  1. :fuuuu: Are they going to adhere to it based on trap speed also?
  2. Only car I regret selling is the silver Evo. Building another one now just like it. But it's still just not quite the same.
  3. Hopefully I can get into the 13s
  4. I would run without a cage, no question. (if it were allowed) Driving a caged car on the street without a helmet is more dangerous than taking a car that (from the factory) does 150-160 for a run on a closed course IMHO. When Car and Driver, Motortrend, any magazine, or even the factory tests these cars for max speed they sure as hell are not putting cages in them for the test.
  5. Anyone know for sure what the safety requirements are?
  6. The biggest problem with this conversation is the assumption of static requirements for satisfaction, which just isn't the case. Everyone is different. Problem number two is most people assumptions of successfulness and happiness are far screwed from reality. Picture some GQ looking dude, smiling from ear to ear, hopping on his private jet, slaying puss all night, after working all day as the big swinging dick of the hedge fund he manages. Happy and successful is how most people would portray him. It's the same guy that does unimaginable amounts of Coke just to "enjoy" his so fucking wonderful life, and also the guy that usually eats a self inflicted 12 gauge sandwich when things get tough. The picture looks a little different now. The easiest way to know what is important is how you would act if it were gone. Personally, I could lose my job, my money, my cars, or any of my possessions and get over it. Obviously my kids are the most important thing to me,... And really what drive me to even do anything I lived without my wife for a while, and although I made it through it,... I found out the hard way that she was more important to me than one night stands. And this is coming from someone who probably has some stories to rival yours. Again, marriage isn't for everyone.... And some marriages need to end, as they are unhealthy for both parties. But don't look at it as black or white,.. And honestly don't get anyone elses opinion. Only you know what's right.
  7. Do it! I'll even order you one in at X-plan if you take me for a ride.

    Best b team???

    Can I get two spots? :gabe:
  9. Not to stir the pot, but I actually find this interesting. Leaving manufactured homes out of the conversation... Is there a title difference between a MODULAR home with a full basement and a stick built home with a full basement?
  10. Lol. I got the whole -us thing. Genus is the answer. I'm not questioning that. Maybe I'm way off, but I would bet atleast 10% of the parents don't know the word genus, nor the meaning. Let alone the kids.
  11. Looks great dude. Those valve covers are amazing. Btw, if you do go with a Killer Chiller, they organized a group buy on SVTSNAKE. 100 off. Get it on it!
  12. I thought of genus, and that's what we used. But it's a word he has never been taught, and the homework is all stuff that is suppose to be done on their own. Genius doesn't really rhyme. I was just kind of amazed of the thousands of words that could have been used, why "Venus" when the only real answe is a word that not one child in the class knows
  13. Tell me, I am missing some obvious word.... I can't believe a second grader is suppose to know "genus"... so I can't even figure out, of all the words that could be used..... why "Venus" http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii37/jordancampbell2008/photo.jpg
  14. Back when my old Evo was on E85 with PTE 1000s, a single 255 pump, and a small ass FP white rabbit turbo I only got like 15 mpg on average. On 93 I got about 23 on average. I don't know how you are seeing so little difference in MPG. My injector scaling between the two tunes was over a 30% difference
  15. I was impressed as hell. To be fair, it was the tuner AND intake and exhaust.
  16. I'd love to be in. I've read tons of books on the subject, yet 90% of the best practices I've aquired from real people rather than text. Always game to learn more. You know the saying, If your not moving forward....
  17. Sorry man. Been buried in work. I'll hit ya up this weekend. Actually,... if you still got that Vegas trip hookup,.. text me as soon as you get this. Troyer has an in house Dyno. A good customer of mine has had them do about 5 trucks for him, including a V10. This guy is about 75 years old, and anal as hell. I seen his dyno sheets before and after and it was almost 100hp He also logged 3.5 mpg better on the trip home than the trip there.
  18. The 6.8 is a great engine. BTW,... this is a must: http://www.troyerperformance.com/cgi-bin/ppistore.pl?user_action=detail&catalogno=Stage1-SDV10
  19. Demonoid is down, one of the few times I actually NEEDED it... fml Any suggestions for a good alternative?
  20. WTF is going on here.......
  21. This is what my car lacked. It was a time bomb when I bought it, and honestly I expected worse carnage than what I encountered. I have read a ton since getting the car, fixed/changed the weak links, and don't think I will ever have another problem again.
  22. Got it!, lol I had Fox Lake do the block. I was REALLY tempted to have them port the heads and toss some cams in....
  23. Rods, crank, and bearings were great. Had a few shitty pistons, and had to bore the block 20 Ended up just getting pistons, rings, and bearings.
