Default It's on this year!

Well it's almost time to go racing. The guys I work with have really upped their game this year. I have a buddy with an 03 BMW M3. He raced me last yearwith mild mods and I killed him. He went 13.6.Well this year, He's bolting on a Vortech style supercharger running at 7.5 PSI. He's also added full exhaust, performance clutchand a tune to go with full suspension mods he made the year before. I expectvery low12's for him he expects mid 11's so we'll see.

A second guy at work just added a Magna charger to his 05 GTO running 6 PSI. He has made exhaust mods, performance tune and a performance clutchand installed a 50 shot as back up. He took it to the track for the first time last fridayand the best he could run was a 12.7 @ 113 on Nitto DRs. (Another first time at the track horror story)He let me drive the car on a back road yesterday and I'd say the car has high to mid 11 potental.

A third guy just bought an 08 Corvette Z06! Nuff said about that but he's a much older guy that has never raced in his life before but he says he'd be up for a run or two

Right now I'm sitting on the stage 3 with bolt ons and the best I could manage was a 11.88 @ 118 last year or slicks. I'm thinking as soon as my tax return shows up and I can get the bigger turbo and fuel mods I should be low to mid 11s but right now if we all go racing it should be battle royal. I'd think I have the driver mod all over these guys because the guy with the GTO and the M3 have both been to the track only once. But once they figure out what their doing I'm hoping that UPS truck shows up with that new turbo!.

How far are you from E-town ( I know ur near ATCO) I'll be at E-town on April 10th for a rental and Atco May 20th for a rental if your around and not working and feel like killing some time. Not sure if we could get u in on the May date but if ur near it be cool to meet.

Damn those all sound like some pretty impressive cars. My "to-race" list consists of some guy with a GT28 on an A4 and a B16 with an Ebay Turbo. No where near as impressive lol but at least I'm guaranteed to win at the strip

No money involved. Everyone is broke from modding their cars. It's just their tired of listening to me talk sh*t.

With all involved we should be able to get every race from a few different angles. We'll probably have to run at Cecil county raceway because all the other guys are located in Delaware. I'm in jersey. Cecil sucks compared to Atco. My home town track.

How much power are u expecting to see from the 50trim and 750cc injectors? I aslo expecting to get installed next week fuel return line, fuel regulator, mboost controoler and a safc II.
