Biggest Race I've Ever Had. 440vs302 - Page 2

ReefBlueCoupe · 02-22-2002, 11:51 AM

spray it.

if you had a supercharger installed, would you remove the head unit for him just so you wouldn't be 'cheating?' didnt think so. ya have a power adder, you spent the money on it, so take advantage and use it!

or race him around corners. did you guys decide on the type of race?

Mercury · 02-22-2002, 12:12 PM

Intersting ReefBLueCoupe. WErent you telling me how irresponsible street racing was in my thread? Now your telling someone to take a big block 60's Mopar down a set of twisties??? Hmmmm..

Hey Sky.

Havent heard much from you in a while man. Glad to see ya back. Well, what I would suggest is, tell the guy you all will run two runs. First being with you spraying, second you all on motor.

But if you gotta do one run, make it a fun, close race. The kind stories will be told about in your town. The show down between the two speed dogs of the town.

Even if he wins. You didnt spray him, and you always can next time and blow his doors slam off. Let him brag a little bit first, then show him up.

Dude, it must be nice being on top of the food chain.

LX XLR8R · 02-22-2002, 01:37 PM

hey sky

if you wants to run you off the juice then he isnt racing the "fastest car around" now is he..did you tell him what you ran???dammit sky iff you did..that the first of 3 rules to streetracing..
1.lie
2.lie more
3.whats nitrous?

tell him that all the cars you ran b4 you were on the bottle

you know how many people we hustle with our "all motor stock" stang..i cant remeber the last time we lost $$..people are dumb..i give people flashlights to look at out huslting car and they can even tell that there is aluminum heads on it!!!!the nitous we cant hide anymore but still only about 4 people know what the car actaully does

and tell me again you are not running a 150 shot..say it with me"i am only running a 75 shot"thast all you have to say

and if it for bragging rights and no money then tell the guy this is how it is..you didnt put there nitrous in there cuz its a show car did you

fill us in

B]

ever heard of a road course or autocrossing? what a concept!

and I wasn't telling you how irresponsible street racing was, i said in that situation where 2 lanes merge into one it was foolish. Neither of you were going to let off, and you knew that before the race even began.

Skyman · 02-22-2002, 02:46 PM

Thanks for all the info guys.

I got my mind made up now.

Im going to run a 175shot with slicks (hope nothing breaks).

I'll just say Im running the same old 80 shot.

I agree run what you brung, I like that spark plug analogy. If he says anything I'll say pull a plug and loose some cubes, that will make it fair.

Get this! He is definatly worried about loosing.

He is in the process of removing all his interior, and his bumpers! haha! Also hes got a set of 295 DR's now.

This is gonna be a good one, and it WILL be on tape :-D

ReefBlueCoupe · 02-22-2002, 02:52 PM

that will be sweet. are yall doing at the racetrack or do you have an open place somewhere?

Unit 5302 · 02-22-2002, 08:01 PM

I wouldn't lie man. Just say you're gonna run N20 cause that's what you have. Tell him if he's too scared, he can race some slower cars.

He knows you have the nitrous, that's how your car is setup. Tell him to take his crank and rods out, cause he has a stroker, and that's just not fair, LOL.

This will be the first important run with the N20. 475hp, on slicks, on the stock 1989 T-5. Hoooo man. Best not powershift on this run.

RAGE_5.0 · 02-23-2002, 09:05 AM

good luck sky
put this little ***** in his place.

302 LX Eric · 02-23-2002, 04:23 PM

Sky - hey man, I wish you the best of luck with the race, but be prepared to break something. A 12.54 on motor + 175HP N20 on sticky tires = something is probably going to break.

Also, do you have the proper fuel setup for the 175? Maybe you do, and I just missed the post?

Good luck,
E

Dark_5.0 · 02-24-2002, 02:10 AM

Good luck,

302 vs. 440..........I would spray no doubt, and feel good about it.

90LxDroptop · 02-24-2002, 03:23 AM

when does this run take place?! I can't wait to see the video!!!

exgmguy · 02-24-2002, 07:32 AM

You know what I think.

Just watch spraying that much nitrous. It is a world of difference from an 80 shot. Use a few gallons of race gas, set the timing around 10 degrees, and to a couple short test blasts then check ALL the plugs immidiately.

If you go lean you can run very slow on a 175 shot. Not to mention melt your motor.

He has a low 11 car on slicks, but with drag radials probably low 12's or so.

Be careful.

tireburner163 · 02-24-2002, 11:23 AM

He's pulling his interior. Do the same. Yank you passenger seat, back seat, jack, spare tire, and the front sway bar. See if you can find someone that will let you borrow a set of skinnies.

I wouldn't spray off the line with the stock T-5, get rollin first.

SaleenGTS · 02-24-2002, 11:51 AM

I hear crunch in the future if you hit it with 175. I had a totally rebuilt WC T-5 and it lasted 3 runs(plus a little street fun)....one being on slicks, but Iwas at 430 rwhp then.....be way careful, you will have to hit it later in the run to save the tranny.

DRASTiK · 02-24-2002, 01:07 PM

so when is this going to take place? How far is Ojai from Oceanside??

pxcr_600 · 02-24-2002, 08:28 PM

Hey dude, make sure you get that all on tape and put it on this site, man i gotta see that, if the file is too big, then talk to the owners of this site, I GOTTA SEE THIS!!!!!! WOOP him!! Lay the smackdown!

Skyman · 02-24-2002, 09:12 PM

Yeah this is going to be a killer race.

I already have no back seat, no sway bar, no spare, no sound deadening.

I just have 2 race seats up front and a 8pt cage.

Oceanside -> Ojai = 2.5-3 hrs.

Its definatly going to be on tape, and I will get it up on the site for sure!

everyone say it with me! SKYLER! SKYLER! SKYLER! SKYLER! and make sure you pump your fists when you say it! GL Dude.
