Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph

Everyone should stop Crying about this. I dont see one person thats talking on here Except Cher, and Shane that has seen 130 in the 1/4. Go get your cars and run 130mph traps then talk. I dont see why everyone is putting Chris down for having a fast car. It is a fast car hands down. If none of you really believe me. Then race him. I'm sure hes down for it.

Chris, nice job on the car, I like that you have raced just about anyone who has asked. I don't doubt your car will run a ten sometime soon.

Chris is one of the nicest DSMers I have met. I'm sure he is happy to have his car running and the fact that he is knocking on the door to a 10 second run. Be patient. Not everyone has the funds or time to throw together a complete setup right away and make 600hp+, 500hp+ is nothing to sneeze at, 11.3 at 130 with a bad launch is not too shabby either.

Chris I'm glad to see your car on the street, keep that car running and racing, there isn't shit for DSMS on the streets around here right now you are the quickest one.

Jim

No crying here. Just stating what I noticed. Trap speed is more of a function of power versus anything else. Thats why I said it sounded flat when I heard it, and its probably making mid-low 500ish whp.
I know its a fast car, I remember when we made something like 434awhp at 4500rpm on rs motors dyno, around 20-25psi (I don't remember the figures exactly, but it was around that hp at around that psi, so that car has much potential). So how about you untwist your panties kevin?
I don't think one person on this board is ripping on him. It'll haul out, thats for sure, just a matter of time.

All I was saying is that Chris's car is fast, and to me it seemed like everyone was saying its not making the power it should. The car hasnt been on the dyno since a week before the Shoot out. A lot has happen since then and it needs to get back up on the dyno but, thats up to chris and when he can get it up here for it. I was imperssed with the 5th run down the track running a 11.3@130. I could only dream of going that fast as of right now in my car(which isnt running either like everyone elses almost). Sorry I was kinda in a bad mood yesterday when i wrote that I've been having a rough week. Sorry if I offended anyone I didnt intend to.

Kevin.... under Chers name again
