[Jeremy94GT]

sweet

[Boostdz]

BADASS!!!

[Good Doctor]

how's tech gonna work, i want to run my beater.

[redSS]

I'll run tech its fine :)

[DeadPedal]

tech?? what's that? lol

at any rate it's US 41, as long as your beater doesn't run a sub 12 second pass, you'll be fine.

[supr87gt]

tech?? what's that? lol

at any rate it's US 41, as long as your beater doesn't run a sub 12 second pass, you'll be fine.


what if it does? will i need a ds loop?

[Cool Hand]

i would guess no. But who konws? They said tech is left to the guys there. Mainly common sense stuff. its not sanctioned or anythign.

[BdN]

I'd be interested...may 1 is a saturday right? I'm a member tho still if I paid my 5 bucks at the beginning of the club ? :confused:

[Ikestaa]

That's $5 per semester.

[BdN]

Can I pay 5 bucks and save myself 5 bucks? ;)

[kremer82]

[Boostdz]

Justin's old man may be bring the dragster up.........on a second note...it just fired up today on alcohol..and I can't hear anymore :D

[Curt]

Just found out a friend of mines moving to the lebanon area while his wife goes to purdue....He's bringing up his 1200HP monster :) But it'll still be in Cali for the track day.... And for WFC, since it's a LONG tow up here with his other Turbo'd lightning

[sedanman]

Just found out a friend of mines moving to the lebanon area while his wife goes to purdue

A freind? I thought you just meet him in a parking garage the other day?

[Curt]

I've been talking to the guy online and over the phone since before I was at purdue..

[supr87gt]

I've been talking to the guy online and over the phone since before I was at purdue..


Wow!!! You've got 557 posts...Isnt that the amount of cubes its gonna take to spot me 4 and bust my ass? :shock: :D :twisted:

[Curt]

LOL!! I was waiting for someone to notice that

[Chappy]

I've been talking to the guy online and over the phone since before I was at purdue..

So you found him online on some dating service or something? ;)

[supr87gt]

ROFLMAO :clap:

Just a reminder. This is a week from saturday. Better be wrenching guys. Oh ya, i need money. If you cant get it to me in person mail it to

Luke clark
3298 hopkins ct
west lafayette in, 47906

Make checks payable to Purdue Automotive Performance Association.

[Curt]

I won't be attending..

[MBPEJ20]

I'm gonna try to get all the WRXers to go

[Stil2stock]

I'm in - i'll try to remember to pay you at the GP show if thats cool luke

[Stil2stock]

something was just brought to my attention - it costs 15 bucks to do this if you're a member and 25 if youre not, and 5 to join PAPA....wont people just try to pay the 5 dollar dues then the 15 to race? we'll end up with a lot of people joining just to race; like people trying to join just to park on the memorial lawn during the callout. :doh:

[myjadeZXT]

Read the consitution. You have to do a lot more than pay $5 to join the club, plus the whole club has to vote on you at a meeting. It's not that easy.

[DeadPedal]

Read the consitution. You have to do a lot more than pay $5 to join the club, plus the whole club has to vote on you at a meeting. It's not that easy.

yep, remember at the begining of the semester when we changed it? this is exactly why.

[Cool Hand]

This is a reminder that this event is by INVITATION ONLY ! If you have not personally been invited by an active member, you will be denied entry. This is a closed gate event. PAPA only.

This is a rumor that a group of uninvited "guests" are going to show up and school us at our track day. This will not happen, because if i dont have your name on a list, you wont be entering. End of story.

[camaro28]

I won't be attending..

scared of gettin shown up by a lil bitty 207 C.I. gm car??

[Chappy]

I won't be attending..

You have to cancel the event now, the god of all cars will not be attending. He won't be there to assist with drag racing techniques, how to set up cars for the strip (since he's build many 9 sec cars himself), now it is pointless to go as everyone that is going to be there is stupid and never been to a drag strip and driving a somewhat fast car down the strip (as nothing is faster then his high 14 sec lightning).

[Curt]

Hey Chappy, wanna run a Lightning?

[Chappy]

Hey Chappy, wanna run a Lightning?

Is it yours? Sure, and I'll give you lets say a 3 sec head start...

You know I could give two shits if you know I guy on some message board that has a Lightning that is faster then my car. One thing you need to learn is that there will always be someone out there faster then you. I probably saw a Lighting this past weekend down here in Indy that would give your buddies Lightning a run for his money. Do I go around trying to set up races with a buddies car because mine is too slow to win the race, no... why, cus it's retarded.

[Curt]

Hey tough guy.. I just know a guy around here that wants to run a good running mustang..

No reason to be big bad and tough, just a simple question....

[Nico]

hmm.. just read that..

one question.. when did you guys become a fraternity??

[DeadPedal]

when we had lots of people that showed up and bitched on the board and came to like 2 events all year, and never was around to hang out/wrench the rest of the time.

[Chappy]

Hey tough guy.. I just know a guy around here that wants to run a good running mustang..

No reason to be big bad and tough, just a simple question....

Well since every other time you've mentioned something like that on this board, you always talk about a buddy on some message board that you've never met in person could beat my ass, I assumed this would be no different... hense my response. I'm not running anyone this weekend, but any time he wants to meet at IRP and run I'm up for that, or maybe some weekend he can come down and play with some mustangs.

BTW - I thought my response was actually pretty nice. I could have worded it a lot more harsh.

[greenfiend]

Umm I think I'm a member???

ha I don't remember if I paid for a whole semester or not, so bring the list to the next meeting. Also how do we know if we have been voted in, I've been to the meetings hehe I see no such voting.

[sedanman]

Lol, curt is a loser who can only set races up with some guy from the internet. I have a freind (whos car I have actually turned a wrench on) who will race this lighting and gladly show taillights.

Let me finish my car and I will run him straight up on the street $20. Put up of shut up fucker!

[shaggyboiler]

I'm not sure I'm truely a member at all either. I know I didn't pay any money this semester. I did pay $5 for last one. But since I dont' have any affiliation with Purdue anylonger. Not sure what you can call me.

[myjadeZXT]

I'm driving down from Chicago... so what time is everyone expecting to be there?

[supr87gt]

.

Let me finish my car and I will run him straight up on the street $20. Put up of shut up fucker!


I believe someone just got called the fuck out...again :eek:

[madaba]

anybody want to invite a dsm?

[Curt]

We'll be down at IRP quite a bit this summer with a bunch of other Lightnings...

Sounds like a Procharger'd 410 will be there, his 598, the 393 T-76 truck, and afew others.. I'm sure if they haven't met your friend with the YS-trim'd truck they'd like to..

And tom, the slowest of those trucks would spank your car on the bottle...

[bezersbaby83]

My mom's uncles butchers paperboy has this really badass car that has a supercharger on his turbochargers and his spraying a dual stage 500 shot. Its dumb to talk about the cars you know other people own. Talk shit to others about your own car.....and if it isnt worth talking shit about then just shut up

[Curt]

You all think Chappy, Louis, and Jeff are fucking gods...

They aren't.. They have nice little streetable cars..

Jeff's motor in a lightnig would be a nice little 12 second truck...Very ho hum when you consider theres BD-11 equipped trucks that have run 11.5's...



Hell Jeff can't keep his car together long enough to get to a track, much less make a run.. And you consider that a street car? It's *almost* as bad as Fourney's car...

My trucks my daily driver.. GO fast is nice and all, but it's number one job is start and run every morning, not blow out water pump gaskets, and if the need be drive to New York tommorow. Jeff, could your red car do that? There's alot of fast cars here that I'm sure could, but comparing a 12 second Camaro to a 12 second Lightning is crazy..

It's funny, out of the people that hang out over at Lukes, ask any of them who's car/truck is almost never being worked on...(Other than the TVR)...

I don't have the money for a second car right now.. I'm trying to save the money for this 557 buildup, as well as looking for a fox body..

But whatever be pricks, I think it's funny...

Gonna think it's really funny when a bunch of you get very embarassed by a little old red farm truck

[rutan00z28]

BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

If ignorance is bliss then you must be the hap hap happiest motherfucker on the planet.

[rutan00z28]

oops can I say motherfucker in the events and gatherings forum? oh well I guess so as I just said it twice...sweet this forum isn't as gay as I thought...wait nevermind...it still is.

[bezersbaby83]

Gonna think it's really funny when a bunch of you get very embarassed by a little old red farm truck

Although you have to keep in mind that just because your slow now, and saving up to be faster....the rest of us aren't gonna stop doing what we're doing, we'll keep getting faster and faster ourselves. The more time you take, the more your gonna have to do to "embarass" us

[supr87gt]

And tom, the slowest of those trucks would spank your car on the bottle...


So you wanna swing off of someone's nuts you moron? Tell'em to grab a lane with my Uncle. And YOU grab a lane with ME. stop running your cumdumpster about everyone else's shit and do something on your own. :mad:

[Chappy]

Curt, you just don't get it do you... I'm not a god, nor is Jeff or Louis. I would hope that no one else thinks that either. More then anything we are respected because we do have a good knowledge about cars and have done a ton of work on them (I'll be the first to admit that I don't know shit compared to Louis!), and we don't brag about knowing everything and anything about cars, like you do. My car is nothing special... shit it's a HCI, blower car. Those are a dime a dozen in the mustang world. Honestly I give a shit ton of props to Luke on what he's doing to his car, I can't wait to see how it turns out.

We do have nice little streetable cars... Jeff's motor in a lightning would probably be a high 11 sec car, but you would be dumb to put it in one. What's your point here? We all know that a truck weighs more then a car, nothing new here. It's not our fault that you're wanting to start with something that weighs 1000-1500 lbs more then what we are. Just seems like a bad idea to start with when you look at it that way.

Last year Jeff's car was down quite a bit. This was due to a problem he was having with breaking oil pump driveshafts... basically we think the shaft length was a little long on things. Now the last shaft breaking was a fluke, it's not very often that a roller rocker comes apart and sends all the roller bearings into the motor. One got sucked up and locked up the pump... shit happens. He did drive the car daily for almost two weeks straight last year with no problems, so I'm sure that it could be driven that way if needed.

My car was a daily driver for 3 years without much problems. Hell for the two years that it was a HCI car I daily drove it for about a year and a half (read 30k miles). It never left me stranded anywhere, always started (ok one morning it didn't start because the battery took a shit on me, but that's just life, would have happened to any car). It was perfectly streetable, and very dependable. So don't give me any excuses about making power reliable... you can do it, and get good mileage too (I was getting 22 on the highway and turning 108 ish trap speeds at the track). Oh BTW, the car also saw close to 150 strip passes during that period as well.. hows that for reliable?

Jeff's car is getting closer to a track car by the day, but that's only because of a few parts, namely the proshifted trans, et drags, etc... but it is still a street car, because he doesn't take it to the track that much, I think he went 3 maybe 4 times last year to the strip.

Anthony's car is still a street car as well, granted it probably won't be by the time it gets back on the road, but right now it could be very easy (shit when he took it apart this past year it still had the a 10 bolt in it!)

Do you honestly think I'll get embarassed by your farm truck if you ever do anything to it? No... mainly because if you put your 557 in it, it's going to be a race truck. So why would I feel bad about it?

BTW - Mr. Smarty Pants, why is an S-trim the wrong blower for my car? What would have been a better choice? I would really like to know what would be better and why, so I can tell all the other people with S-trims what to get since they are obviously the wrong blower choice if you say so.

[Chappy]

So you wanna swing off of someone's nuts you moron? Tell'em to grab a lane with my Uncle. And YOU grab a lane with ME. stop running your cumdumpster about everyone else's shit and do something on your own. :mad:

Preach on brother, preach on!! ;)

[Curt]

Chappy, I respect you, I know you don't respect me but to each their own...

As far as the blower.. I'm a huge propanant for Paxtons. The Novi2000 has proven itself several times as about the best all around blower out there. It has very good lower RPM(when pullied down) boost characteristics, but when pullied up is a hell of a race blower. It also has almost rock solid durability.

Now obviously I don't have first hand "I've owned it and ran it" experience, I do have the template for the brackets and for quite a while was going to plasma cut the bracket out and go looking for a head unit. But from a decent friend of mine, he's had great luck with it.. From the period where his race truck was in more of a street trim(pullied for 12-14lbs on a 351), to now where it's pullied for 10k past redline(ran a 6.5@108 1/8th this weekend at a 3400lb race weight in a lightning), it hasn't missed a beat.

At 12lbs of intercooled boost he was able to muster out an 11.01 pass..

So when you combine the fact that it has a good efficiency curve, with pretty good lower RPM airflow characteristics, plus the ability to flow 1700cfm vs about 900cfm for an S-trim, you can see that it's about one of the best all around centrifugals out there.

[Nico]

SEE CHAPPY!!
I told you he was gonna say Paxton...

I should be a god damned mind reader or something..

[Chappy]

Curt, there are a few reasons why I don't respect you. I don't like how you came on here and acted like the know-it-all of all car knowledge when you first got on the board. You lost all possible chances of getting respect when you threatened to take the club to court. If it weren't for these two things happening I might respect you as well, but I can't/won't because of them.

With that being said... I know that the Paxton is a good blower, and I did look at it before purchasing. There are a few reasons why I didn't get one.

1. Cost - Used Novi 2000 kits are few and far between, normally they go for a pretty good price as well ($2200+), every once in a while you see one go cheaper and it's sold within a few days. You can (and I did) pick up a used S-trim for $1500 or less, normally including extras such as a powerpipe/btm/maf/etc. So cost was of concern.

2. Goals for my car - I want to get 450 rwhp out of the can and then I'm done with it in the power mods. 450 is going to be pushing the stock bottom end close to the limits I want to take it to. Much more and you get in to the block breaking territory, I'm also on the limits of the stock fuel system. So realistically I wouldn't get much of an advantage with a Novi 2000 over an S-trim without spending a metric shit ton more money.

I have all intensions of being done with my car by the end of this year. I'm going to be purchasing a new car here hopefully soon to start a new buildup on. Something with a little more originality then a Fox.

[sedanman]

You all think Chappy, Louis, and Jeff are fucking gods...


I never said nor did I imply I was. I just know my shit.

Jeff's motor in a lightnig would be a nice little 12 second truck...Very ho hum when you consider theres BD-11 equipped trucks that have run 11.5's...


Why would anyone do that, all the cars you speak of have big displacement to move those over grown piles of shit.

Hell Jeff can't keep his car together long enough to get to a track, much less make a run.. And you consider that a street car? It's *almost* as bad as Fourney's car...

Really, my first H/C package went 40K (110k to 156K) with only changing oil and running 13.2@105.5 (faster then your pile of shit has gone). Then I did a new motor and better H/C still a daily driver and my only car it ran high 12's all day long. Then came the blower after it I did have some problems with it mainly its nasty habbit of breaking oil pump ds. However that problem has been solved (for the reccord it only broke twice but its a bitch to fix so it stayed down for a while). As for it not being a good street car I daily drove it for a while and my GF even drove it to work one day, put that in your pipe and smoke it dumb ass.

My trucks my daily driver.. GO fast is nice and all, but it's number one job is start and run every morning, not blow out water pump gaskets, and if the need be drive to New York tommorow. Jeff, could your red car do that? There's alot of fast cars here that I'm sure could, but comparing a 12 second Camaro to a 12 second Lightning is crazy..


Your truck is NOT fast, most new imports are faster hell my tahoe is probably almost as fast. Could I drive my tahoe to new york hell yes, could I drive my stang to NY probably once its done it will be driven to st. Louis. Could it be more reliable yes, but I don't have the money to afford that luxury.


I don't have the money for a second car right now.. I'm trying to save the money for this 557 buildup, as well as looking for a fox body..


Get a Job!


Gonna think it's really funny when a bunch of you get very embarassed by a little old red farm truck

Just put it in D and drive, stop the talking and actually walk for once.

So you never said which of those "bad ass" lightnings were gonna come and take my money, walk the walk don't talk the talk.

[Boostdz]

well...my Lightning........ :clap:


I think you just got owned curt.

[Curt]

Well seeing that your car isn't on the road currently... I'd say a plastic play toy Lightning would take your money.

[bezersbaby83]

Well seeing that your car isn't on the road currently... I'd say a plastic play toy Lightning would take your money.

Don't worry Curt, while his car's down I'm sure he can be like you and talk about some of the cars his friends have that could rip your lightning a new one :finger:

I agree with Andy here... "Put it in Drive"

[sedanman]

BLA BLA BLA funny how you brag about reliability with a 15 sec lightning. We will see about reliabillity when the car is done, I am in no hurry, I am about as worried about racing your slow ass truck as I am about racing a school bus.

Oh if you want right now you could run my 206K 4.2 V6 work van that would be a better race then the stang.
