Why do my times suck?

Hows the belt, any slippage ? Maybe time for a Metco tensioner or Suavy tensioner !

For the same reason you don't see a JDM booth at an NMRA event.

JDM sponsors the truck class in Fun Ford Weekend.

JLP & PSP are vendors and also run at the NMRA events.

Besides the conflicting schedules of the two racing bodies there's also a rivalry between the three lettered vendors that has waged on for years.

Too many unspeakable horrors have been committed by said vendors to each other that I dare not repeat them here. You'll just have to wait for the graphic novel to come out. Tuner Wars 4,5 & 6 will be released first. Look for the prequels (1,2 & 3) shortly there after. If anyone still gives a s**t.

That's where all the "little" things add up

Well JimJr, if your times suck, they probably take after you. That's one idea. Or, you probabaly would have gone faster with a 4lb pulley.......right Gator? Or even maybe even an automatic is a problem for ya. You could switch to a direct drive but I'm not sure you could handle that either. Maybe you are the one who doesn't deserve a Lightning.....runnin 13's with a pulley and more. How bout you send me your keys instead and I'll get you that 12 second timeslip.

WideOpen03SVT,

I don't know your name, but you must be the biggest *** hole on this entire message board. Perhaps you are the smartest guy on the boards, but I doubt it since your only response is how much better you can drive.

If you have no reasonable input to offer, just sit on the couch and jerk off imagining yourself behing the wheel.

Hey how did those 16" wheels turn out. Maybe next time you should think of expenses like tires before you go and blow your life savings on a truck.Or it could be the fact that i'm 20 yrs old and achieved what took you 28 yrs to achieve. Maybe its because you suck at life? Maybe you should have considered a hybrid if you were so poor. But hey.......any time you feel like your a bigger man, bring your candy *** up to Mass. The better part of you dripped down your moms leg.

Wishing she had swalloed-

JimJr
