Still plan to be able to be faster than Rick with the new setup?

Rick did run a 12.69 @ 113 if I recall correctly... but that is a completely built motor with traction issues resolved as well.

And if Bill is catching up or staying close to Tom than bill can vouch who will win. Or we can just find out. But there aren't many NA honda's running around town in the 13's, I do agree with you on that.

meh, ls1s are not very intimidating at all. 3700+ lb cars ftl

all i need is an LSD and drag slicks... ive got more than enough potential for horsepower... but 12.69 is a pretty good number to try to beat

I guess some people don't understand how difficult it is to drop 1.3 seconds off their best time...

The faster you want to go, the harder it is and the more expensive it gets as well...

I'm just saying, it looks like you're talking up a big game for... from what it looks like and from what you told me the other night...

just a slightly build Z6 motor (pistons and rods, not to forget rings)
appears to be a stock Z6 head
ARP head studs
Cometic gasket ( OEM STD I'm assuming)
and still that little turbo...

I'm not trying to be a dick, but I just don't see 12 second passes with a build like that... Considering Rick has a Cam, built valve train, built drive train with LSD, larger turbo, drag radials, and somewhat of a drag suspension setup on his car...

This challenge you are approaching is not going ot be like shaving off 1 - 1.5 seconds from adding a turbo to the car...

I would like to see you succeed in this challenge honestly, but just don't get cocky. :biggrin:

not trying to be cocky here... or even serious for that matter... and i dont know how long its going to take me to finish all that i want to do with this car... this is just the first of many steps... it will be fun to see how quick it is though...
