yeah I keep wondering whether to tub it and run a full slick or just something like some 335 ets ... I always been of the opinion that if it doesnt do it on the street.... it doesnt do it (but I dont condone street racing and being a dumba$$)

"If it doesn't do it on the street it doesn't do it"? What kind of crap is that? So much for track cars then I guess.

LOL @ about 5 pages back from last night at calling Alex's 460 a "googled" pic. Because V6 enthusiests can't own V8s right? Better not post pics of my 351 then.


As for the M112 V6 set up.... Derrick was right, we did it for the budget racer. For $2800, we can make a stock V6 put down double the stock hp/tq. I don't care what you drive, that is impressive for the money. Last car I was there for a tune was Richard, who put down 330 rwhp with 7psi. Other than the blower set up, his only motor mod is a mild cam. It works well for people looking for bigger power as well.
Originially I was making an M112 set up just for me. I needed to gain ground in the low to mid range tq department, since that is where I was losing races. I never dreamed it would turn into something people wanted. At one point my car made enogh power to stretch my ARP head studs.


So is there gonna be a race, or are people backing out?

What pulley set up are you going with? I was running a 2.8" blower and a custom made 10% over drive crank pulley.

No you don't. I broke too much stuff, and it was a pain in the butt to get it done right. I put it in the trash so I wouldn't ever have to see it again.

I want to know if there will be a race or not. Oh,Alex's 460 is not a google pic. If you look at his sig, and look at the pic, the paint on the cars match, I highly doubt that someone would go to that amount of detail for this.
