Nice!

**BlackLightning** · 09-17-2009, 08:01 PM

damn that was quick. looks good.

**Crawlin** · 09-18-2009, 07:20 AM

Looks good Andy. COngrats on the passes

Would you sow it down a bit to run the 9.20 class or 25.5 it to run the 8.20 class if you do decide to race it a bit. Or just some NMCA True Street races?

We will see, but a 25.5 will not be going in the car for a long time. Not to mention the current combo will not go a 20.

I also want to thank Ian for fixing and painting the hood in about 8 hours! It looks better then before!

Question from a guy who knows nothing about blowers.

Do you run meth or water injection? Why no inter or aftercooler?

Not trying to start anything I think your car is awesome.

No, I run neither.
As long as you run c16, there is little to no benefit to running an intercooler on a vortech YSI in the making power department. The blower turns out to be the limiting factor in how fast you go.

The only reason I would run a intercooler, would be to go fast with pump gas. Which very well could happen when I get the most out of the current tune up.

BTW, thanks!

Thanks for the info.

Somewhat agreed, thats pretty much the only reason I have Meth injection - but I would think there would be a little more power to be made with some sort of intercooler? Frankly, either way, I'm surprised you don't have both since you do indeed drive that thing around all the time so it amazes me that you didn't have a killer "pump gas" setup from the get-go.

**Smokey1226** · 09-18-2009, 10:53 AM

Or if he goes intercooled he can play with Q16 and pick up 35hp

The little YSI will loose volume going threw an intercooler, so the gains in added timing will be close to a wash. The fastest YSI cars are non-intercooled. If I would go with an intercooler, I would also step up to the X-trim.

A low 9 second pump gas tune will be in the cards for next year. With the Bs3 it should be easy to obtain.

Awesome!

**jbiscuit** · 09-18-2009, 11:38 AM

It's a blower brace to help keep brackets lined up.

Last time I park my car by your house Andy. What the hell, you train all the birds to crap on anything that is not a Ford?

Sorry dude! It is hit or miss. That is why when I am thrashing in the garage on the blue car, the Saleen is out front.

**73MACH** · 09-20-2009, 12:39 PM

Boss, I absolutely LOVE your car!! I still have yet to see it in person, and I'm sure the pics don't do it any justice. I did get to see the Saleen a couple of times, such as when I stopped by for the bonfire. I just wish I had the knowledge you and everyone who helped with the work have!! I envy people like you with the drive to do stuff like this! Btw, the paint it outragious!!!! By far my favorite color blue. Whats the name of that color???
