HEHE, 70/30 if I am in the car.

I cannot drive to save my life.

You say this:

How could anyone argue this?

If you would like to argue, put me in your car and see what happens

Mike Huml

I've blown the launch and trapped 126mph on mid 13 second passes. I've missed gears (happend twice at the shootout alone) and ran mid 12's at 126. I've nailed the launch and all the gears and ran 11.5 at 126mph. My mph is idictive of how the motor is running and the MPH is indicitive of how good the car is hooking up. Your dyno has gotten me close but with good datalogging I've fine tuned for even more power.

I am just a real big fan of real air moving over a real car moving down a real track. That doesen't mean we can't use cool tools to amplify a problem we are having so as to better tune it out.

And yes, I firmly believe that you could trap 126 in my car. I have this brick wall however at 130 that I can't seem to break on the stock motor and cams. I mean its only been my goal for, what a year. Anyways I'm going to be at BSD this saturday weather permitting. Its 130mph or I'm going home on a trailer with a broke motor.

I will be freezing my *** off fishing at Raystown this weekend, I will take you up on your offer however. No way I can run the MPH you did. Remember, I owned a FWD with about 100 more WHP than your car on slicks, and could not run better than 128 MPH

Are we betting beer?

Mike you should stop down if you have a way. 10am to 4pm test and tune at BSD. Beer is always in the equation.

steelcityevo8, yes I'm from altoona and post everywhere.

GNV Motorsports, Pittsburgh is my second home. If you have a meet when I'm in town I'll be their.
