Hey Chris,

Thanks for the encouragement, and I appreciate all the kind words from everyone.

BTW, I tried to e-mail you at the last known address, but I guess it didn't go through.

I don't have the turbo to get into the 9s, but getting in the 10s should be possible. However, I need help with all the stuff unrelated to the powerplant (i.e. suspension, wheels, tires, launching the car, driving, burnout, etc.) ironed out. Any chance you can help out? We can take it offline if you want.

Thanks!
-scott

P.S. I'm going to TX2K6. You going?...

Hey Scott,

Try emailing me at christhreadgill@ameritech.net or chris.threadgill@sas.com

I'd be more than happy to discuss suspension/tire setups. Btw, I did in fact run a 10.07 with an SP71 turbo , that may have been on a slick with a 1.56 60ft, but you can see that turbo is POTENT!!! I think with the right tire you should nail 10's without blinking an eye. I even had my eibach/kyb setup on and that wasn't the best setup for launching. Shoot me an email and we can discuss.

I should be attending TX, however I will not be finished with my car (big plans for 06' ) so I may just be there to spectate. This time you get your car down their and give ME a ride

Chris,

I'll send off an e-mail tomorrow. Thanks in advance for the help.

Ed! Glad to see you're still at it. However, my car will *never* look as good as yours.

PHLSingle, I don't know what you're driving, but we'll have to bump into each other at the event.
