So what you saw in the video was a low compression 2.0 liter missing like hell at 2 psi, so pretty much unable to rev.

My point was is someplace, somewhere there is a car that will beat B's but at the moment just a bunch talking about doing it.
I've got no room to talk I don't even have a car, but I'm also not claiming to beat him at the moment or in some distant future when whatever I'm building get done...or what ever...

B's not afraid to say anything. Yes, I was thinking Seans car was either slow or he wasn't trying for some reason, but I didn't say anything because that wouldn't be nice to tell one of your friends that his car seemed slower than I thought. I just like the competition! And like to hear that someones going to whoop my ***! That's what got my car to where it is now, Brandon kicking my *** at Bandimere and me not liking it.

Now your missing the point? And I seem to remember you saying something the other night about that vid? I know what I've done, and those that have worked on your car can claim whatever fame they want to with your car, but when it's all said and done only 2 people really built the car and other have helped along the way with misc. stuff!

Smack talking is all part of the game. It's all in fun. We all know were good friends hear so there is no need for anyone to get hurt. Right now People are Gunning for Mike just because of the simple fact that he really is the only one running half way correctly at the moment. Without some competition we would be extremly bored I think. Mike gives me something to shoot for, along with a few people in the springs. But in all reality, it's the Wifes car and she built the engine, and I'm just the talker. But my time will come soon enough.

I know of a few cars very close, and hope to have a hsot fairly soon, but right now, as far as I'm concerned, it IS the king of the street.

I'm not sure if he has turned up the boost since then or not, but he was talking about 18psi.

Ahhh, that you did, but praveen was running abour 12psi less then, and untuned. Now it sounds like it's pretty stout. So his is a car to beat at the moment as well.

now now, give my car a little credit.....maybe a couple of LS1's....but a million? I think it will take a little more than bolt ons, and a 150 shot......either that or apparently better driving! (speaking from experience.....I have whooped several!)

I don't set my self up to get beat after talking ****.....It's just easier to not talk **** and still race...if you lose oh well! Fine...you want me to talk ****....I have yet to race anyone on the street that I could not beat! Yes, I know there are some who would kick my ***....I just have not raced them. Me and Marc have already set a bet for next year. The first import race at Bandimere next year will be the date. Best 2 runs out of 3. That will allow for the 2 practice runs plus first round. The bet? Maybe $100...maybe something else.

Why do you guys even bet? Neither of you hold up either part of it anyways? I bet you have allot less missing at the moment parts reinstalled on your car (- the A/C) before SG runs an 11.anything, from a dig, roll, whatever? What do I know I'm the drunk guy that don't have a 7...nevermind...
