Default Insomz vs STROKD cammed LS3's have it out.

First run we were locked he had a very slight pull till I shut down top of 3rd because he had cars ahead. I gave him a lane.

Second run he said he did not spray. I think that's a pretty amazing 4th gear then. He put 2 on me in 4th gear.

If he was spraying he would have walked you harder then that up top even on 100 shot, you can count on at least a 8-10mph difference.

I love those kinda runs! Good Racin' right there. Also got a laugh out of how you both jumped before the third honk. Some street racing veterans right there.


As my friend used to always say: "It's only a early jump if the other guy doesnt go."

I don't miss it at all really. For what it cost me to make it run decent I sold it and got this Vette. Its faster than my Cobra would have been with a large twinscrew lol. Plus it handless and stop and looks better to me anyway.

Insom- I didn't spray u. We were dead even through third both runs. I have a shorter 4th gear and a much larger cam so I'm pretty sure that's why I took off in fourth. Plus with your weight of prob 150 or so lbs prob is why there was so much diffference at high speeds. If we had gone to top of my fifth it would have gotten worse. Plus if I had sprayed I would have to arm it and it takes 3 to 5 seconds for the window switch to activate which would have been way after fourth gear not to mention my car gets twice as loud when it hits..

Impressive. It runs really good. I bet your car traps high 120s.

Now Feldman/Whitlightning is anxious to pick on me too.

Go figure. Feldman is a big big big benchracer.

I think strokd trapped 121 in left lane at dr the other weekend. That lane is off by 3mph. So I think it would have trapped 124 if it wasn't messed up. He may chime in later

If you r goin to dr tonight, run in the right lane. It is only off about 1.5 mph.

Feldman watches his prey. He won't race unless he knows he'll win. I don't think strokd's car is high 120s in this heat. I only trapped 127.

Joe, i know you are not THIS dumb.
I have lined up and raced PLENTY cars much faster then mine and making alot more power then me.
Both Strokd AND insom make REAL similar power to me and im alot heavier then both..

YOU are the only person i have no desire to race because of your constant Douchebaggery and general way you act.

my car doesnt have much.

3.90s Z06 ratio transmission (base car not a Z51 trans)
G Force cam (bout same as a G6x3 with more duration and a wider LSA)
Cold Fusion 100 shot
Kooks SS 2" LTs and a 3" X that shrinks to a 2.5 Corsa Sport cat back
Vararam

Thats it I can think of... Last night I was on a drag pack so I think that helped lose a little bit of weight even though I had bmxer with me and he's HUGE!

That's what you keep saying but no one is buying it.

How do you plan to do that? They are real strict there. 11.5 and faster you are done!
