Isn't it weird how the green bottle is like fire but the yellow bottle is soothing?

The green feels like 1000 small elves blowing on your balls

I was commenting out his rather flippant comment of "putting a supercharged mustang cobra in it's place.....three car lengths behind me. He didn't know any better, doubt if he will try it again."

He assumes that he now can put all Cobra's in their place when most (and I think I'm the only one not around here) of them have 550-600whp.

Sorry you got involved. Press on internet warrior
This thread was created to see what people thought of my first dyno. I understand that you decided to look through all of the pages of my cardomain site and I appreciate it. How can you state what I assume about V8s? You have never met me, talked to me, or even know me. I apologize if you got offended by the statement I made on 'my' site. I understand that there are Cobra's that make 550-600whp...and I think that's good for a V8. What I think is great is that my 4 cylinder made 516whp operating at only 60% of the turbo. Once the fuel pump upgrade is complete we're looking at 650-700whp. I could have chosen to build a V8 and made the power easy, but I chose to challenge my horsepower goals, by building a inline 4. I think it's pretty darn good for the first engine I have ever built.

So, you built the engine, or you had it built the way you wanted it?

Abacus did the machine work. They pressed the pistons in for me. I assembled the complete engine in the foyer of my house, dropped it in and fabricated the turbo piping, wiring, etc.

I challenge no one. He challenged me on the highway. He would not stop getting on my rear end. He finally pulled beside me and pointed down the road..I hesitated to run him, because at the time the car wasn't tuned..he stayed beside me...so we went...I posted the results. No, I don't have a big ego. I'm actually pretty humble, I just like horsepower, torque, and speed. I'm aspiring to be a professional drag racer, but you have to start somewhere, right? Thanks for the compliments on the dyno.

I don't see it as a challenge anymore when there are a good number of 4-cylinders making that much power now.

Not sure how many 4 bangers around here are making that much power but to beat a cobra untuned only making around 300 to 320 isn't bad. all it will take is a new fuel pump as stated before. Sorry that him making one comment on his site, not even related to the topic, got all of your pussy's hurting so bad. I tried to tell him that posting here was a bad idea b/c there are so many children on this site allways thread jacking and starting shit when people ask for help or are proud of what they've built. just think its bullshit. if he had put half the time, effort, and money into a cobra he would be shitting on the few people in the area that a 700 hp lude can't beat.

I've read this a few times and I still don't know what the hell you're talking about. He made over 500hp, not 300. And what does a 700hp Prelude have to do with anything?
