  1. Looking to get done today. Would like to have a garage I can pull my car into take the driver side and tranny side off and press them in(one at a time lol) and be on my way. Lmk asap my old ones are done for.
  2. Im excitied to get our new siberian husky puppy. We pick him up on january 9 and he'll be 6 weeks old and comes with papers and he's first shot's. http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee221/scottsshelby/d73268d4.jpg 1 week old http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee221/scottsshelby/5b5bdaf8.jpg 2 weeks http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee221/scottsshelby/siberian-husky-kaiyah.jpg The last pic is what I think he'll look like.
  3. Copied from anothe site For the last century, horsepower has been used to describe the power output of the internal combustion engine. The horsepower unit was created by James Watt in the 18th century. Its origin is based from how much power a horse could lift in foot pounds, 33,000 ft-lbs to be exact in one minute. The unit is derived from torque, which is the true measurement of the engine physical power production. What is strange about the units of horsepower is that it has no physical meaning. Its an arbitrary unit that has no real signficance in describing the characterisitc of the engine. For those that are curious to calculate horsepower: Horsepower=(rpm/5252)*torque From this equation you can see that horsepower is nothing more than a contrived unit that is based purely from torque and rpm. You’ll notice the number 5252 in the equation, this represents the point at which every dyno graph must intersect horsepower and torque. Its a mathematical relationship, both strange and interesting since horsepower is a function of torque and rpm. There has been much confusion and rumors across the internet about gaining more horsepower. In essence, gaining more horsepower is gaining torque. If you are after “peak” horsepower, you are interesting in carrying the torque curve as high in the rpm range without falling as possible. You can see from the equation that as the rpm’s increase, and the torque remains the same you get a higher horsepower number. What phsycially is happening is that the engine is able to produce enough torque to overcome frictional forces through the air, tires, etc. As you are able to keep the torque from falling off on the top end, you are able to maintain a steady torque curve that will “pull” the car through the mph you are trying to reach. So people who are after “peak” horsepower really want to extend their torque curves as far towards redline as possible, without letting the torque fall off. Check out some dyno graphs and see what I mean. Horsepower doesnt describe the true nature of how the engine performs, its the torque curve. From a tuners perspective, I dont tune off of the horsepower curves. The physical relevance towards the engine performance is arbitrary, since the torque is truely what is effected by the fuel, timing, breathing, etc of the engine. The horsepwer is merely a concocted unit of measure, showing no true characteristics of the engine power output. A good tuner will only make changes from the torque curves, see what increase/decrease the curves show from the changes. So next time you are thinking horsepower, think “what would I want my torque curve to be”?
  4. I've watched and enjoyed all of them and can't wait to see this one. Looks awesome.
  5. This year I'll be in the green ek that I also went 12:30s in and the same mph. The car makes 400hp at 16psi and I had to turn the boost down to 10psi with the junk nittos and no LSD. On 10psi the car made 323 and that's what I ran on track day.. Dyno brian and ips can back me up on that. So I'll make sure I'm at 500whp come track day with a new trans. So watch out lol..
  6. From what he said he's doing pretty good. People are buying every little thing off the car..
  7. I'll take that bet and make it 50$$ lol . My average 60ft was 2.1 and that's not spinning just not coming out of the hole hard enough. If you listen to the video you can hear how long it takes to shift my trans. I want to kick my self in the ass for never spending money on a new tran. FTL
  8. Thanks guy's, I just have a shitty 60 ft. The car is really fun from a roll but this year I'll make sure I have a really good trans and lsd and slicks. This year I'll be in the top 10.
  9. Whats a eariest you can wean a puppy from there mom??
  10. Well after today he said he's parting it out so if anyone needs any parts lmk
  11. The bugs,traffic,old timers won't bother me. The heat I can deal with because I'll have my a/c in my house/car on full blast and just make the best of it. When I went to florida back in 2000 I don't recall ever dealing with long traffic even heading down the cost to miami or daytona beach. If i come back I come back atleast I would've had the joy of a couple christmas's wearing short. Seeing all the badass woman in thong bikini's at the beach lol.
  12. lol I know about the hair, we used the shop vac twice a day to keep the hair off of everything. I have some cash to.
  13. My daughter really loves the breed. We had one and she loved my daughter and they really connected but then she passed away. So for this christmas I would love to get her one. Let me know if you have a pup of under 1 year old or know someone.
  14. Soon as I sold mine my aunt is wanting to buy one so lmk know how much and atleast a 10.1 inch screen thnxs
  15. There weather is perfect for me. 40 is good sleeping weather
  16. It don't matter were you go, you still have to be on your toe's and always be on guard.
  17. Who said I was going to put that shit on the back burner?? For one I got my GED and looking into a community college and loans. Duh
