I am not even going to address you personal problems. To each their own.

In person, I rarely talk myself up, or boast. When conversation arises on something I know, or do well, I speak and bring something to a conversation...other wise I say little.

I think its a situation where you are letting your own self pride cause you to get carried away. Surely you don't think you can beat a turbo bullit, or let a vette have a jump and then run him down like that with the mods you have

Since your so good at analyzing patterns, and obviously use such elusive details to come up with FBI quality phsycological profiles...I'm just dying to hear. (Oh...Criminal Justice is one of my degrees...and I exccedded at it...read a little law to)

You have a long history of coming on here and braging about how bad *** your car runs then taking it to the track and not running the number. I mean alot of your stories are just rediculous, you claim to have raced a turbo bullit that when he went you then put it in first and ran him down by third, thats atleast a second head start, even if it was stock you would have a hard time doing that.

I like alot of the modulars, heck I seriously thought about getting a 96-98 and doing a PI swap with cams and all that jazz, but after watching them run (at FFW, NMRA events, local tracks etc) they have proven to not run the number especially NA. I may very well do a modular but if I do it will be a DOHC car.

You know, I take pride in myself, and my friends for the engine we have built for my car. My friends are extremely proud of it, and us also. It turned out to be alot more than we expected. Forgive me for having pride in what it is that I work so F'in hard for, and have put so much blood sweat and tears into. Yeah, that dent in the drywall of the shop is from me getting pissed at a motor mount bolt, then throwing the ratchet, then cussing everything in site...But you know what...all of our scraped knuckles, time and devotion was more than worth it. I am proud of it.
Being proud of my machine give me personally no reason to lie, or over exageratte. Lying would only detract from the feeling of accomplishment of what my friends and I have created, and are still creating..tuning...and finishing. It would only be a put down to what we have done. I am not disapointed in anyway from what I have assembled, in all honesty, it far exceeded my conservative expectations.

I know the feeling, if you have followed me over the last five years, you will know how far my car has come. When I got on here it was stock, then bolt-ons, then Gt40 heads Ecam etc. then trickflow heads cam intake etc. Then ported heads and blower and this year it is even more insane. So I know the feeling. I also know that when it had the bolt-ons that I thought it was fast (14.0X's) and my first H/C (13.2@105.5) I though the car was insane but you have to keep it in perspective. If nothing more have respect for other cars, it's a insult to mustangs to say you are beating a turbocharged bullit. I just think you tend to get carried away with your post.

Just ask anyone that knows that much...If you use the same dyno then the results are comparable....but from one dyno to the next is good for just about nothing. That is one thing that if one read between the lines good enough would even be able to pick up from magazines....
Ask the people who do it for a living..Not just racing..or building race cars, but people whom also build and tune engines for everyday people...Steve Ashworth ring a bell to anyone here??? He's as good as they get. He'll also tell you straight up without trying to sell you something.
I wonder if some of you even know how there are diffrent types of dynos...and how there results vary.

Yeah, I am not a serious racer. I plan to attend several NMRA events this year running wildstreet. I hope to have the car running quite a bit faster then last year. I am well aware of what runs and what dosn't. I have several freinds that are very serious about fast cars (several own their own shops). I have hung out with several real street racers and renegade racers and have bullshited with them. So I think I know a thing or two.
As for dyno's they should be pretty close to the same if they are the same version (mustang dyno or dynojet) and the operator knows what they are doing. Most inconsistanceys come form a poor operator.
Needless to say just step back and look at your post, hell go to corral and look at what some of those modular guys are running, hell go check out the post I am going to make about your car running 104 stock.
