Greg, you truly represent the "Monte Carlo Dream". I could watch this video, as well as your other Test Run's, for hours on Repeat. You're my hero, ZIPPY! It's a dream of mine to someday eventually meet you and see (and hear) that gorgeous Monte in action! I still hope you will guide me in my post-High School turbo build! Who knows, maybe someday it will be worthy enough to travel down the 1/4 mile along-side of you!

I haven't seen that group shot with our names under until now that's pretty awesome!

Greg I have some 30mph-100mph pulls and 50mph-110mph pulls with turbo Monte on my old setup and I am just curious to compare the videos to see how much faster you are compared to my old setup to get an idea

Lol, I run anyone and anything, its all in fun. Only thing I will say is I think your under estimating turbo Monte... turbo Monte should be making near the same amount of power as Greg's Monte. Yes my signature says 384whp but that was on a very old setup and I hit the ceiling of the maf around 4000rpms and at that point was flooding in fuel.... I have 384whp listed because as of now that's all I can back up but I assure you in the spring I will be making way more HP than that. I'm estimating 550-600whp in the spring. I will be on the Dyno in the spring to know for sure what she is making and once I do that I will update my sig with the new HP numbers.

A quick story that makes me chuckle every time I think of it.... a local car club I belong to had a new member join and come to a meet. We were all bsing and turbo Monte got brought up. The new guy goes wait you own that? So I said yea and he goes "dude this spring I seen you going down the highway and I tried freight training past you and once I got right beside you I heard you get on it and next thing I know I'm not passing you anymore your pulling away and spinning tire all at the same time! I just gave up at that point I knew I didn't have a chance"

Hearing things like that from people I don't even know is plain out awesome! Lol

John you and Greg have crazy wicked set-ups for sure...... If you want, I'll run you, but lets put the video camera in mine, that way you'll have some awesome winning footage, does the camera have zoom, I might need it?...
