Re: new project
Konig Rewinds are the best bang for the buck. $500 for watanabe knockoffs. Not sure of the fitaments, but it's worth a search if you like that style wheel.

Unless you were building the motor for boost and had a turbo on there then there is no way in hell I would race you for $$ because there is a significant chance that I would loose even at the HP level that I should have in a few months just because I may have problems with traction and my cars weight. And if your car was turboed with a built motor and you got it to hook then you could have a very fast car.
Nobody is saying you cant get a probe in the 11's-12's. People are saying (and I am saying) that it would be very difficult to do so on all motor and juice. I am not going to argue this...just trying to say my point here. I just dont seeing it happening without a turbo...I dunno maybe I dont know something that you do but I cant see it.

who the hell said I wasnt boosted?? and when did I say the motor was not built?? lol
people assume about my car too much lol.
and a car does not HAVE to be boosted to be fast. many many cars are built around spray, and nitrous can be just as fast. on just spray I have walked many many turbo cars

Re: new project
Also, some systems accuracy depends on its ability to cool the exhaust and remove any water in the exhaust. It may have had a hard time due to the extra heat of being upstream.
