Whoever named him did a poor job imo.

 

Hey now I was little, once.



Runt

 

That is one of the best posts I've ever read. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you said. That is the spirit of what sharing information and posting should be about. That one post inspires me even more.

dhammans, I wish I had known who you were, but now, I've lowered my expectations since you tried to loan me a "lame" pressure gauge. Good to meet you. You were one of the FP gang I was talking about when I made my post of 'being with the FP crew made it fun'.

Wish you would have stopped and said hello, but I understand why not. I do talk a lot. Worst than my novels, I know. Thanks for posting the link to the video.

Thanks for the help Runt. The car is already beginning it's new journey to the next level. Parts are ordered and the car has been delilvered to a race shop where the engilne is probably already out of it and tomorrow, we'll be going through it, piece by piece. As soon as the new parts arrive, the engine will be built and we'll be back up and racing in no time.

 

That is crazy. I would love to get a good tune by 9sec9 after my cams are in. Can not wait to upgrade my turbo after i get back from deployment!!!

Great job guys

 

Evo Merle, what turbo are you thinking about? As you might guess, I'm really loving the FP Black. The benefit of this turbo over the others we've tested is the ability to stay in spool easier. "Shoeing" this one makes recovery time much shorter but very little difference vs most of the 35 series turbos when it comes to useable range power. I honestly can't see anyone being disappointed with it's power delivery. Good luck with your deployment and a safe return home.

 

Red or Black......I am installing the GSC S2 soon W/ dual titanium spring and retainer. But I would really love to get the Black and 1000cc injectors and the rest of the suporting mods.... Just depends on how much is left in the bank when I get home!

 

Congrats on the passes. Must be great being back in the car. Sorry about the failure too. But thats racing. At least you guys are having fun and enjoying the time together. I wish I could get my Dad to be as enthusiastic let alone be the driving force behind the car. Good luck next year and most important keep it fun...

 

Once you go black...

Seriously though, Tom your car as I saw it on Saturday was beautiful. Looking forward to seeing how you raise the bar on the new build.

 

Thanks Brian. Good luck to you and your family aswell. Hopefully one day you and Austin can enjoy the track together too.

 

Glad I got to hang out with you guys this weekend and see the passes, not glad I saw the motor go poof though Sounds like you guys are already well on your way to having it back up and running in no time!

I've got some pictures from IFO I'll try and get posted up tonight and I know Dan also has some from his camera on Saturday. I'm sure we got some good shots of the car, I'll have to update the website now!

Can't wait to see you guys back out at the track again soon!

 

Thanks Amber. We anjoyed it aswell. I was hoping you all snapped some good pictures I could steal.

 

Nice job guys. Wish I could have made it out and watched a few of the passes.

 

Heres the breakdown on the 9.53 pass.

60': 1.56
330': 4.122
1/8th: 6.226
1/8th mph: 116.57
1000': 8.026
1/4 et: 9.537
1/4 mph: 148.43

best mph: 149.58

 

Wow...there is most definitely more left in her...

LOTS by the 60' alone. It's Amazing to think this turbo might hold a 8.9xx in it on Kill mode.

Good luck with the new build.. and Tony your one lucky guy to have such a KOOL dad.

 

Wow! Congrats Tom and Tony on the New Record! Sorry to here about your engine failure. Its all part of the game when you doing big things! Keep pushin!
