And why couldnt I drive it there?
I do run in the street legal series
I havent run the car yet since the sabotage
btw I make 100 more rwhp since the rebuild
I will run 10`s tonight and I dont see anything wrong with a streetlegal 10 second N/A smallblock LT1 do you?
Street legal-let's see, no cats, no canister, and the passenger seat is removed cause nobody wants to cruise with you-right?
And last but not least-NO DYNO SHEETS
ER-well it makes between 450-460-yep that's pretty accurate-is that based on how hot the weather station gets? Or is that based on how much the short cost you-start saving up for that coupon book-only you would want to be part of that "ELITE" group of guppies!!!!!
An experianced tuner will walk the track and assess the conditions. Nobody comes out on kill the first pass that is stupid. You feel out your tune up so you don't have happen to you what happenned to Eddy. Its the tuners job to get you safe up and down the track. Hero boy screwed up. Plain and simple. I learned this racing 1/8 mile on some really bad track. Always take it easy until you know what the track will hold.
Were you there that day ??. I was not there ?? Wade was there and i am sure he set the car up right. I hear from sources your tunner must not of did his job right when you crashed YOUR CAR. Driver, tunner ??.

451@7200rpm
makes 400@only 5500(so the power will never be below 400 for the entire run )
through a th400,12 bolt and a 5200 stall

No I wasn't there but the video tells the story. Driver did his best. Chassis saved his life. Tuner looked stupid. Way to much power for track conditions.
Exactly when my car crashed I was on my own and didn't know a damn thing, unlike the paid professional hero boy!

Wade is not paid by Eddie, i guess if you work for food and fun that is being call a paid professional.

Yes I payed for my education with my time and my own money. I am not a god but I know how to race a bottom 8 second car safely and successfully without scattering it all over the track. Its not much but it is something.

Oh...ok sorry. I didn't realize hero Boy was doing all this work for everybody for free. Just because he loves it. Great then in that case he should be forgiven for all the screw ups a real professional wouldn't make! makes everything ok! PLEASE TOM GIVE THIS UP. The truth is the truth

Yes i agree there is a learing curve for everyone. That is my point, why are you so hard on Andre i think he is doing the same thing. It took you 20 yrs to build your stuff and how much education money ???. Andre will build his in one year. He has only been in the game for a whopping total of 3 years I think! IMO he is ahead of the game and while sure he has yet to drive his car he will surpass your achievments in short order. I am also sure that you didn't just jump in yout race car and blast off that 8.0 pass. which has yet to been seen. Sure Vince you have been in the racing game a long time but usually with a career as long as yours and the achievments you have done you would think someone like you would have respect, funny!
bottom line is. leave him,his car alone. he needs to go faster he ups the turbo, what did you do whrn you wanted to go faster, up the jets?
thought so.
get that new street car of yours ready, we can have some fun

Yes i belive he does love it, and what Wade does on his weekend's is his choice. Yes he is a professional during the week as is everyone else that WORKS for a living. So on the weekend i belive it is for food and fun unless you show up.
He gets paid alright..... Everytime someone walks through the door....
Do you not get paid for your job ???. Or do you not have JOB!!!!!!. I am talking about the weekends, or are you so cool that your friends pay you to hangout with them on weekends. Is that kinda like prostitution, Vince can you clearify please ??.

Bro-this is where your wrong-he's not professional, he sits around with his buddy's ands cuts up everyone-including me. I don't own a shop-I don't claim to have all this experience-what does he find so threatening that he has to carve me up-that is not professional IMHO.

Truth took me 7 years to get that car to run to its potiential. Yes they are ahead of the game using all the latest technology but then again 7 years ago Andre's junk was available. NOT! He will surpass me. Yes with 5 times the hardware I ever had. He needs to surpass me very quickly if he plans to save any face. Respect for a car with so many apparent issues? Unlike you say upping the jets if you had knowledge you would see Andres car doesn't need more power. It needs to be tuned to work together. Again hero boy will get a bigger Turbo and just force it again. What else is new? Watch Orlando video again! Having a hard times respecting a guy who pays to have a car built. gets somebody to drive it and stands around talking about how fast and smart they are. Sounds more like a drug dealer on the corner with a pocket full of smack forsale talking to the undercover it he wants his girlfriend with the deal for quick $100.

Ahhh... so no glory involved for his personal reputation? Everything is selfless! give me a break Tom!

Loose lips-sink ships.
Hi Arun, how is it going. Tell us how you really feel. I have not heard much bad about you, from anyone. I belive Wade does not own a shop either at this time. At this time he is working for Redline. I do not belive Wade is threatened by you either.
Do you not get paid for your job ???. Or do you not have JOB!!!!!!. I am talking about the weekends, or are you so cool that your friends pay you to hangout with them on weekends. Is that kinda like prostitution, Vince can you clearify please ??.
Stop talking about Andre will you. nobody wants to discuss how sad paying for your friends really is!

Hi Vince,you are right I am not that experenced with race cars,race motors or anything else of that level. now you do have more knowledge than me in many areas,I can see that you are quit well verse in the shady areas of life. much talk and knowledge about certain "places",male orgain, and common "street practices". angin nothing that I know about, other than what hangs between my legs as small/big as it maybe i like and it works just fine
