B8.5 and B8 First Time to Drag Strip

primetime · December 8, 2019, 4:01pm

Saxon, No I’m not “booted” off any forum… I just choose not to post on vendorzine and since you’ve only been around for a minute I wouldn’t expect you to know why, but my non-posting is by choice…

As for me traveling to race you, I have nothing to prove… I’ve posted all my results along the way, unlike you, and they speak for themselves… I’ve run 11’s in high DA’s and just wanted to offer proof of that, I didn’t expect you to actually come… I’ll most likely race the TTRS anyway if I go…

So if your purpose is to share results and help others make better decisions why did you pull that post as a sample? Why didn’t you post the 30+ other ones from here?

Finally, I don’t take anything personally you say as I could care less… I just hate seeing you steer all the sheep to the wolves just because you went that route…

I’m pretty sure they deleted the previous threads after I reported them and said they were direct copy/paste made without my consent.

Honestly, I have no issue discussing the times (why I made this thread), he could have very simply made a new thread “B8.5 APR stg 2 not performing well” and cited my times or even re-posted my slips. But to simply copy my post (a) minus all pictures and context (b) not referencing the thread here (“audio revolution”); © not providing any new context or commentary or anything of value (one sentence and direct copy & paste); (d) using my screen name so that I should be obliged to defend it.

I’ve published a decent number of conference papers and journal articles, reviewed an equal number…and would say plagiarizing something without the consent of an author goes against everything I’ve come to respect about the dissemination of knowledge. Whether it be an international journal on AIDS research or a car modding internet forum. There’s a reason plagiarism had the most severe penalty in primary school, completely inhibits the ability to independently think.

Anyways, it’s a stupid thread with no real content and will disappear because Saxon doesn’t have the intellect to make it anything more.

Yes +2

Did 17" make any difference to your 1/4 mile times ?

primetime · December 8, 2019, 4:01pm

It wasn’t me who ran them it was Pete’s(autitude) dad’s care… IMO yes they make a difference and are lighter which helps as well… I only run my BBS 19’s and previous to those stock “peeler” 19’s…

Prime time you’re like Brad Pitt in the B8 world. Successful , accomplished, we’ll liked

Saxon is like Screech to your Brad Pitt… Ugly, goofy, and an embarrassment all around.

. He is trying to attach himself to you to gain some notoriety for himself. Just ignore him. He’s a little flea.

As for why they deleted his thread it’s because he mentioned this site. They’re terrified that AR is becoming known as the place to go for info, analysis and progress.

Well said.

Yup, it’ll die pretty soon. Tried to be level headed with him so that nothing would come of that thread. Looks like its already making its way into the lost pages of AZ…

In other news I just bought 034 test pipes from apexit (I think he’s on here). I’ll get those installed sometime next week and update to the test pipe file. On the search for a catback now. Once the temps dip, we should head back out and update this thread. I’ll keep you posted on that like we discussed. Hoping to achieve sub 12.5 times which I think is very doable on the 104 file granted DA and temp is in our favor

Sub 12.5 is extremely doable on race gas. Being slower is almost UN-doable.
