My bad Mike, not implying you're slow. Just saying it dosent take much to get an LS1 turning out some fast times.

I hear you...and your right....but you forgot the most important mod to run a fast time.....Mickey Thompson Street ET's! Other wise....they will still be spinning at the 60ft mark by the time I pass 1/8 mile.

You don't run slicks? I don't think ET streets would do any good on my car.

Yes I run slicks at bandimere? ET streets or BFG drag radials have got me a 1.63 and a 1.65 60 ft. Otherwise I'm a 2.0 without.

I am keeping the car so hopefully I can have it on the dyno after the holidays. Highest HP FD in CO? That would be cool.

Talking

Can't call your car a FD anymore! You better compare your car to the domestics. Cheater!

Let's see, what does it say on my door jam?

You can have the Highest HP Rotary FD and I will have the Highest HP FD! Then we can run them to see who has the fastest FD in CO.

Hopefully this one will be my slower fast car next year if all things work as well as they have the last two weeks.

And I'm sure if you called your insurance, they would think it's a 1.3 liter TT rotary, not a 5.7 liter pushrod.

So what everyone is saying that an FD only came with a rotary engine? Anybody out there got a sticker for a Supra I can put in my truck?

I personally believe using a small block chevy in anything but a chevy is cheating. Growing up around cars in Texas "just drop a small block" was the words of every car guy. It didn't matter what car you had. Honda Civic? Geo Metro? Supra? Rx7? Ford Mustang?

Sorry, but i won't associate with those rednecks.

Had to provide proof of what is in the car via pictures and keep the receipts of how much I paid for everything.

Are they going to replace it if it's stolen? Was it a PITA to set that up? My insurance company has no clue what's in my 240. Which is good and bad.
