Hey Paul thank's for sending him my way. He is on the way home as we speak in his Falcon and it is running sweet at a cost of $50. Him and his girl are good company and we enjoyed working together on his car.

I am sure that he will thank you in return simply because his car is back on the road and he didn't have to lay in tranny fluid to do it.

Thanks again,

Chris

That is almost as much as he has in the whole car!:D :D I think it is a pretty neat little ride... I am glad that you were able to help him out....I told him that if anyone could, and would have the time, space, and opp, it would be you! I am trying to talk him into spraying the car before he makes any changes just to see if my little 306 can get into the 6.9x range on a small hit! he is only geared 3:55 so that would be good. Thanks again for the VC's. Fairlane has come a long way from 18 months ago...:) Paul.

Well with the 9 NOS bottles and the filling station on the wall 3 feet behind his car while it was here, the subject of adding juice came up more than once. :D

There is more in the car now, seeing as it has never even seen a tune, everything is as it was "straight outta the box"! I am trying to get him to bring it to Shawn... Maybe you can make Fairlane see the wisdom of bringing it to him,... I am sorta like the Dad, you gotta hear it from Somewhere else to believe it:D

So its the juice and then the tune . . . :tongue:
I can't thank you enough for helping me out and experiencing the joy of using air tools and a lift. It was great to drive it home last night on the backroads.

And don't worry, a kit will be on it but I would like the motor to be running as well as I can afford first. That and have more than 2 passes at the track under my belt.

Man I really enjoyed your company so don't sweat that part...I tried calling to make sure your trip home went ok.

You guy's need to head down with us on July 9th. You can make 10-15 passes easily and it is on a Saturday.

As for the juice, I think you will be well into the 7's with a 100 shot depending on the weight, etc. I am ready to find out when you are. :D

Hmm then he will drop deep into the 7's with ease. I think I would have to run a 150 shot and see how close to the 6's he could get... I bet it would be a lot closer than he is thinking.

Do you think he could dip in the 6's??? It would be very interesting to see.

7.0x ...But he needs more seat time.... all we were shooting for was an 8.80 ca with the 3:55's and got a surprise there on worn out ET Streets. Which I cannot believe that he drove home all the way from Monroe on:eek: I would have thought the better of 7 or 8 passes on those:D I think the B cam will like the juice on his set-up

If my tire machine wasn't broke he wouldn't have drove home on them. I couldn't believe that he still drove it either. :eek:

And it was raining pretty good.

I have heard from a ton of people that the B cam isn't good on Nitrous but my wife's car has proven otherwise. There were several that said it would do fine but for the most part it wasn't a NOS cam.

I think he should stick some MT DR's on that thing and a 150 shot and take a ride down the track...:D

I am sure that he wouldn't have minded the company while driving home the other night on the ET streets in the rain. :eek:
