You're confusing fast with power, I think. I've never been the fastest and probably never will be since my car will likely not see the 1/4 again.
I have good dyno results, but so do Supras. I don't seem to have the technique to get her down the track quick enough.

I'm sure there are other Zetecers that just haven't told us what they ran.

are you calling supras slow? i know there's some fast one's out there, and your 16.9 is respectable. Much faster than me.

Relative to the amount of power they're capable of putting down, they seem to let down more people than they surprise when running the 1/4. They'd smoke my car for sure.

Supra's are funny, 600HP to run a high 12, low 13 second 1/4 mile.

I'm right there with you D. Soon as I hit 13 seconds with nitrous I'm calling it quits at the 1/4 mile and going for SCCA Street Prep. 1/4 mile is fun, but 80mph turns seem so much funner.

UMMM numb nuts hector has ALWAYS had better dyno numbers than me.... and GUESS what he has never been faster than me. and some things I have figured out with this... 1 my tach wasn't reading correctly on their computer. 2 I don't recall them doing any kind of correction to mine like I saw them do to others that dynoed that day 3 everyone that has been in my car can tell it has gotten faster just as I have... times at the track also have showen that since previous dyno. 4 until I can get around to dynoing at the place I normally dyno at I'm gonna assume these numbers are way off.

Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

hey number nuts, i don't pay attention to your's and hector's dyno numbers like a hawk. and i would have figured it was usual dyno. i understand, just afraid of being beaten (by an atx).

and some things I have figured out with this...
1 my tach wasn't reading correctly on their computer.
2 I don't recall them doing any kind of correction to mine like I saw them do to others that dynoed that day
3 everyone that has been in my car can tell it has gotten faster just as I have... times at the track also have showen that since previous dyno.
4 until I can get around to dynoing at the place I normally dyno at I'm gonna assume these numbers are way off.
Yep I love these excuses. You told Kevin you lost power because of a more free exhaust now. Um NO! You would lose torque (like I did). So with a modified TB, chip, and exhaust you lost power. I don't think so. They didn't do any correction, they probably did. Did you ever think that your "small" head gasket leak could be to blame? Stop making excuses and think please.
On the other topic, who cares whos faster? Comparing my ATX numbers and times to the MTX members is ridiculous. Considering the only advantage I have on the other members is the header, my ATX times and numbers are quite good. I'm tired of this.
BTW Joe you might want to change your numbers in your sig.

WHY those are still my MAX numbers... and it was a number of other people since I talked to kevin that though of the uncorrected thing... I hope some day you won't be such a dumbass... ooh and hector your not doing a very good job as a mod... read the rules no flame wars... which you soo much like to partake in

I am not causing any flame wars I'm just suggesting to think about what you had said to Kevin. Your sig is still wrong since your current numbers are not those.
