Cmon man.. The last thing I expected was you getting upset.

I'm sincerely sorry that I offended you. I've got nothing but for you and truly want to see you be as fast as you can.

Instead of me trying to translate the information from the guy who set up the suspension on the LPE drag car I was trying to get the two of you to talk. So you can hear it from the man himself...

Hopefully, Jim will get set up as a dealer for Pedders so we can have a local guy in Jax to help us with getting the high end stuff installed.


I'm not hoarding information but Pete is a pretty busy guy and I wanted Him to talk to you.. He'll be much better at explaining all of it...


Again, my apologies for not making that clear and jerking your chain...



I'll be more than happy to make the connection if you'd like... Just say the word.

GTAHVIT is slow, though he would say methodical. He has had his radius bush inserts for over a year and still hasn't installed them Meticulously methodical

Chris and I did have a discussion about drag car set up and I looked at a couple of threads you started.

I run dr all the time and I have seen awd cars on street tires fly off the line faster then me.

Street tires = no traction when its dry. Lol
DR = good traction, driving in the rain sucks!
Slicks = great traction at the track, can't drive on the street

So who on here with 500+ hp isn't having traction problems?
I didn't find a build thread on your Camaro, could you please list out all the mods you have made: engine, drive-line, suspension, wheels and tires?

But i talked to pete and he said that the edelbrock parts are barly better then stock and there a waist of money. He said you told him not to sell me anything before the end of Feb so you could have a chance to beat me in a race. I told him you didnt have a chance but to keep you from crying ill respect his decition.

Thanks pete i guess ill talk to you the end of FEB.
