Nice run Mars. Most guys that run thier stockish C5 vettes get times like that. Thats great for a car that started out with <180rwhp!
That has always been my goal when I finally get my Rx8 to the track. I'm satisfied with my turbo build if I can run what I did in my stockish C5 (12.9s)
We definetly gotta get together this winter once I get through MMs que and get properly tuned. Our cars should match up well, would make for alot of fun!

too much wheel hop would probably happen?
All Juan would have to do to break the 13 sec--is to get rid of about 150lbs of foo-foo stuff( ) he has on the car, skinny tires up front (people are surprised how much that helps) run 100% gas (not ethanol 10%), turn his w/m down, put taller tires on the rear so he can get through the 1/4 in 3 gears, pull the a/c belt, and run without the alternator. Bingo--sub 13 sec car.

Are you still running the stock clutch? Mine has held up well so far, but I've made a point of not launching hard on it or abusing it on shifts. I wonder how long it would last really beating on it at the track.
Yea I usually go in the late fall or early spring. OR ont he milder winter days. Cool but not cold.
Nothing worse than a car making power and cold slippery track
I used to do alot of Runday Sundays at Bradenton and the first few runs int he mornings on a cold day were pointless....spinning out off the top of gears and such.

Its pretty much the guys with BHR logos on there page that are and have been starting ****. Another one to bring up is Slim Shady (MM). He totally crapped on a good friend of mine and caused him to loose interest in helping the RX-8 community remember lolachampcar (Bill Hart). Him and Deon developed the Pettit flash. If he would have had the motivation from the community as a whole we would have even more possibilities with the flash programming.
I have to go cut myself now.

Nope, not a brain mouth thing. I just forget that as a professional in this industry I need to exercise myself in a manner which I'm not making threats, idle accusations or otherwise stirring up a hornets nest that was knocked down a long time ago.
I apologize for acting in this manner as I should have just left this issue alone.

WTF got everyone started? I don't remember anyone from BHR shitting on anyone. Old wounds? Who really give a ****. Let you animosity die and let the posters get back to talking about our accomplishments, troubles and desires.
Moon: If you have a problem with Jeff, start a thread with Jeff and let us all pop up some corn and watch.
My loyalties are with Pettit and BHR and I see no conflict. Jeff is an excellent tuner and I support him. Moon has always been a friend and I support him. None of this should cause me to not post in my own thread (this one was started by me).
Please take personal **** elsewhere. I would enjoy the banter if it had anything to do with the Pettit super charger.
End of rant.

But, it is important to note that Bill (or whoever was on his payroll) had a Florida local (Randall) purchase an AccessPORT from me with my tuning and then hacked the PTM file to use the tuning info in their own release.
Unfortunately (for them), they left my copyright information in the hex, so it was immediately discovered and Cobb propagated their action directly from there.
I didn't have to "pour gas" on anything - Bill's own carelessness caught him out.
I'll be on the east coast for a dyno day in three weeks. Look up the thread.

I apologize, just had a bad night. I just went to catch up on the discussions and had that page saved. It pissed me off seeing those posts as my first readings. I thought it was the middle of a **** storm and had to get my frustrations out. Ill delete it all.
