Hello Jayman...

What's your real name? Do you know about http://www.v8eaters.com/ ? I don't recognize your name/car combination, so I'm not sure if you are part of cincidsm or not. But there are quite a few of us around here.

Hey Dallace, No I'm am not part of Cincidsm but I have been to you website. I just got my car about a month ago. I have met you though. You probably don't remember, but I was up at Edgewater with one of my friends. I know Dave Laggan from work and I was up there watching you guys run. You were there, Dave, a friend of you guys who had a white FWD, and some guy with a black Talon that I don't think you guys knew of at the time. If I remember he had rainbow colored hair. I think you we're running mid to high 12's that day. After that day I fell in luv with DSM's so I got one. I'm beginning to modify my car and I will probably come up to Edgewater to see what I can run this spring. I probably won't race at the track too often though because if I break something I really can't afford to fix it right now. I have an intake and I plan on having upgraded I/C pipes, BOV, and exhaust this Spring. What kind of times do you think I can run with these mods, of course I'm still running the small ass T-25. Can't wait until I can save enough for a 16G. It will be a while though. I'm still in school. Low on cash u know. It will be a while before I up the boost, I need to save money for a boost controller and gauges so I can monitor what is going on. I'll also need to upgrade the fuel pump and have some type of fuel control. BTW My real name is Johnson. Yes that is my first name, but all my friends call me Jay.

Cool...

You are right, I don't remember you :-) I'm glad we could make you see the light, and get you started on your love of DSMs

Its hard for me to guess 2g times. I would not expect anything spectacular your first time out though. The T25 is of course going to be your biggest hindrance at the 1/4 mile track.

I'd also suggest you visit Tristate Dragway vs. Edgewater. Edgewater is way too busy if you are actually there to test/tune your car. There are too many VERY SLOW mom/dad cars there taking up too much room. Tristate you will get many more runs. Its off the same exit. Hamilton/Cleves exit, but instead of heading right at that light in Miamitown, you go straight for about 10 miles (seems forever) and Tristate is on the Right right across from a Marathon gas station. There's a link to that track off my website. under DSM Links in the local section.

Yeah I know the T-25 will be a hindurance especially since I have no boost control right now. I think my car is supposed to run low 15's stock. So I was hoping to shave off a few tenths. We'll see.
