Re: BTW,
Yeah sure, Billy, blame it on the UD's. If I had your mufflers and gear set.....
:lol:
The idea was to go out and have some fun and that's exactly what we did. And, before anybody asks, yes, indeed, I would have liked to best Billy's times but I am not unhappy with where I came out.
If you guys want more important information, ask me about how great Billy's exhaust sounded. I have probably heard as many MM's as anyone around here and I gotta tell you his car sounds great. I may try his muffler set up to see what it does on my car.

Hey Marty,
that's a real good point there. I honestly forgot completely about the gear ratio difference. But I guess that's because I have been grilled so much by several members of this board in the past about how installing 4.56 gears was a mistake, and how that ratio would actually hurt my ET's and my trap speed.
And that's also a very good point about your mufflers. Now we're getting somewhere. What mufflers do you have anyway?

Re: Re: Hey Marty,
LOL.....I kinda thought that now that you've been DETHRONED
Seriously though.........I didn't realize that you still had the stock mufflers. My bad.......Why did you opt for the Reinhart upgrade if you decided to stay w/those mufflers. my guess is that those muffs are now the weak link in your exhaust. No?
I think what we should do to make this really interesting is this:
I get the U/D pulley set, and you get the 18" magnaflows since you said that you like the way my car sounds anyway. And then we both go back to the track, and then to that Dyno that you and I talked about. And while you're here in Connecticut for the Dyno, you and I can also do some target shooting that we talked about.

Hey, coming from a senior board member like yourself, I'm honored....Thanks Todd.....but something tells me that w/Marty right behind me breathing fire down the back of my neck, I'm going to have to put in some overtime hours at work to be able to afford to stay on top.
aaaahhhhhh....it's soooooo lonely at the top.....

Overtime
Billy,
Instead of working overtime, get a side job like I did at Burger King! Here, check out my video resume..... http://load.pquinn.com/binaries/fries/

Re: Re: Re: Overtime
uh ho, sounds like Marty may be puling out some heavy artillary against me next time at the track..........that's it! It's time for me to mount that 50cal rifle on my hood. If I see his car in front of me, then his engine block is history........

Thanks Kurly
that ET was acheived in very cool weather (38 degrees) so you have to take that into account. However to put this all into perspective, Marty who was w/me, ran a very impressive 13.58 ET, and hasn't done anything to his car since he ran a 13.7 ET in 70 degree weather. So by that my conclusion is that in 70 degree weather, I too would be running 13.7's also whereas the last time that I went to the track(which was in 70 degree temperatures) I ran a 14.4 ET @ 94MPH And that was BEFORE the Kook's header installation..
So I'm still very happy about that.
