Re: Speedfactory just rocked an 8.18 ~~~WOW~~~
I assure you, the shot was not that big, an the bottle pressure was very moderate.
Funny thing is, is that we always talk about how crazy it is that the cars still on off the shelf skunk 2 pro 1's and 2's..... It truly is amazing.... I'm uncertain whether or not Kevin has ever slapped a different set of cams in the car since 2009, but we just recently swapped my Webs out for a set of skunk 2s, not necessarily that the Webs were insufficient, but for simplicity an commonality between the two cars. We unfortunately have never made full pulls on the dyno with the Skunks on my car to see the difference, but the little bit of Dyno testing we did perform, showed a slight improvement concerning spool, yet showed very similar power characteristics an appeared to follow the previous power curve almost identically. I was very happy with my Webs an would highly recommend them to anyone, the decision was merely made to make James an Kevin's life a bit easier an to allow interchangeability between the cars.
At this point in the game I truly believes it comes down to what you prefer, an what your comfortable with.... SF has always took a lot of bride in simplicity yet effectiveness an it continues to show. Very excited to see MIR results an their continual progression, no doubt in my mind the cars got more in it, it was very clear that the car was capable of utilizing additional power in the lower gears, an you can guarantee that it will see every bit of it at WCF.
Oh, an I assure you, the car is on a off the shelf 7285... No funny business, it's funny to hear the 76mm accusations though, especially when its a turbo any of us could obtain if we had the appropriate means.

Re: Speedfactory just rocked an 8.18 ~~~WOW~~~
I was alluding to WCF with the 200 LOL :O)
I know what you boys were up to out there :O)
What cracks me up is all the people that accused the 76, that nitrous takes anything away form the runs (when the car still broke its own record with out it) , this that web cams. blah blah blah when James KEvin etc are completely forthcoming about what the setup is.
K.I.S.S goes a long long way. I think All of "us" definitely agree on that. For sure.
Thats whats so brilliant about that car.. But people are also not giving credit to James driving.
The fastest car in the worlk dont mean **** if you cant drive, **** I have a 9 second motor in a 10 second car but Im an 11 second driver

KISS definately works...Alot of guys blow their wad on the latest and greatest parts and change their setups 5 times before their cars ever even leave the garage... speedfactory goes to the track,runs what they have,collects data,and busts ***!

Don't really get the Nitrous bashing comments.....
The rules allow it and have allowed it for years.
I'm a motor guy but I wouldn't say "Congrats, car's moving but don't really agree with you using all 2700cc's within your setup" even though it's within the displacement cap.

Speedfactory! 
Great work by those guys! And props to James' driving! Thing keeps clicking off a few hundredths each time out. Running fast, consistent, and reliably. That's a deadly combo and they're making it look easy.
Completely off topic, but why on earth is every word starting with a capital letter?! Was this intentional, or is it whatever you were using to type? LOL

Re: Speedfactory just rocked an 8.18 ~~~WOW~~~
I suppose the 8.1 pass is even less impressive now that you've found out that the car is on a Motec M800 and not an S300. hahahaha LMAO. I just had to throw that out there.
Nitrous...Motec....Skunk2's....Ohhhh Myyyyy

After your PM to me I realized youre just not worth the time. Nor did you understand dude... as made evident by your snide remark to the answer.... I think you dont have a clue.
Im surely not upset, in the least. Its awesome to have had an opportunity to see the car come this far this fast.
Try to spin it all you want.
