[N2O-SHARK]

I'll pm you the new number. Basically got bored of the Rennlist clicks. You're concours or SC, that's your only 2 choices on Rennlist... IMO
Widebody? Blasphemy!
Turbo? Blasphemy!
N2O? Blasphemy!
Rear Wing? Blasphemy!
Fly cutting your own pistons? Blasphemy!

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of awesome folks on Rennlist, and I learned more about the shark there than anywhere. Worth paying to be a supporting member. Just got tired of a few loud voices trying to corral everyone into there way of thinking. I say, run what you brung and have fun! Don't judge, applaud and help out. Funny thing is there wasn't too much directed at me, just got tired of seeing it directed at others. What got me to give up on Rennlist was I started to post pics of my hybrid build up, before I even started to post the good pics I was getting blasted for fly cutting my own pistons, having the heads ported, polished and gasket matched, the intake runners extrude honed and gasket matched plus running dual 3" exhaust off the MSDS headers. I think my results have proven them all wrong. Even N/A this car is a monster. I took a buddy to Panama City to test drive a GTS and he couldn't keep up. And that was without the giggle gas. Gtech is hitting 290RWHP @ about 70mph. Add about 19hp for drag ( .38drag coeficient and 21sqft frontal area) and you get about 360hp at the crank (assuming 15% loss). That's a 60hp crank gain for headers, no cats, X, 3" dual exhaust, Turbo44 mufflers, head work, intake work, upgraded ignition, 5.0L bottom end, etc.. I know the Gtech is not the perfect way to measure HP, but it's real world which is what matters. Pretty good bang for the buck.

I've gotten pretty active in a couple local tuner boards where there's just more love for what I've done to my car. Also hanging with the local region 12 SCCA boards. I had forgot about Pelican until I needed the new block. Much more level headed and accepting here!

Still interested in the clock work orange kit if you still have it, just trying to allocate funds form the finance minister for a wide body kit. She asked what I needed it for...I said to get chicks! Bad move...
