ok guys and gals if there is gals?! anyways, i'm in the military
and attached to shore facilty called a compressor shop i build
lp and hp compressors and one of my shop mates has a 89 saleen
nice looking car and its got a 302 with x pipe, 3.55 gears, t-5,
x-cam world heads 10.1 comp 68mm tb, cobra intake etc...
well this guy has been giving me so much sh*t telling me that my car ain't worth crap and its a v6. this and that and goes on...
so i decided to take it to the track one friday night and look who shows up him. i said sh*t here we go again. i ran and ran terrible
best time was 9.8 at 76.99 mph on the 1/8 with 2.8 60 ft, with crack passenger header and crack and 1/4 inch hole on driver side header! and 12.5 # off boost. he ran 8.8 and 80 something mph. well that shows to him that my car ain't sh*t. weeks went by taking crap from him everyday
i started dumping money on my car
but not much . i got rid of my stock headers bought postons,fuel reg,adjustable waste gate, open up waste gate hole .900, duttweiler neck, injectors, scanmaster,thdp, Neil Steward street chip 91 oct at 19* timing. then more weeks went by and i was going home strollin to the light just me then i here this thunder man i look over and i see him with a smile light turns green and we punch it in the same time (i have it set at 12#) i stay with him throu 1st, 2nd i pulled a door away, and third he inched me top end kicked in on him and that was that. went home pretty *&^%#! you know what i mean. but he only beat me a fender away. i get home and i get a phone call and it was him, he said your car is pretty fast with a chuckle! actually he thought he'd get me better than just a few feet away. and he asked you wanna go again i said sure we meet at this open place.
where there's no one around i do some final checking on the car and adjust boost to 15#
we line up heat the tires and on three we go came of the line with 0 boost because i give it even 1 # it goes up in smoke! 1st side by side end off 1st i pull a car, 2nd i pull 3 cars and third all he saw was my sticker GOT BOOST?
we stop and he starts yelling bull this and that! and i gave him 2 more tries and same thing so he finally gave up and he asked what i did and said o fixed some problems and turned up the boost. now he don't talk no sh*t and is looking to trade he's saleen (#038) for a gn or sell for 6000. engine alone is that! trust me cause i builded the engine best time on the car with saleen suspension 13.4 in the 1/4 and for mine don't know yet? we'll see!?
looking for low 13's or maybe 12's i just bought some slicks and air bag!
