We left around 12:15...... sorry we missed you.

 

Sorry we missed you Jaime. I definitly got a strong dose of carbon monoxide up there today. Saw some real power put down this morning. While the weather suxed pretty bad it looked like they had a pretty good turn out.
Great vids Tom. I just sat down to upload my vids but you beat me to it. Had to stop at the carwash on the south end of Decatur and blast Brenspeeds parking lot of the side of my car before it set up.
Good to meet you to Darrell. (dly) Your car laid down strong #'s today also.
I picked some delete plates from Brent today and he is updating my tuner next week. So now my one week old tune from Bama won't be anygood anymore. Brent is also tweaking the shift schedule for my auto trans similiar to what I am running from Bama. For the record Doug's tune laid down some better numbers today compare to the May dyno run. I will get the delete plates installed with Brenspeeds updated tune and switch but to the stock wheels and tires like Tom did today and put it on the dyno at Brenspeeds in the spring. Hope to see everyone there again. Here is Darrell's car on the dyno today.

Couple of others. I think the Nova was like 650 rwhp.

I'm going to guess the parachute come in handy....yikes! I didnt make it. I'll be there for spring though....hopefully over the 200 RWHP mark.

 

Scott, Darrell...... any objections to me posting the vids I took of your cars??? If not, I'll upload them later and post them tomorrow.

 

Nope. go right ahead.

 

Cool beans!

 

Well it was a great time today. I just got back from the Hospital. I had a sore back the last couple of days and though I might be passing a Kidney stone. Almost didn't come this morning. On the trip home I stopped at a car wash in Warsaw to clean the white cement (Brenspeed's parking lot) of my car and the pain started up pretty good. Got Home and my wife talked me into going to the Hospital. Well 6 hours later (waiting room), I got a 5mm stone and some very nice Vikaden pills. Got to go Monday to the Special Dr. and they will probaly put a stent in. For the people who don't know what that is, it's a tube that goes up your privates all the way to your kidney so you can pass the stone easier. Well the pills are kicking in and the computer monitor is starting to float around the room so g-night all.

Tom the video is cool by me.

Scott it was very nice meeting you and I look forward to our next time.

 

Dang Darrell get well soon.

 

I wanted to come but played weather sissy today. Those 2 holes in my hood make for a very dirty engine bay when I am caught in the rain. Scott did you pick up the used Steeda Billet plates that Brent had?

 

Best wishes Darrell. I have never personally had kidney stones but my brother has. I know how painful that can be. Get well soon.
Scott

 

Hey Ben,
No.. I just got the cheapy cast plates. (new) Never even thought to ask about that used set he had. Hope to see you in the spring. Also,
Brenspeed had a notice up that they are moving in about a year. If I remember correctly it was only 3 or 4 miles away on 18 acres. The building is going to be like 4 times the size with a paved parking lot.

 

More vids......

 

Well guys! some great vids, and congratulations Tom and Scott on your improved Dyno runs!! Just keep putting smaller lighter tires on and you will really get those runs up! Tom you going to try some 14's off a Escort in the spring!!....

 

Look who showed up again. Hey Scottie! For the record Doug's tune was 6hp and 18lbs torque better than Lidio's in the spring. Weather conditions were almost identical. Next spring it will be Brent's tune, delete plates and stock wheels. I am kinda feel'n like a tune "ho" here lately. I've tried them all. If you plan now you think you can make it in the spring? After all Darrell put off going to the hospital for a few hours so he could show up. P.S. Wouldn't it be neat if they had to put 4 straps on the back of our cars some day.
Scott

 

Oh!...Ok! your name being Scott too, you must know how being called Scottie ticks Scott's off... Maybe this Bama head thing has some validity? I was planning to get my UD pulleys on this weekend but just got my springs changed out. I must say the Saleen RaceCraft springs are friggin great! I'm done with my suspension finally Saleen springs, Tokico HP dampers, J&M Adjustable PH bar, J&M LCA reco brackets, J&M camber adjustable upper strut mounts, Steeda bump steer kit and a Steeda G spot brace! I do plan on the spring dyno day if I'm still living north of the Mason Dixon line in the Spring. As far as Darrell putting off going to the hospital, He's a Macho Man !! I'm just a scrawny little old hippie man !....

 

A real man can take being called Scottie!!! "Beam me up" You have more suspension mods than most of us combined. Shortly I will be a Brenspeed head. I'm fickle...what can I say Scottie!! My best friends call me Scottie!
Scottie!

 

I don't have any Friends, so everyone calls me Scott! So Jim Beam me up Scottie! ......I think I may hold a TMS record for after market spring changes, 3 different sets .... Good luck on the delete plate install.....

 

Macho man?!?!?! Reminds me a old "Village People" song. Feeling better as long as I'm not to far from the pill bottle .

I'm thinking the 3.6 pulley is good enough with 430rwhp and Brent told me to come back in the spring to make some adjustments to the tune. So 430 with a 18% is 507 flywheel hp. Good enough for me, unless I want to shoot for the 1000hp make like that Monte Carlo. Or I could go Tom's route, I think I have a share set of lawnmover wheels and tires I could put on to get more HP

 

So do you still have those other 2 sets of rears springs? I was think of lowering only the rear of my car over the winter. Are any of them up for sale? What brands are they?
