you know, fish has owned multiple 3800s that have failed to impress a single person.

not a fuck was given :io:

You mad bro? Its funny you have turned into me, yet complained about me in the past. :nutz:

Also FWIW, Taking a NA into the 14s, and a pulley, DP car into the 13s, yet everyone says you need a cam/IC/spray/a prayer to do it. Unimpressive. :io:

And you are right, not a fuck was given, and that is fine with me. I never blowed one up, nor ran UNimpressive times for what they had. Like other people that post on here.

11's around the corner :noes:

For sure. As much as some of you are thinking I am thread crapping, I WANT to see fast times.

Think about it this way Kev. This thing is breaking running 12s. Stop playing safe, turn it up, run 11s. You are already used to it breaking anyway. This way, it breaks, you have an 11 second slip, everyone :nutz: , James has more fun tearing it apart for the 5th time. Everyone wins.

i still weigh more than hk, car had 5/8ths of a tank vs 1/4
and i trapped faster, 1/8ths faster, and ran .07 slower in the 1/4 than hk :fy:


the run i dun broke launched good enough it woulda at least been an 11.9x :fu:
oh some particulars 16psi 18* wot 14psi in the slicks

btw i cranked in 3/4 turn of toe on each side for what ammounts to about 1-2* of toe in (static)...car no longer wanders all over when flooring it and the inside of the slicks is no longer scrubbing...though it didnt like it on the highway on the way home on his beatup street tires...prob back out a 1/4turn each side and see if it tracks nice at wot.

:hahano:

im glad i spent the time cranking in additiona toe....its far easier to pay attention to what that fat bitch is doing when you dont have to fight tooth and nail to keep it straight.

pass axle shaft is like 3 inches too short and walked outta the diff where i sheared off a majority of the splines (almost exactly what TG had happen sometime in tha last year or so) i was almost able to pull the axle tulip outta the trans with the outter axle installed i got the splines to line up with the diff and beat the tulip back into the diff to get it home
srivers side was walking out too and both inner boots/clamps blew apart when the axles touched the subframe -drivers side has a gouge from the clamp on the alum subframe, pass side may have come off when it poped out.

no one gives a shit what people did in 1994, cars are slow now. But I agree, HK needs two bottles the big ones.

Lots of people give a shit about 1994. However, I don't think my comment happened then, or really has any relevance to what you or d think. It was more or less a way to light a fire under James's ass to bust the 11s door down.

However, feel free to keep taking "shots" at me and not uploading meet pics. :rofl:

Just to get it out there, james took the car to GLD on sunday, I was not able to attend so I figured why not let the now running car stretch its legs

Idk if there was much track prep, and I'm sure there was a reason why james didnt up the psi... im just glad it trapped even faster with the same 60 with the couple extra * of timing
