Thanks BunnyIS.
I'm sorry, but I don't rember who you are from the meet.
Hey FortuneSC I'm not the owner of Checkerflag lightning. I manager a store here, and went to Iowa to help in the opening of that store.
I wanted to share a couple of kills I had the other day with you guys. I was driving down Golf rd when a new GTO pulled up next to me. I wasn't paying attention and just thought it was a Grand Prix. He hit it at about 30MPH and took off, so I bit, and went after him, I caught up, and slowly proceded to pass him by. (He didn't like that very much)
so we then get lined up at the next light. the light turned green, and I took him off the line just by a little bit, and then the tires started spinning. I had to lift twice. Then the tires grabed. at 80MPH I had about 3 cars on him. (He really didn't like that!! he followed me around with his brites on for about 2-3 block)
I also had a run on 53 with a G35. That car was pretty fast, but not as fast as he needed to be. I slowly pulled away from him until about 140 then we decided to call it. I did get a thumbs up as I let him by.

Happy Holidays to everyone!!!

I keep changing my mind, and adding things.
my car will probably never be done, but the complete TT setup is, and is driven every day. Currently chris is working on a couple of trans Ideas, and additional fuel, but this is for additional HP.
We made 370 RWHP with this set up, and a Fuel pressure regulator.
all the kills and dyno results are ar 7-8PSI my motor also had 160K on it.
