    Simon, this is what I was saying. Superstition... you used to cross your fingers for 12s and 13s the night before the drags, then run 14s and 15s Remember, I made you hope for 14s instead and look what happened

    simon! CONGRATS!! you are my hero!

    you need to set up a on board cam and post up some vids of your turbo van street rod!!

    might i suggust to help with your detonation problems, and they arnt all that expensive is invest in an alky kit... KJ (onefastbaron13) just got his installed and is running 25psi no problems... plus on the street if you want you can run low octane and just have the alky compensate if you wanted to do that.

    and if anyone ever asks you why you rotrod your van... just let them know... cause its just that much more fun in a box!

    congrats again!
    -Adrian

    (ps, if you do end up running the stocker and not going back, ill take that S2 cam off your hands!) =)

    Thanks Adrian, I do have a video of my 14.2 run, look in the vid section.

    Yeah, alcohol, I just can't afford it yet. I would love to get DevilDoc's system but honestly, I am soooooooooo broke right now,

    Donations anyone?

    congrats on the 13s!!

    I was looking into alky, it's REALLY not that expensive... you could probably have enough money for it just selling a cam or 2......

    $260 US is still alot of money. I am going to try and jury rig something up during the week as there is no way I can get a kit or parts here by next Friday. Thats the last drag race I can do for a month or so,

    Awsome Simon!

    If I were on your shoe string budget, I think I'd try having Rob up the fuel a little.

    You'll get the 12's this year I know it. I had mine running on 10-11 psi two days ago and it was faster than it has ever been.. Well I parked it in the back yard and checked under it for leaks and it was leaking oil pretty bad, so now the engine is sitting on an engine stand in the back yard and I am changing the oil pan gasket and flexplate (yes, I broke another one, this time I actually spun the bolts in the holes and they were oblong, all this in 15 miles on the new setup) Then hopefully get it tuned thursday, then race friday night. My fingers are crossed.

    ^^^^^^^^^^I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you, I am too going back out Friday, trying to figure out how to control my detonation and quickly. Don't have money to buy an alky setup so we'll see what I can figure out.

    About time! Can't wait for 12's man.

    Felt great when you saw that slip didn't it? I screamed like a school girl when I saw mine.
