Default I think my neighbour is nuts...

So Im having a coffee on my doorstep with my neighbour who owns an 03 GTP.. 3.8L home brew CAI, 2.25 pulley, tune.

And were figuring out who would win in a drag race. Obvoiusly I surrender, a 3.5L isnt going to outrun a modded 3.8 S/C, when he says "I just got the secret weapon too.. Cost me $60 bucks!"

So we walk over to the Grand Pee (lol) and he opens the trunk, all I can see is this 20L drum. I give it a sniff and it smells like kerosene. I rotate this drum and it says Racing Fuel, 20L and it hasflamable sticker.

I dont belive him at first, so being an army trucker I pulled out the Handbook to dangerous goods and I read up on it, its racing fuel all right, to the tune of 120-130 Octane..

My question is, and the S/C guys can probably tell me more about this, but at that level of tuning, aint that gonna reek havok on his car?

he's probably a member of oqcgp and i've heard them talking about that recently, i only kind of browse that site every once and a while, they're not the friendliest people in the world like ours

i would personally stay away from it, his car should run fine the way it is, but maybe he's just trying to keep up with the guyz that are turbocharged...i dunno

that is the smallest pulley i have ever heard of and using race gas i think is just stupid and a big waste of money.

What's wrong with them? We all know how good they work from the sales pitch (liquid pouring from one bottle to another bottle).

Besides the 3,000 decals I put on my car for x-tra horsepower I also installed the Turbonator cause I want to run with the big dawgs.

WHY......... do you think we're all such good friends on here? [sm=smiley2.gif]

PS. If those men in white coats get too close, tell them you know a real life space man. They'll leave you alone. For a while.
