forgot to mention, when I got back into Temecula last night heading home, I'm cruising down the main drag and all of a sudden the car flys by me "whiiiiippiiiiiishhhhhhh whiiiiiipppiiiiiiisshshhhhhhh".... I look over and it's a yellow MR2 apparently turboed. The guy was acting all bad ***. And since we were cruising and my car is relatively quiet when cruising he probably thought I was stock or something. Who knows.... about that time I look over at my GF and say "oh no he didn't"

Pull up to the next light right next to him... it turns green. I go ahead and let him romp on it, and I just match his speed while he's "all in it" because I know I can waste him... then once we hit about 50 I go ahead and put full pedal in it roasting the tires and spinning loose all over the road while that nice 6k pull roars in his side window... put a bus length on his ***

we keep rolling and the guy had his head down the whole time... wouldn't even look at me, get on it, or anything... I'm like "what happened to all the whiiiiippiiiiiishhhhhhh whiiiiiipppiiiiiiisshshhhhhhh ****..."

cruised the rest of the way home with a big *** grin on my face and the GF laughing her *** off... I didn't wanna go home after that

Ken, you should see if you have a clogged cat... my old firebird did the same thing as what your describing and it was an auto. Found out later it wasn't the tranny like I thought, but the cat was clogged... therefore bogging and not shifting

I'm assuming you have cats of course lol

Hey all:

Brand new Kooks L/T Headers and Kooks X-Pipe with Hi-Flow Cats.

I just got the trans built to stage 5.

Its the Tune. 30MPH to 65MPH it does not kick down a gear when I hammer it, it just boggs. 0-30MPH it comes unglued and 70MPH and above it comes unglued.

So it has a dead spot from 30MPH-65MPH

I already talked to Ryne at CMS and taking it in next week to get fixed.

So when I raced Luis and the other car my car never down shiffted at all. It was like I was in OD. LOL

Reid Next Time I will turn my bottles on. Should be a better run then.
