    This was back in september. There's a local that takes pictures and sells them to racers there. These are on his site. This is the first race after the XP cam swap and the last of the season. Went 12.93 at 106. Has more in it. Needs smaller pulley. This was on a 3.2 pulley and 23 degrees of timing.

    a friend of mine got busted back in the day drag racing his car by his parents.all because of the photographer. they take the pic if you buy them or not.

    they own the pics at the end of the day. it was done by raceway park englishtown NJ. any way he always told his parents, no i dont race my car lie after lie year after year (even tho hes got a 10 second camaro) he gets this launch that twists the car and yanks the one wheel 2 feet In the air, guy got it on film.

    pic was so good it made the cover of the event book they send you. so his mom gets the mail, and she sees his car, and him even though the helmet. he lies says thats not my car, she breaks out the magnifying glass and says thats your plate right? busted.

    No they're easier. Starting with Gen V blower. That run was on 3.2, SSIC, XP cam, Pacesetter headers, GXP exhaust. Other trivial stuff like 255lph pump and 42 pound injectors, etc. Timing was MAXED on that run at 23 degrees. It really needs a smaller pulley. I kept raising shift points and it kept getting faster until I popped an axle boot off on the launch so I packed it up.

    I may say rude things but learn to take a joke. The internet is funny when you can laugh.
