LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I love it.

 

Whats going on? How are you doing?

Warren

 

I'm well, how's the N2O? Any roadtrips to FL lately? i.e Track or dyno plans?

 

All the tracks here are closed. I am driving down to Florida next Tuesday for only a week to spend New Years with the family. I will try to go to the track or get a dyno while I am down there.

Have a great holiday.

Warren

 

I know everytime im free and roaming i cant never seem hook up with you guys. i got a hot one coming up soon im gonna make sure the video camera is rolling this time no more nextel vids,lol.

 

 

Instead of paying a few hundred a month on mods that don't work, pay a few hundred more per month on a new dodge charger SRT8 if power is all you care about.

 

I'm down 100%, you got a little extra then me and I'm guessing you have the 6 speed, but lets do this.

And as far as the charger srt-8 I enjoy not hearing my car rattle on every bump after 3 months -=D

 

Automatic. I won't use the nitrous.

ooh this sounds like fun, im down for some too except if i wind up in the back,squirt,squirt,squirt for the win lol.

Do you have any data to back it up?

 

blah blah blah, for a postwhore, nope...

 

Would you wanna meet up tonight?

This would help me in my deceision on getting a catback, and pullies

 

The best I can do is Sat. morning. I was out all morning and the car is put away till Sat. I have to drive my wife's car tomorow and Fri. to take her and some ppl to the city in the morning. I will hang out at my moms till they are ready to go home.

Not to start a fight, but is street racing a buddy or going by the butt dyno really the best way to find out the effectiveness of mods or their gains? That just doesn't seem like a sound way of testing for gains.

How about some before and after dyno runs or some 1/4 mile time slips? If memory serves me right, Maxmale got some dynoed gains from his bolt-ons before and after tuning, and apparently its not even tuned right yet.

 

Btw, didn't Warren (ramberg) also get some nice dyno numbers before the nitrous install?

 

installed already, and street racing even though not recommended is the perfect way to test parts as long as its the same car before and after. for some of us the real goal is to pull on someone not worry about dynos. i have never dynod and dont care as long as i stretch you 8 cars, lol.

 

I dont know how to of the exact same cars floored at the exact same time is not effective.


and warren, saturday is good, if you know of any good spots let me know, because though i always just race someone on ocean parkway, its not to bright lol.

 

I know its installed, I was referring to the dyno he did with y-pipe, cat-back etc.

Sorry, I didn't realize that this was a FNF discussion. I still think there are too many external factors when you use a street race to determine the gains, but I won't get into it since I'm sure all of you here can "stretch me 8 cars", whatever floats your boat.

 

Or you want to choose a managing system i.e. EMU, JWT re-re-re-reprogram, And dynotune sometime ...


GodFather Unless there are #'s to back up the "Father" in your name

 

FNF OMG please. the whole point of mods is to make your car faster period, then i guess the whole world is FNF. i understand the point of a dyno is to properly tune your car but just to dyno to see if it actually gives 10 hp isnt nessecary as long as it helps the car move faster.

 

We all want to make our cars faster, I'll concede that. I just thought that I'd raise a point about being "scientific" instead of just saying that as long as I pull on XXXX by XXXX cars then the mods are effective. The thread starter raised doubts about the effectiveness of mods and I was going with that discussion.

There is a lot of variability in those results, therefore a dyno to show what is really going on is useful. And no, you don't have to do it for every little 10 hp mod, but if and when you think you're ready to see how the car is reacting to the mods or like you said, for AF tuning, a dyno definitely couldn't hurt.

 

Dyno is in reply number 37.

 

Thanks, not sure how I missed that.

 

I thought you just wanted to hear how the system sounded. I won't street but will run you when the track reopens in the spring. Read this and you will see why.

December 19, 2005 -- A driver was killed yesterday when his vehicle flipped over several times on the Grand Central Parkway and crashed into a tree, police said.

Kevan Sinanan, 23, of Queens, suffered severe head injuries when he lost control of a 2001 Nissan Maxima shortly after 1:30 a.m. He was pronounced dead at Mary Immaculate Hospital.

Cops said Sinanan and two friends were traveling west near 188th Street when the accident occurred.

According to the victim's brother, Ryan, Sinanan and his friends were returning from a club on Long Island.

At Sinanan's family home, Ryan, 25, choked back tears as he talked about his younger brother and wrestled with his sudden death.

He said Sinanan was "an excellent" driver, and had trouble believing his brother was behind the wheel.

Sinanan, a basketball-loving computer student, was described by family as a giving man who would do anything for his family.

"He was very generous," Ryan said. "I can't believe he's dead. I definitely will miss him."

The Nissan's rear passenger was ejected from the car and sustained head and leg injuries.

He was listed in stable condition at Booth Memorial Hospital. The front passenger suffered leg injuries and was listed in stable condition at Mary Immaculate.

Ryan said his brother graduated from York College with an associate's degree, and was studying computer science at the New Horizons Computer Center in Queens.

Sinanan's girlfriend, Melissa Feliciano, described him as a very "goal-oriented" guy.

"He was one of the most beautiful persons I've ever known," Feliciano said. "I couldn't have had a better boyfriend."

 

That's too bad, was that anyone from the .Org?

 

well then....Saturday I would still like to see and hear your car...Since you put that so brutally, I will pass on the race as well.

 

so what is the truth

 

When the track opens, I got $50.00 on ramberg....

 

ill put $50 on him too lol, hes got pulleys and a catback.

I think im done trying to speed up the max, come the summer I think im going to pick up like a 96 240sx, and put the speed in there.

 

He's also one of the few 6th gens with Juice...

 

If I thought he was using his juice I def would not race lol

 

Ramberg is all over the Org as well as NYCMaximas, and he has a homepage on Cardomain, challengers should always do their homework first...

Bottom line, ramberg is one of the good guys and I have never worked or played with a guy with so much heart. Where just doing that guy thing, it's all good in the end...

 

na man im def not sleeping on him, Im just a young buck whos learning, im only 22 lol. I know hes older and def has more experience so im using it all as something to learn from.

 

both cars were auto and you had ypipe and berk intake and he was stock.
what type of test was it ?

things to consider:
driver weight: is he lighter than you, if so how much ?
wheels/tires: do either of you have aftermarket, if so what size and how much do the combos weigh ?
car weight: do you have big stereo system, was another person in your car ?
gasoline: were both of you running the same octane rating, did you have a full tank of gas to his 1/8th for example ? lol



just food for thought

 

well i do know that my gas was so low i thought i was going to run out...I only run 93 octane gas. he was stock, i had y pipe, berk, and no resonator.
I have se automatic 5 speed, 18 inch rims, he has sl automatic 5 speed, 17 inch rims...the rims were the major weight difference, but still mods shoulda put me somewhat ahead IMO.

 

Take spare tire and jack out, there 50+ lbs

 

i always think of doing that, but honestly id rather keep the 50 lbs in rather than get caught out there someday...

 

Get AAA, or keep a can of tire flat. They do that in certain lightweight edition cars. How many times have u really used a spare tire in ur life? Once for me in 26+ years of driving. Im really close to removing it. I certainly removed it when I time trialed it last year.
