im sure he has a good reason for not saying anything yet, but i think he will be honest with his answer either way, he won't push something if he doesn't believe in it.

the reason i havent answered is because i just got home from being in the god damn rain all morning! LOL we ran everything through the production A main this morning after running everything up to C main last night. then the winds and rain came through and destroyed a number of easy ups and what not...track was soaked and it rain during most of the mains.
I put my Vspec in because i could not get that motor tuned all weekend. I shoulda asked smolnik for help but didnt like an idiot. ran hot like 230 then lean bogged when i got fuel. I tried just couldnt get her to run right. I am not giving up on it yet. I was just worried about this being a big race and not being able to run well in my heats.
On another note, panther is a joke of a company they sponsor this race and put out a "brand new" crime fighter replica tire and give it to only their sponsored guys for the most part. Way to show the customer how much you guys care. Oh and all the door prizes were PROLINE stuff. They didnt give out any panther tires till Dom started complianing LOL....and Proline tires toook the win...
...sorry for the rant been a long weekend

panthed does suck as a company. not going to buy any more of there stuff, i'll figure out how to get by without it.
i have a 06 ops torque and it rips. they are "slightly" different, but here's how i tune/tuned mine. get it so it's fat on top and on bottom. lean the low speed so it only bogs up top, then lean the top until it clears out. exergen it once after a tank, 200 or less(imo) and you're good to go.
works for me, and makes my x5 haul!

Yeah I saw the pic of the tire it looks just like a CF.

Radical 621P(aka Rocco 5000)!!! - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 06-18-2006

Radical 621P(aka Rocco 5000)!!! - 72dolphins - 06-18-2006
for a radical/ops, 230 is very hot.
Radical 621P(aka Rocco 5000)!!! - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 06-18-2006
andrew smolnik, Jose Zayas and all the other OPS drivers were running around that temp all weekend
Radical 621P(aka Rocco 5000)!!! - HAGASAN - 06-18-2006
230 IS HOT? What they run good at? Everybodys motors were running hot during the mid afternoon, I even had to lean the low end on mine 2hrs as it got rich. Came in at 276 after the 3rd qaul.
Mike did the A-mains start or they cancel them out? It was pouring when i left.

Mike,
How did the radicals that where there run?
Radical 621P(aka Rocco 5000)!!! - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 06-18-2006
the guys that had new ones with less than a gallon on them seemed to have a little trouble keeping the tune, but anyone who had a gallon plus on theirs stayed consistant all weekend...guess i just gotta pump this baby full of fuel
Radical 621P(aka Rocco 5000)!!! - rocco79 - 06-18-2006
So the b-main was messy huh? what happened to romers car? he said on the grid it was in a bunch of pieces???
Radical 621P(aka Rocco 5000)!!! - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 06-18-2006
it was muddy he means he tore it apart, we raced in the rain, my RB ran like chit so i pulled it and had minimal water damage lol
Radical 621P(aka Rocco 5000)!!! - rocco79 - 06-19-2006
Thats better than gettin your ass kicked and then having to scrape 2 lbs of mud off it
Radical 621P(aka Rocco 5000)!!! - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 06-19-2006

Radical 621P(aka Rocco 5000)!!! - cemeb4dk - 06-20-2006
play with the engine anymore yet mike?
Radical 621P(aka Rocco 5000)!!! - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 06-20-2006
no i havent had a chance to yet, I talked to Dom at IRC and he said it is normal for it to run a little hot for the first gallon or so and then the temps should drop significantly and the power will increase...I guess i just pussed out when it came in at 230 lol
Radical 621P(aka Rocco 5000)!!! - cemeb4dk - 06-20-2006
