Well, let me tell you South Florida about my friend Mr. //LRD(John). As most of you know about 1.5 years ago we ran our cars against each other several times. There were four runs on I-75 going north when we both won two of the four and once on Pines Blvd, when we were neck and neck but he said that he was pulling on me?? Okay, I also have to let South Florida know that my boost controller vacuum hose had a hole in it so all I could run was 15psi which is my wastegate spring and Mr. //LRD was maxed out at 21-22psi. And all my arguement was/is to him is that me personally as a racer would not brag about being able to keep up with someone who was on their lowest setting and I'm on my highest setting, but hey that's just me..


So let's fast forward because that was in the past and now is the present! I've repaired my vacuum hose leak with my boost controller and there was one night I almost sucked the doors off of his SC on US 27, once on N.W. 199 street, and last night. Let me tell you why I had to recreate this whole thing is because after I ran a couple of cars last night on the way home Mr. //LRD and I ran twice, the first run he took off before me and I walked him down but the funniest thing is and here is where it gets great! He still argued that I took too long to walk him in, he said it took five seconds to do so? I guess he had a stopwatch ticking away while he was pushing his gas pedal thru the floor of his car cringing his teeth in anger that I'm passing him! Anyway, to rewind, his arguement to me when we ran over a year ago was that it's not his fault that I couldn't turn up my boost but last night he said that I'm lucky that his turbo is messed up? What a way to contradict yourself, huh? Anyway, I told him let's line up and leave at the same time and I'll show you what time it is? Well, we took off together at the same time and what do you think the outcome was? I smoked him but he's still talking about the five seconds it took to pass him after he took off before me and remember guys I walked him down and passed him! IMO, to walk someone down and pass them is worst than being neck and neck and then pulling away?

Anyways, as most of you guys that hang with the crew in South Florida know that it's all in fun and we love to go fast but most of us just like to win! It sure does feel good to..

So my closing statement to Mr.//LRD is that you can't win, there's always going to be a black SC with a Vertex body kit and A/C Lative rims that going to be faster than you and will continue to smack that azz!!!

And to your cheerleader(Roger) in Washington state, hurry up and get your transmission so I show you what's up too!!!!

a dbb turbo shines best in a manuel transmission car .. transient shifts becoames effortless as their is no drop off of the turbo and the 200rpm thing is alittle off for if you take terrys turbo dyno and overlay with yours you will see that terry spools about 400+ rpms sooner.

comapring your turbo tech to pte71dbb billet you are going to have a real tough fight on your hands pump for pump


i have driven in a car with journal bearing and driven in another with dbb same sized turbo and lets just say thats why i stay dbb

but to each is own car runs fast as hell but that is to be expected

you 71mm .81a/r cams running 22psi

me 67mm dbb .68 a/r uncammed running about 19psi

this equals = a$$ whopping by you to me and it still hurts to sit down

Can someone help me here I'm looking for a friend of my Jerome.You guys remember him nice humble always got a smile on his face.I just he's lost to big boost ..Jerome as long as it took me to read this .Was about how long it took you to catch me.I mean it seem like an eternity from 55-145 was when you finally pull along side and started to past .But pass you did .You might to go back to Titan and get things check out.Cause I dyno only at 560 with a good turbo.I can tell you this now that am driving on a Broken Turbo I am sure i'm no where near those dyno #'s..I don't know how that adds up.

I'll leave you guys with this Wicked SC isn't all that wicked...


Did you win or lose last night I can't tell...

We'll get another chance.

I am sure there were more runs or not!

Here some food for thought... Why hasn't Mr. Wicked and Mr. Teelex ran yet? I don't know but last I checked there at about the same power levels or 16 hp difference to be exact. That should be a good run.

but maybe i should give you lessons on humility

you have a beautiful car and it is wicked as hell but show some humbleness and be a good sport about things

there are several threads on supra forums from sound perf , from boostlogic, from ryan woon from mike from awd motorsports praising the durability and spooling characteristics of a dbb some dont think its work a extra 400 to 600 but many do , but dont pawn your idealogy of drivers error off on your beliefs on non worth which are illfounded


maybe take a drive in terrys car and feel the actual diff in the overall characteristics of his 71mm vs your journal bearing and maybe just maybe it might raise a eyebrow

no brother , you are not getting under my skin , i way too old for a junior to rattle my cage , but what does grab my attention is when humbleness is absent...

we are in this to have fun and to respect each other but some wanna take this to insane levels and things can and will get out of control real fast


i say again , titan has built you a sick ride no question about it , i was merely suggesting that the addition of a turbo like terrys would put it over the top

and on a side note terry's car could have made well over 625 on pump ask me how i know this ( psst , his tuner is my tuner and i asked him to keep it real safe for terry)

1st run I pulled him by from what it looked like 3 or 4 cars up to about 130. I think I went faster but let's just keep it at that.

2nd run I pulled him by about 2 cars at least from what it looks like. He did have to change lanes and get behind me but he had enough room to not have to slow down. We went up to around 125 mph.

He had to do 3 beeps both times so I guess he had a slight inconvenience. My horn doesn't work. The first run as soon as he hit the 3rd beep I hit it right away so that's why I pulled him by so much. The 2nd run I waited until I heard him hit it to make things more fair. Both runs I pulled on him from the beginning to the end.

Good runs man. I'm not one to talk smack about running a fellow member. It was just a fun night.

I also ran Mr. Slay in his isf. We did a 50mph roll. He pulled me by about 2.5 maybe 3 cars up to about 110mph. Good run.
