tires aren't the issue, wheel hop is HORRENDOUS in it, I mean worse than any i've ever seen, I went for a ride with him through the 1/4 riding passenger and it is just down right terrible... that is why he was babying off the line most of the night

no it seriously does have some top end on it...
and yeah, thrasher you didn't get to meet homeschool, he is the type to break out the GPS on you as well as Calculus in determining hp/weigh ratio, lol
way too smart for his own good...
tonight when myself and some friends were heading back from the club, he ran into us... he ended up following us to another buddies house which ended in "well, we're about to go into the house to this party" and him just driving away... we don't TRY to be mean, he just does it to himself with **** like that, lol
i got pretty pissed off tonight, I spotted my catch for the night, she was dressed as Princess Leia, but she had this slit up her leg and was tatted up to her panty line, oh my goodness, yes... anyway, after I made my move and broke the ice she then used the "i'm here with a friend" line.. I was like "girl friend, boy friend?" and I got the "boy friend" line... ok, if you let your girlfriend come to a party dressed as Prince Leia and looking like that, you need your ass kicked for being a dumb ass... and that pissed me off, because I just knew I was in that ****

i'm hoping to order my SLP CAI this week... and get the tune the following week or the next... honestly think I can hit 12.6-12.7s with those two mods
there is a reason i'm going SLP... its essentially just the elbow to the stock air box and a dry flow filter... PERFECT... why? Janetty Racing tested it like that and got a gain of 9.1whp(with no tuning) but the airbox in the Camaro is IDENTICAL to the Cobalt... snorkel and all... i'm going to do the ZZP airbox/snorkel mod on the Camaro... may even try to buy the Cold Air Induction Race Scoop(snorkel) and modify it to fit the factory box... because the factory box faired very well in Jannetty's test, in fact the only CAIs to outperform it was the Cold Air Induction CAI with Race Scoop(though it requires relocating the washer fluid reservoir and I don't want to hack anything except the air box up under the hood), the K&N air charger(which IMO ruins the look under the hood), the SLP Blackwing, and the New Era which also requires some modifying(tilting the radiator)... but i'd like to see the SLP tested with an updated snorkel, because they tested it with the stock airbox and it still put down very impressive numbers and its also $200 compared to about $450 for the others... and honestly the cost isn't what sparked my interest, its knowing what I know about the LNF factory air box vs every CAI on the market... the Camaro guys are just WAY too stubborn to try to do things like that, they follow the vendors like their words are made of gold...
i'm just interested in going fast, screw pleasing a vendor
i'd like to have access to a dyno when I test it though, i'd like to dyno without the SLP, with the SLP on the stock air box, and then with the modded air box just to see the gains, I honestly think it would rival the "best" results of the other CAIs if not out perform them, of course even Jannetty said the peak numbers mean nothing, CAI Inc, had the "best" gains but the slowest acceleration, SLP and K&N were neck and neck and were the best performers as far as acceleration went
I'm more interested in hitting the 7s through the 1/8th than I am mid/low 12s through the 1/4...why? all the local tracks are 1/8th mile, I'd rather go down to it and run with the Cammed LS1s with a bolt-on 6-speed auto than go to Steele and hit mid/low 12s, lol

I watched one of my good friend's nephew ball all over a team in the State playoffs tonight:
Devin Sullivan, remember that name... kid is a Sophomore and already getting looks from the SEC, his speed is on a whole different level from any back i've seen.. and i've seen some damn fast back(who are currently playing D1 in the SEC) play football... i'm talking Carnell Williams, Jalston Fowler, Brent Calloway, Ivan Matchett, etc.
his team got down 21-0 tonight off turnovers but then he went into beast mode... I don't know how many yards he ended up with, a hell of a lot, lol... they won 51-27... yeah, 51 unanswered points(Chelsea scored last but was getting thrashed at that point, lol) and he had 5 or 6 rushing TDs, I can't remember... and a couple of them were big runs
and he's not at some little school, its 5A football
kid is a freaking beast
he even has that look like you know he's a bad ass
he's predicted to be the top prospect in 2013 in the state and good news guys: huge bama fan, lol
you don't think one kid that good can make a team, well, he got hurt last year in fall practices as a freshman(would have started)... started his 1st game this year and by game 3 had schools in the SEC saying "who is this kid?" they went undefeated in the regular season 5A with their only loss coming to a top 5 6A school by 7 on the road in a game they had 4 turnovers... they'll probably make a run at state and this is their 1st year making the playoffs in like 10 years, lol... when you have one kid this good, he can be a game changer from terrible to state contenders with one player... oh some people will say "their is no I in team"... but there is an I in WIN, and this kid proves that, lol

people call me crazy but after the bolt-ons and a tune, i'm going this route:
https://secure.merlinsoftware.com.au...CAMARO+DRAG+II
its $1800 but when I cam it, i'm going to be glad I did that beforehand
if all goes as plan with my job when I top out in 2 years I hope to by them have it bolt-on/cammed... then i'm honestly thinking about pulling the engine and doing some forging before throwing on a TVS2300 or Vortec V-3 Si... definitely will go s/c over turbo though... turbos on a v8 are great when are looking to make 850+whp but you can easily get to 650 with a blower while having a powerband that is useful besides on a dyno and drag strip... and of course, the sound of the blower
will have to take a break on the car though probably this summer, going back to school to finish my degree(while keeping my full time job and going to training with it through the local)... I can finish my degree up online so I wont physically be going to class, its just going to consume all my spare time.... but it'll be worth it, getting the degree will probably be a difference between $60,000 a year and $110,000 a year doing the same job(well actually the better paying job you do LESS, lol)
