A couple months back...when I was all stock at 13lbs, and before I had my Czarnota built V6, Alkycontrol, Hooker cat back, Duttweiler neck, and TRC cold Air kit (love that sound) and my 3000 stall converter, ...you'll recall I tried my luck against one of these and got spanked. As I should have....
Well...I found another one.
I baited him by spooling and then letting off so he could hear the boost dump through the TRC. From there, we both kinda politely made our way to the front row of the long straight the lane road we were on. He was in the outside lane, I was in the inside and there was one car directly in front of me and one next to me in the middle lane. He had no one and was waiting for me to get an opening.
As soon as I had my hole, I started to move to the middle lane and he was about a length back...we were at about 35mph. That was when I heard him get on it. He was passing me when I got on it but that came to a stop as soon as my boost was up. As soon as I started to pull him (about 70 mph), he got out of it....not willing to be shown up any further by this grocery getter.:biggrin:
It was good to be the king.
My first official test with this Czarnota built V6 = WIN!
Further up the road, we were next to each other at a red light and I figured he'd want a rematch, so when the light went green I rolled into it and floored it (avoiding as much tire spin as possible)....
Already humbled...he wanted nothing of it.:biggrin:
I'm still sporting a stock turbo, stock down pipe and my tired original tranny is slipping a little too. Can't wait to take care of that business. I'm also only running 17lbs of boost. I'm keeping the boost down until after I replace the tranny.:biggrin: After the tranny...it's downpipe and turbo time.
