Thanks Pal


Denny, since Sal is going Turbo Now,
he does happen to have his long tube Headers he's willing to sell at a deal, but unfortunately because they're so big, the entire system would have to be changed from Motor to tail pipe
(God I would love the Full deal exhaust)
But My CC's are currently WELL OVER 16K, I CAN NOT go more without ANOTHER Bankruptcy, (been there, done that)

ALTHOUGH THAT WOULD BE ONE HELL OF A WAY TO WRITE THIS ALL OFF WOULDN'T IT, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Rob,
Anything is possible. We have a bit of time, so lets see how all this plays out. You have been a great supporter and promoter. We do appreciate this.

You also need to have more confidence in us. You are settling for low 11's. Please. I know we could have gotten you this on a stock bottom end. Now I expect mid 10's out of you.

As simple as people think a nitrous system is, you would be surprised at how the attention to detail is a great benefit in power and reliability. No different then the quality of a Porsche over a Camaro for overall design and performance.

Rob,

Start a business selling Lightning parts (stickers, shirts etc...), write off your mods as a business deduction?

You mean cheat on my Taxes

Schiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, you don't think I need an excuse to do that,
DO YOU : o )

One recent year, I claimed Married with Children on one Side
of the return, and Widow no Children on the other side, hehehehe
WHAT EVER IT TAKES BRO ; o )
Anyone want to buy a sticker, I only got to sell "1" by 12/31
(BTW, I can feel a Big Stock Loss coming up to end 04) : o )

Denny Denny, dont EVER think I don't have MAJOR confidence in You and the System, I left a ton on the table this season, AND didn't pick the 2 BEST DAYS to be at the Track @($%)@$%)@$%@()$%)@$ 3/10 th's left on the table EASY )@%@)$%@)$%@($

Sorry Pal, I find it soooooooooooo hard even remotely thinking I may actually run a 10 in this bad boy some day, NEVER MIND MAYBE next season. Then hit a switch and drive home in comfort,
It won't get no better than that, this is going to take some time getting use to

Rob while its all apart why dont u give me the intake manifold and gaskets and heads.I can do a nice hand port for u and have a comp named precision cylinder heads assemble them with oversized valves for a decent price.Ask Sal about PCHS.They're a great comp and he's dealt with them before.You might as well while its apart.THen u can even pick up some cams for a around 5-6 hundred more.Come on now shoot the lock off the wallet and lets go 10 next season.

In Sal's hands I'm sure it will be!

I can't wait to see you bring that bad boy out next spring Rob.

You're now a player's player, Spray your way to a low 10.

Re: Well it's Official, L's at PSP

Congrats Rob

Iam truely glad you decided to build the bottom end, instead of trying to to go faster with the stock little rods. We both know yours and mine would not last much longer at the rate we where going.

But I choose to pay for my motor with cash, instead of going into more debt LOL
My problem is now I have the cash to do a motor job, those new Mustangs look O-So-Nice, and with the down payment, the monthly payments would be liveable. Ofcourse I could be like you, and beg everybody for something free or half-price

Which brings us to this question...........

What is Bobby Thinking?



A.....So this is the guy that took my Christmas money

B......The hell with College, I'll work at WaWa

C......Sure will be fun sneaking the truck out late at night

D......Can't wait to put pecker-tracks on the front seat

E.......All of the above

Re: Re: Well it's Official, L's at PSP

Thanks Buddy, Thanks EVERYONE, I am soo excited......................
and I hear you Gator bout the other Fords now available,
JDM ran a frigging what 13.2, or 13.4 or something like that ,
on a Brand New Ford Mustang GT straight off the showroom floor,
no doubt that little beast can go hi 12's dead 100% stock with Slicks and a Air Filter. And thats just a reg 4.6, no S/C, : o () WOW.
Imagine the 32V Cobra Motors and the potential, people are going 10's with like 1-2 K in mods.

I based my decision on this 100%
I have never ever ever kept ANYTHING this long already (schitt even the Cobra was boring after 2 yrs and I dumped it)
So since I still owe 3 yrs on this, I MUST KEEP IT and pay off the note (which I have never done before on a car) and then at least in 3 years it'll still be worth 10-15 K which would then be liquid Money I can put in the Bank and then start all over with a new SOMETHING and loan. It's the only card I can play right now, but like you I do have the OTHER new car and payment and may change that to something a bit more sporty SOME DAY : o )

WHY IS SAL DRESSED IN DRAG
