Hey congrats to both you guys for making it out there. Do you know if they will show your cars on the show?

I looked for you guys at Atco but when I saw Jim, he mentioned you were at pinks. Glad to see more rotary guys on the east coast running their cars at the track!

Actually guys only making 430-450 are running 10s so my run is not impressive at all. I'm sure Ernie is going into the 9s easily when he gets used to the new setup. THere are a lot of factors at play when you are making that kinda HP.

What's impressive is driving to the Maryland BBQ, dynoeing and putting down 704HP and then driving home!!!

EDIT: (Please dont delete my post, im just asking a question)

EDIT 2: (Please dont ban me cuz I put the first edit about deleting my post, again its just a question, you should be in the 9's with all that power)

That's true. Another impressive feat would be Brian (Novi357 - with the black Procharged Mustang) who drove his car to MIR, put down a 9.35@150 and drove home. And just a few weeks ago, hitting the wall when his wheel studs broke and he lost a wheel - and he threw some replacement studs in there and drove home from MIR that day too!

just the tail shaft in the trans was Cryo'd. from the looks of it the trans moved 1/4-1/2 in and the drive shaft walked down the splines. hopefully a-spec's brace will cure any of that since it mounted right @ the tail shaft.

also i hear anthony has a clutch that will make my problems go away lol

the inner cv, well that prob had about 95k miles on it.... was expected @ some point

anyone got a extra FD trans laying around?

No Ramy, not ignoring. Sorry. No, I've not considered it since people like Ari cut high 1.3's with the same setup I have. I just have to keep adjusting it. Trial and error. But thanks for the input.

Oh I feel ya Ernie. I know it's kind of a "cheat" but it works VERY well. I'm one of those guys who likes to replace the need for excessive skill w/ technology when available lol. Like I said, sounds like cheating, but it gives ya consistency IMO
