Who got beat?

[Mad Mike]

Found this on the NLOC board. <<<--- SORRY OLD NLOC POST. MAYBE REPOST HERE.
"Other night I ran a Syclone. Haven't seen one in years and I get a chance to race one. We were on 59 just north of 90 at a light. He was brake torquing and had that turbo spooled at the line. Light goes green, I BEAT HIM OFF THE LINE and just pulled away. Those things are AWD and I got him off the line. I was amazed. I pulled away from him pretty easily. I expected it to be a lot faster. He had 3 gauges on the A pillar. Don't know if it had anything done though. Was still nice to beat it. Stil need a damn camera mount for these impromptu races." <---yeah right :roll:

Then says: "I'm in the northwest suburbs of chicago (would have been the hoffman estates area). I'm not running drag radials, just the F1's. I think I have the launch down good though. Last year with no traction bars, I was pulling 1.86 60's on the F1's, which is decent."

Then: "Cobra, yeah on a prepped track.
When I ran the syclone, I didn't have any spin off the line, but after about 10-15 feet or so, hey were spinning just a little (I could hear them). But just raised the gas a hair, they fully grabbed and matted the gas. It was bye bye syclone. Wish I could ahve had another run with him."

Hmm...

Gonna be a Chicago truck. I can't think of anyone that lives in that area really. I'm sure there are a few trucks I don't know about though.

If he had a cracked exhaust manifold, then maybe thats why, I can speak from an encounter I had, but I didnt get raped now niether Lostr by 1 fender length.

You want me to take a pic of it for you. And the crack was there when I got here from NJ when I bought it. That run was with a chip too, which I now have and a wastegate. Still need a 3bar map sensor and maybe an alky kit. 13.04 is my goal or betterr with the same mods as you and some free ones too.

 

[GM TURBO]

It's still early for Dubb to have his truck out.

Plus, I doubt he'd get taken - although the spooling part sounds about right - but he does that at every stop light.

I seriously doubt that Dubb's truck would get taken if he was spooled. But I doubt it was him. I see trucks all the time of people that arent on the board when I drive towards the Chitown.

Really? Wasn't aware of that. You should have told me, I have manifolds from my syclone in the attic.

Mike no problem, I bought a set off a very nice man from I think from Georgia, his last name is Tripp, if your out there thank you for the manifolds. Only cost me 133 shipped and he sandblasted them clean for me. I think every SyTy owner should keep the stock parts. I will have a rematch with this L soon, he Im sure will be modded and so will I. Mod one and beyond has already started.
