Default Re: COPO Horsepower adjustments

I guess a lot of people are missing the whole point here the point is not get hp added or weight or an index changed because of a stupid decision when you don’t need it to happen. But I guess if it happens you just have to deal with it so we will deal with it and understand what kind of people we are dealing with. As far as some of your comments Gary I have a few responses for you. I’m not the chapter president of your company you are. Also you mispelled and forgot a few words in your sentences. Dont need a participation award for anything that you do for fun the awards come in the winners circle. Not to worried about about making changes to my racing program from this because You see not that hard to do when you run the whole thing yourself. You sure did say a lot of mumble jumbo nonsense in your post especially about me being mad or jealous or butt hurt sorry I don’t get that way cuz nothing hurts my feelings can’t hurt them when you don’t have any when you realize what your dealing with. Also you can call me what you want I’ve been called everything you can imagine. some people call me by my name some call me Copo kid and some call me everything else. Doesnt bother me at all sorry. I have to admit I got the rise out of these posts I was expecting and I have had a lot of laughs that’s for sure very entertaining and I’m sure it is for everybody reading them. I’m sure it’s being talked about a lot. Cracker Barrel ? Never heard of such a thing. I listen a lot and dont say much and I’m still learning stuff everyday because I don’t know everything and don’t care to. I dont worry about what anybody else is doing unless it affects what I’m doing then I pay attention. Just like when I mentioned boost numbers well when you have to know your racing operation from start to finish and your a one man team I guess you should probly know your boost numbers and more. You see it’s easy to tell or have an idea of what’s going on then cuz you have to know. some people dont know and don’t understand. After understanding everything and what it takes running an operation yourself you have a pretty good idea of what needs to be done to accomplish what you want to do with what you have to work with. Another thing I don’t need to make my car faster I already accomplished what I need to without any help and I’m still learning more and more everyday. Now with the added weight that was not needed not a big deal so I’m not mad or pissed because I understand what we are dealing with. I can make a few changes and be right back where I was and I get to work with added weight and placing it where I need it to fine tune it some more. Just like grabbing the next tool out of your toolbox. Not to worried about being fastest guy when stock eliminator is dialed in class anyway until you meet up with heads up race. When that time comes we deal with it then no big deal. So when you understand your car inside and out and your combination and what it is capable of and u see numbers that are put up usually you will have a good idea of what it takes to get there. Some people know and some don’t not my problem and don’t care so congrats. But if your gonna make a statement don’t quite where you did because it looks alittle obvious you need to keep going and do it over and over again. After all this time you are trying to say everybody building a motor for the shootout is wasting their time and money when all they had to do was put a tune in their (stock from chevy 100% original motor). If it was me I would just order a couple more and put a tune in them for 1/2 of what the shootout motor cost. I’m sure everybody in fs/xx is gonna laugh at that because a lot of them have tuned their factory stock motor in their car to go as fast as possible and realized they are just gonna build a car for it with everything that is done like that one and build another motor. Just for the record the stock from chevy Copo supercharged motor comes with 3.50 pulley not the 3.25 but you can use the 3.25 pulley in stock because that is legal. Funny all the other stock supercharged copos with 3.25 pulleys couldn’t run those numbers at Vegas instead they were all usually .5 slower or more? I’m sure they had theirs tuned to run as fast they could at that altitude track. I bet all the other copos now will be in the shootout next year to when they put a tune in their stock motor from chevy. can’t wait gonna be interesting year coming up. Fs/xx class is awesome and fun to watch so I will pay attention more and more and hopefully learn something that I’m missing according to some prior posts. But in the meantime I will still work on my changes because of the added weight since I work on it all myself. One last thing I finally decided to join class racer this year instead of reading posts for years and years by not being a member so as you can tell I’m not on here to worry about any other racer in any other class about what’s going on unless it affects my racing operation or class. so I will not post or comment on any other issues or problems or bash anybody about who they are- what their name is -or what they have that’s not me and don’t care. I’m just a racer having fun and enjoy doing what I’m doing not worrying about anybody else.
Not saying anything bad about Nhra but when you have a tech guy argue with a guy in the staging lanes about the cage being expired and it’s still good for 1 more year you have to sit there and wonder if they are actually checking stuff like they should or know what they are looking for according to their rule book that they try and follow just sayin.
