on 4-18 TJ, ben, and i went out tuning and got my psi levels back where they should be, 20psi on pump gas. we got a good tune down, and headed out to Dawg dogs on 28th street. once we got there my buddy scott with a 383 camaro z28 and his friend with a LT1 TA with bolt ons were already there. we got to talking and i was telling them about getting my car running better, and of corse they wanted to go run them. last year i had a hard time beating his TA, because he just had top end on me. we never go from a dig because he knows I'll kill him. lol so we got on the highway slowed to about 45, and we both hit it. i timed it just right so there wasn't much lag, and he never stood a chance. we were side by side until i started to pull in the higher rpm's and then i just started walking away. heres a vid that a random F-Body guy shot from scotts z28. he just left it in 4th gear and crused so the camera guy could actually videotape it. www.joeldevriendt.com/files/public/automotive/mifbody/08_4_18_dawg_dogs/MVI_7064.AVIThen here was a bad video of me attempting to race the 383 camaro. i was on the wrong side so you never really see my car, and hes just so damn fast. but it a good vid of his car pulling hard. www.joeldevriendt.com/files/public/automotive/mifbody/08_4_18_dawg_dogs/MVI_7067.AVIThats all. I hope to get some better vids of my car this year, we gotta get some during the day in a quieter car so we can here mine.

if the 383 is black with vett breaks, it's a 11/10 second car

Yeah Aaron works with him it is a high 11 second car at 123mph. Not the fastest thing, but really well put together and very sleeper. Pop the hood and all that you can see is a throttle body, listen to it run and it has a very mild cam shaft so there isn't much of a thump to it. But man o man v8s are fun to ride in. Insta torque in every gear and this one has some serious top end to it.

i'm currently using an 18g turbo, with 272 hks cams, 3in turbo back exhaust, 255 pump with 650cc injectors and megasquirt for the tune. i was running about 18-20 psi. its a pretty conservative tune right now. so when you see me in the day i like to puff a good amount of black smoke. its a different tune, but same setup that got me a 12.76 last year. with more fine tuning and a little more boost i should have a mean car this year.

Little more boost? We need to throw a bunch more at it and get that 18g where it likes to be

i love it, i personally have only a small idea on how it works. TJ is the one responsible for the tune, but i do like how much control we get overall. out of all the cars i know running MS, i'm the one that has the most problems (idle, normal driving, startups) and i still love it if that tells you anything.
