Is that why I launched the car twice when I was there, one of which might have been recorded by Bees friend? Makes sense....

Just bring it one day before you get rid of it.

Correct, you did leave after we ate. The majority of us went to the UNC campus (IIRC) to take pictures afterwards. This is a pointless argument though...

Since you dont want to drive far, find a 1/4 mile track near you. If I beat you, you pay for my gas there and back. If I lose, then I lose. I think thats fair since you want me to drive 4+hrs just so you can compare cars.

You guys are too funny. All jokes aside we should all try to get together one day and meet at a track. That would be fun as hell having a bunch of cl's running together.

So since your using the 08tls cams what other set of cams do you have richardparker?

Not using them because I need more compression.
And I'm not sure if I want to shave the heads yet.
I don't want to put it into a full rebuild since pistons might need work for clearance.
I might have 4400miles or so on the build now.

The cams have more aggessive specs than the level 2's

That's too far for me unless I was to take a vacation or something.

Somebody make a poll with differnt tracks/organize something for the spring where we could get a good group of cars together.

Another 15lbs out of the car so far today.


It's so post to be 63-64 degrees in NC this week end. Perfect weather . I'm sure it would be a bit more cold in NJ.

Ohio seems to be the medium. I'm sure we can all make a 9+ hour trip to make it fair for everyone. Anyone?

Lets meet somewhere centralized...like a 3 hour drive for everyone. Hell, ill do 4 hours. Central Pennsylvania it is!

On a side note, the last time I went to Virginia (this july) I was caught in storm covering 120mph in a straight line while on my way to the East Coast Honda Meet....you guys remember that? GAWD DAYUMMM i didnt think id live to tell the tale. I mostly outran the bitch, but my car was covered in tree sap from route 65.

That would work for me. I would bring my cams so you could take a look at them.


3-4 hours would work for me too .
9hours would kill me stripped ,loud exhaust and no tunes.

I understand. I drove from South FL to VA for 17 hours without tunes...

I'm going to create a thread so we can all BS and chat there and discuss more about this drag strip meet. Don't want to clutter Rich's thread.

I say we meet at Virginia Motorsports Park, Maryland International Raceway, Richmond Dragway, Atco, or Englishtown. Any of those tracks would be good since were all on the east coast. I'll chime in the new thread lol.

I don't mind driving that distance/time as long as more people show up.

It could be like a semi-national meet. Chime in on the other thread.

^ 25.5" wouldn't be too bad considering you have the 3.7 torque. You may be better off, unless of course you can find a 24.5" wheel/tire combo with wide tires (245+). That would be ideal. Motets Traklites are super light as are RPF1s. 16x8(+) would be best IMO, unless you have by breaks and can't fit 16s.

Btw great run. 8.5x is very impressive as is 86mph. Currently I'd guess your car is good for 13.0-13.1. A perfect run with a 2.0x 60' should net you a 12.x. Congrats on running a new PB. What size are your wheels/tires now?

Wheels now are:

Front wheels 20lb 18's
Front tires 25lb 245/40/18 nitto nt05

Rear wheels 20lbs 18's
Rear tires 22lbs 215/40/18 kumho solus

There is weight to shed here and with the right tire it could lead to a statement for the N/A guys.

You know I will be trying to remove some more weight before next weekend

You think you can fit a 275 front tire without fender work? My 255's barely fit and don't even have proper suspension clearance.
