Well, I don't know about all this, but I tell you I have never held anything secret.

Every single time I changed something on that engine, I wrote a story about it here, to the point that I worried about boring everyone!

That page from the drag times is close to what it is now.

The car IS a dyno queen!! I will tell you.
I run big boost, I have a big, laggy turbo, I have changed the engine 1,001 times, and have spent big money! This is no big secret.

I have popped the fuel rail at 30 psi and blown a headgasket - its NOT practical for a race engine at 601 RWHP. Sometimes I have rebuilt the engine to have it last 15 minutes (yeah, really) because I did something new (like too much water, or something).
I have tried 40% aromatic with a 7 heat range plug and been stuck, I have seen "cold" flash across my #4 on the 4xEGT soo many times, it would make your head spin. The car is a huuuge pain in the ***, but

I will tell you as God as my witness... on the 25% time when its right,its worth it.
I have DESTROYRED cars/bikes on the highway that you wouldn't believe.
I have also sent up a Kimi Raikonnen smoke show racing an AMG...

I had a guy in jacked Supra tell me, "that MF is baad" and I remember a 944 NA beep at me broken down on the highway as he passed.

The best hardware I had on the car came from Dave, John and Tim.

I am going to the fest again this year, and I will run 40 psi, if you want to see it.
I don't yet know what turbo will be on the car - that is the truth, but it will be big. I will have the highest octane fuel that I can possibly find, I am sure it will be unreasonable....way above 116. There will be 3-4 gallons of oil running through a WARMED UP (this year) dry sump oil system, and the exhaust will travel less than 1.5 feet after it leaves the turbine housing.

Come on out and BS with me - I love shootin the sht with gearheads.



Ps...Dave you *** is mine.

All I see is words. Talk is cheap. Not only will I beat you on the dyno, I will armwrestle you for pink slips.. When I win your car, I will take a crap on it and send it to Lart, free of charge.(no offense, of course)

You won't be able to comprehend the car that I bring. It will be much more than a t67, p-trim, 1976 turbo, running 40psi...

Its on Mother f'er, and I don't mean that in a bad way.

ps - Let me know how much beer your bringing so we don't run out.

Spoken like the true gentleman some have made you out to be, I look forward to seeing you there, and I look forward to the fireworks should it be a 75% day.... 40Psi, good lord, at least when your fuel lines gunk up it is because of the AVGAS + xylene eating at the rubber (teflon) liner and not the crappy 7-11 fuel....

Should be a good show... more power too you, I'll be watching

WTH? now you want to blow the tool?

Okay, here is my prediction, tool will show up at the fest and put down no more than 420rwhp and make up another extraordifreakingnary bull**** story, llike the last time. "I just wanted to dyno with pump gas" hey dude my hero tonyG did that many years ago, so why don't you humble yourself and admit that tonyG is D'man.
