And we could not have done it back in the late 90s and early 2000s without the help of Chris Tuten who was NEVER too busy to help us out and give us advice to hell make us faster....

If spdracr0 comes up with the car, I was going to ask you for a low interest loan. Especially since my credit is shot after the lightning and mustang got repossessed.

I know what it means, I was asking why ya'll always mention that. I have seen you guys say that in more than one thread.

I am trying to figure out if you are saying that it's so bad ass that it only needs 30% or are you saying that it's such a piece of shit that 30% wrinkles it up.

Sorry the question wasn't clear the first time, I did it from my phone in a hurry.

And just an FYI, 30% with that controller and those noids could be close to 100%. Or maybe 60% or 80%, but the number is just a reference, not a true indication of the actual percentage. Wasn't sure if you realized that or not. You can put a controller on a bunch of different types and sizes of noids and the percentage will be different on all of them. Some people can't figure out why they go from 15% to 18% and it makes a big difference but when they go from 30% to 60% it doesn't do anything.

Such a POS that 30% wrinkles it up.

Yeah I kinda wonder about the noids and the percentages because there are a lot of different noids on the market which flow different rates.

So did your bday make you become a dick towards me/my car? If 30% is mentioned in 2498347 posts, it's probably because that's what the progressive is at. Im not shooting 100 from home ever with this block, and it is what it is. No need to talk about my setup anymore. It's not good enough for everyone I guess, but im happy with it. Slow progress.

All I know is that Brandons car runs pretty well just as it sits now. I know that the ARB will help a bunch when it gets installed. It made a huge difference on my car as well. I just wish I had the ARB on it when the little 302 was still in the car. Maybe we would have picked up our 6.9x timeslip instead of the 7.0's we were getting.

Keep up the good work guys!

I didn't know that for the longest time until Tuten explained it. There's more to it than what I said, but I think you get the idea anyway.

A dick towards you/your car? Because I asked a question? Don't flatter yourself, I wouldn't waste the energy.

Everytime ya'll talk about "how your car leaves", you (or someone) mention 30%. I just didn't understand what you were getting at, so I asked.

You're a big dog now- run around the tracks barking like one anyway- so no need for anyone else to try to help you, you got it all figured out!

Good luck! With a windsor running those numbers you need it!

Like I said, youre being a dick. I never said it was bad ass, but I do know its limited to power, and probably due to come apart. Gather up your reps for talking shit, and when do I go around acting like a big dog? Guess we all cant be like Wes can we? And what's the windsor comment about? I have a slow windsor? That's weird that it's faster than a few of them and working with less imo. But either way, gather your "+ reps" for such an awesome post, and ill still say there was no need to be a dick. Either way, ill be at the track trying to get stuff figured out. Thought you were actually trying to give advice and not talk shit. Thanks anyways.

Grow up Brandon you sound like an idiot.

I never was giving advice. I was asking Bryan a question. You got your panties in a wad, but it looks to me like Bryan understood what I was asking and answered the question.

Gather my reps? I don't even know what the hell that means.

Next time you ask for help- I will be a dick. I certainly won't OFFER help like I do so often.

And no- you can't be like me.

I wasnt referring to this thread on the you helping me out part. I was referring to when you actually did help.
