I'm just hoping Jan and LB have a way to see if hose coatings work. I've been wondering if they'd have any affect on temps on the supercharger air horns or not.

Brian: Congrats on getting your project completed ... can't wait to see/hear the results. Did you ask for a raise to cover the costs of your obvious illness? Is it covered by your (mental) health insurance program?

My face would have a permanent Joker smile if my mini had what LB's power was BEFORE the stroker... I can only dream of what it would be like after this is all done ...

Ok LB, Quit paint/polishing/waxing the thing and put it in the car. I'm getting tired of checking the thread for updates!

If you have to "spray" it......it wasn't fast to begin with


ROTFLMAO Love the new sig Jan, but correct me if I'm wrong but you dont know what 12s feels like and I've run one without spray, so your Mini's cant be fast period..............

as usual... Paul is wrong AGAIN........
the word you are looking for is QUICK not FASTEST
because my car ran the Fastest on street tires even on the back straight of a road track... NOT A PREPARED DRAG STRIP
Yes, it's faster than your turbo cars too ....

You would hope it was 3 mph faster with another 20k pumped into it, but on street tyres I've been 12.0 at 118.

Paul, you and everyone reading that knows that's all track prep, and drag racing setup on the car. Now how about keeping it on topic of LB's car.
