't be in a hurry for the small ammount of funds required for my spare parts, after all the only thing I would ask you to even pay for would be the 90mm maf, pulley and belt (all at mexican discount prices).

Your Brother has helped me out enough so it would be the least I could do.

Side note, What you would need to bring: 7qt of trans fluid (Mercon only), 2 bottles of water wetter (one for radiator one for intercooler), 1 F250 4R100 4x4 Transmission pan and filter, 1 170 deg T stat, 2 bottles of GM supercharger oil (I have two but I would need them replaced), 1 can of Gunk engine degreaser (I aint workin on no dirty engine), 1box of 1/8 vacuum end caps, 12" OF 3/8 fuel line, 24" of 1" rubber fuel line, 1 can of CHEM dip carb and parts cleaner (I have a can but it would need to be replaced), sweet talk Chrisheltra out of his K&N elbow, 3 cans of brake cleaner, Beer for me as payment for my labor, bull whip for Shaun (my brother) so we can keep him working productively, 1 3/4" NPT cap (from Lowes) for egr delete, Traction bars (so we can install if you want to run slicks).

In addition if you want to delete the Cats you would need to buy 2 ea 2 1/2 long radius 45's and 2 18'single flare straight pices of 2 1/2 pipe. This will also add time to the project so add more beer.

I like to go fast for cheap so plan on porting everything that aint connected to the crank.

No that's not it. He leaves for Norfolk VA for 2 months tomorrow. He won't be able to race for a while.

I just thought I'd give a little better notice.

Pushed back another week,

Come on guys you can slow down to 8.0 and join in on the fun. Hell I slowed down to 10.0.

1iron 04-29-2008 03:59 PM

If I can get to the track that day I will run. I just never know if I can make it until the day before. I did get back to the track on Sunday and I don't think 8.0 will be a problem for me. I just won't run on the bottle.


Paul

Jeff 04-29-2008 05:02 PM

Count me in if I can get to the track that day !

Mike 04-29-2008 06:09 PM

I'm just like you guys, I won't know until that day if I can make it, and even then I might get called to work while I'm at the track.
