Yeah, but you didnt ask him the track temp, or possibly if the track was even treated ... everyone here is quick to call bs without the full story ... kind sad i think [sm=smiley19.gif]... plus you missed his point all together, he was just comparing the two engines with similar work done to them
If the track conditions were really bad his MPH would still be in the ballpark of where it should be. You need to realize that some of usare long time track vets and can spot when things just don't add up. These forums are about use full info , not sitting around the campfire and singing Kumbaya

Im sorry Sir.. I didnt realize I was in the same company as a "long time track vet." I dont know what your trying to tell me by that other than to go "pound sand" andIF it is what your getting at then I believe thats pretty sad coming from an Admin. Which I would expect a little bit more of a level headed response from. Aside from that I would hope you would read what I posted before jumping to conclusions about my character. I simply, I think that needs to be said again... Isimply stated "everyone here is quick to call bs without the full story." So my question is why? Why not just inquire about the full story before calling bs. I never stated that the track conditions had any factor becauseI dont knowif they did or not.I just offered that as a possible reason. I'll admit that I am not a "long time track vet" and can be wrong from time to time ... can you be wrong from time to time?

I have always known JD to be levelheaded and give good advice and information. The thing we are trying to say is that with the numbers all messed up, and with the comparrison that was TRYING to be made, the "full story" is then moot. It doesnt matter how the track was or what conditions were run, because if the cars are not hitting intuitive numbers then SOMETHING is wrong, and that something has so many variables you would need a room full of monkeys and a slide rule to keep it under control.

the longtime track vet remark was simply to say that some people have seen enough timeslips that they can look at a ET and a MPH and say "yes" or "no".

Thanks Spector that is exactly what I was trying to say. Sorry if it came of as rude, but there are times when I have very little time to be polically correct and polite. Between dealing with spammers and reading as many posts as I can to make sure the info is as accurite as possible I can get stretched a little thin. I can say this though, those numbers don't add up, no matter what the full story is. A drag radial and minor bolt on lS1 will go better than 12.8 and should trap around 108-110.
