Hell, Jeff Lawrence was getting 600 hp out of Chevy V6s for Vinny Barone's Super Comp motors.

And what year was this? Stroker small blocks to that displacement haven't been around all that long. V-6 SuperComp motors are an equal comparism. Why not include AA/Fuel motors as well.

As to your comment on building motors, you should go back to the Lightning forum where you're well known as the Italian bafoon that can tune a motor to blow up faster than anyone in the world. Your reputation is well known, and laughed at.

This would have been in the early 90s. Big stroke small blocks have been around plenty long.

As for the Lightning comment, you must be confusing me with some other vendors, since I had the lowest rate of "blown motors" (can count them on one hand in the 10+ years of tuning) among all of my competition. Either that, or you're just reading some over-exaggerated cheerleader for another vendors posts.

Either way, it doesn't matter to me. If you don't want to believe a 600hp small block in the early 90s, that's your problem.

Nope. Have several friends with Lightnings. Your tuning abilities are well known.

He11, after listening to them, I wouldn't let you tune my lawn mower.
I copied this post and sent it to them. I can't wait to hear what they say about the "Fat Italian".

Hate to chime in on this going down in flames thread - but I have a Lightning with a pulley and tune by Sal, specifically because of his reputation on the Lightning and F-150 forums. I think you must have him confused with one of the other tuners - at least one of which I can think of that has such a reputation.

This doesn't sound like the former firm/person your describing in the Lightning community. http://www.f150online.com/forums/lig...-10-years.html

You really need to take a break and lay off the insults.

Hey Bruce....

Are ya feeling the love?

Like how yer conversation on this brilliant car turned into a pissing match between a few???

Anyhoo...I guess yer one up on most guys in this thread actually having road raced that thang. Would love to get back to Beaverun at some point. I'd love to take that Cheetah thru turns 5,6,7 there. Laying low this year, we're planning a move to NC in a year or so.

Do you still have that Trans Am Daytona I got you the race tires for? That was a cool ride too.

Hope all is well.

JM

Gentlmen, I didn't mean to work everybody up THAT bad, just liven things up around here. NC Johnny, Daytona is turning into a Trans-Am Cheetah, sold off the Daytona body. You CrankyClub ******s aughtta make a day trip over here to BeaveRun for the SAAC convention , I'll whip up a few slabs of ribs and stuf . Heck ,you could carpool, ride over in one truck. Then again I wouldn't want to be stuck in the same space as you pisscutters for a 5 hour ride.

Bruce, If I can find the time to go, it would probably be just me and without the 95 Cobra R. Been too busy to even get under the car. Just freeing up time now. I have had the car for over a year now, took it to VIR May '08 and a couple of runs at the road race track at Englishtown, but I need to get to it and make some mods.

Bad enuff yer bribing me with yer world famous ribses. Coax me into coming by dangling that Cheater in my face wit some hot laps at BR.
