12's :)

Post by BigProbe »

Anyone here have goals of running into the 12s? What about just discussing Dyno procedures or horsepower vs weight? etc?<P> ;)

A few people made rude coments toward the end after you and I, so the post was deleted. It was getting WAY out of hand. Instead of worrying about it, it was deleted.

when personal issues get involved, I must take administrative responsobilites though, even though it was a dispute against mine and your opinions. People had to throw in their 2 cents, got out of hand, post deleted, sorry.

lol!! <P>I think it could have served to just delete the one or two offending replies (personally, I didn't see any after my "at NO time during any of my perhaps 50 dyno runs, did the operator inquire or enter any information as to my vehicle's weight".<P><BR>Hope I didnt miss anything too juicy.

(considerin i have 17 inch chrome wheels on and a system in the back) that was my first week of racin, the second week i only managed a 12.3 ...which isnt bad..but it could be better.
