its nice to know I am not always wrong hahahahahahaha I believe it would be better for you, seems like a lot of those mericans run the f35. I am starting to think we should be stocking trannies. it sounds like it could get harder to find them in the future.
so you haven't slept yet? I got work today, then after gonna go soak in that mineral salt water hot tub. I could never understand why people say ewwwww to hot tubs. specially one that's in such a well maintained place like the fairmount. there is a race tonight on the tube. I want to watch it. it should be done around 930 I maybe willing to come out for some runs after. your even welcome to come over to watch the race if you wish. I will talk to sean today to see whats up.
the weather is so nice I think we need to get one more night in. it would be nice to see the bird show up too

The 3.82 was also coupled with the LNF because of the lower rev limit so the gears didn't end up being shorter. The 4.05 holds up better in higher hp and tq simply because of the shorter gearing not causing it to load up as much. Same reason the 4.45 holds up even better. The reason the F40 seems to be stronger is because of the dual input shaft design as opposed to a single, so it allows much less flex, which keeps the gears nice and mated to each other during high load scenarios rather than allowing the gears to pull apart slightly which creates slop and less clean contact if the teeth aren't making full face contact with each other. I have only ran my F40 for about 6k miles so far at 500+whp up to 600whp, but so far all seem well. It will be interesting to see how it holds up in the future. I know my friend's 4.45 F35 has been holding up for about 5k miles on his 480whp LNF, and his stock F35 held up to 430whp for about 2 years.

I'm heading to Jonathan's right now mark call me if you have plans
I gotta say that hot tub is amazing. god I feel so good. I remember how tough it is to be expecting jonathan. so when the time is right we will all go and enjoy a relaxing time when your all ready to go out.
Jon, how many times did you have to fill up on the way to Camrose?? Haha. I know we talked about possibly running into each other this weekend, but I didn't think we actually would!

Filled up in calgary from cruising around last night, once in red deer and topped her off in camrose for the trip to the farm. So about 2 fills of 91 is about 110 one way. But have people stare at me and comment on the truck all the time is worthless.
I think thats how it goes right?

Thanks for dinner Jonathan and Jamie it was fun!
I let my brother drive my car today and as soon as he hit boost in 3rd he was grinning from ear to ear. And finally he asked me to fix hi car!! So I guess I have to start working on that soon as well.
So as of prob tues I will be turning my car down to 89 octane level whatever that may be with no meth for the winter. Everyone I wanted to take for a rip I was able to and I'm done racing for the year so it's time

I may be buying my brother a clutch and new intake manifold today!! Next I just need to get him a REAL turbo. He's got 555's right now I don't know how his data logging will work for his stand alone but I am gonna try to get him some meth so that'll lower IDCs but I know Matt will and can get me a turbo for him to run with us! So next year we'll have another car out with us in the ~350hp!
Of course we'll have him race the "gatekeeper" first then see where she fits in!

the gate keeper almost decided to shut up some idiot lexus is 300 owner. he was a lippy idiot. he decides to try to get me to go at a light and squeels out and goes from the right lane to the left turn lane. so I roll up beside him at the very next intersection shaking my head a bit. he's looking at me and drops his window. says, you really need all those gauges, that they wont make my car be fast. im like what? all those guages would destroy that car. he is like ya right. im like sure it will. I told him we have the same amt of hp and I am way lighter then him so it would not end well for him. he gets all pissy and starts mouthing me off saying it would never happen. I say lets settle this, he says sure. im like ok, im going straight come get some. hes like im going left. I said so come get some bitch. he is like ok. so the light goes green I roll out and absolutely ripped it up for 10 ft. he chickened out the pansy. I have yet to loose to a lexus 300 even on the 2.8 and without the motor work. I would have ripped him open. the stock lexus is slow as *****.

Well as of now I have an intake manifold and clutch picked out for him just have to get them but with out a new turbo he wont touch anyone but I think after he drove my car I'll have a lot more say. And having a SR20 turbo hook up doesn't hurt

Good kill Mark! They are like 220bhp so no surprise there. My friend Corey in my shop has one, we put an S366et on it on E85 and she made it to 15 lbs before bending a rod, so we put a new piston in the Supra's old 2J and honed it and threw it in the Lexus and now shes on 20 lbs and loving it That turbo on the Supra last year on only 15 lbs made 550whp to give you some reference for the IS on 20.
It was brand new 2014, and the kid was cocky. we didn't even run coz he got scurd when I lit them up leaving the light. he did not even try after he heard my car bark. according to the info I seen it has 300 hp on stock rating. but I believe it is like 600lbs heavier.

So I just got home and after dropping my sister off at here place I start to leave around the corner and here's 2 idiots walking their dog in the middle of the street. I slow down and they get about 3 feet to the one side of the road that has a parked vehicle on it and the guy starts doing the motions for slowing down and mouthing the words. I was only doing 25 km/hr around the corner and i stop and open my door and ask him what he said. He said, "It's a residential area and I have to slow down." I replied "I didn't know that the speed limit was changed from 50 down to idling" and i drove away.
******* people shouldn't be walking in the middle of the road ever......... especially at night. If you don't want your ass hit then they should be on a sidewalk which, my sisters area has multiple for their convenience.
My sister texted me shortly after she seen i was stopped and asked what her neighbor wanted. I told her to tell him that the streets are for objects with wheels not idiots with dogs
Oh and I was playing with some red lowered cobalt.....Seemed like it was supercharged as he could not out run me or catch me when he was trying to follow me through traffic..... His girlfriend was laughing as he tried to pass me but the procharger said FU lol
