I tell you my car dead hooks spraying off the line and then you turn around and call me a liar by saying that a 2.8 with nitrous and a manual tranny will spin off the line. Get a clue. It doesn't spin at all."
after I said ........
.......And I thought I was both fair & clear. A guy pulling ~200 hp will hook up. A guy ~300+on nitrous is not going to hook solid.
I thought my comment was pretty fair, but this is what I just got on PM's from SH. Shaun you just don't get it. Sometimes a setup doesn't come together first nite out.
Quote from SH:
you were the one talking about what jets to use for max power. going around saying you are running the same jets and that the car runs good with it.
Now you take it to the track and you are a half second off. Ummm what happened to all that extra hp and perfect jetting you had on it? Why would you go around telling other people what to jet their carb at if you didnt' feel it was the best setting?? You told people what to jet their carb at cause that is what you had yours at.
Now it wasn't as fast and you blame it on the jetting after being sure taht it was the best jetting for the setup.
Give it a rest dude.
And that was my point with my post about the carb on the 4.9. He put a carb on it and hasn't taken it to the track or dyno to change jettings or tune it to see if it has made a positive difference. He just slapped it on and states its faster. Well we can see that is not always the case since your car proved this. Most likely him slapping that carb on the 4.9 slowed it down. he did no tuning on it except for maybe the butt. But then again yoiu used yoru butt too right and you see where that got you.
I think its kind of funny. Even on a great day a 4.9 will do a 14.6 as linenoise has posted. This is after many trips to the drag and getting the launch down just right. This guy has never been to the track, prob has carb tuning issues that he is unaware of so its not making as much power. SO lets say that this 4.9 can do a mid 14. That is still not enough. I find it funny how people think a mid 14 is enough to beat me. I posted my old 85 gt with less power and a auto tranny turned a 14.1 Thats already half a second faster then the best stock 4.9 swap out there with the auto tranny. And this car that I am driving now is faster then my old setup. It has better gearing, weighs less, and is making more power then the 4.9. So it should seem obvious whos car is faster
You people are so hung up on hoping to see me lose that you are trying to find any reason why I will. I post facts on what my car can do and people still make excuses. Some are so blinded by wanted to see me lose. Its kind of funny really.
If a C5 corvette rolled up next to him at a light, he wouldnt' even think about it. Now my car is not a corvette, but compared to the 4.9 auto the vette has better gearing and more hp. The corvette weighs a little more though then my car. But even then it has better gearing and more power. You wouldnt' even argue taht then would you? So wahts the difference here? My car has better gearing and more hp and weighs less. It should be easy to figure out which car is faster.
TAke the blinders off and I recommend everyone else take them off too.

This isn't rational. You're banned on my PM's.
Anything I purchase for my car I buy a manuel on.... I even got the holley manuel and jetting and ect and proformance tunning... I read the book night and day.... I even found out about lighter springs on the mechanical dist for faster launch...... I know the 4.9 can rev to about 5500 rpm I have a box full of springs for all different torc curves.... Into I take it to a track I will never know what color would be best..... From data and notes I collected I have learned the blue springs work best for the 5speed izusu tranny. 
1-4 used to be race friendly... And have gone fast in other cars I drove on it.... But then I wised up and thought it is a fools game to race dangerously and illegally just to prove a point and still there would not be much proof at all... And the risk of going to jail and losing your car with your license.
