Goals and updates for 2007

[mrsyclone]

What are your goals and updates for 2007?

My goals for Syclone nr. 1 is to run solid 8.5´s, we´ll see about that further on. My major updates is on the chassi this year. Some goodies are also added to the engine.

My Second Syclone is almost ready. The goal for this one is to drive it in the street at summertime. Of course I still have the AC in the car I think it´s capable to run mid. 9´s. I will try to test it this summer. I will post timeslips and videoclips as usual.

Sorry for not being that active on the site. Writing is not my best side, delivering fast timeslips are

Regards Robert

P.S Missing all the good times at NATS!

Robert, I hope you realize you're pretty much one of the coolest people on the planet. I don't know what's cooler saying you can make a 8 sec. pass or saying you can run in the 9's with your A/C blowing :rotf:

Best of luck to you this season and I'll be patiently awaiting updates. :woot:

That's one of the first questions I had for Robert at the Nats.

Well anything under 13 would be cool. Best last year was 13.000 @103. Upgrades at the moment are solid mounts & a Gilbert shaft with some maint issues taken care of. 3" DP is on order. When that gets here it'll be a ported turbo (or better a jwaller unit). When the DP gets here it'll be 3" all the way. A consistant 12 sec stock (eng internals, trans, TC) Sy is my actual goal.

When Robert and the gang were over he stated that his truck was out of injector and he was going to bigger ones. I would guess that was the mods to the engine. Bigger injectors + More boost= 8.5's @ 160

Painting/bodywork

didnt i say that last year? well at least its not the motor again.....

After that, wideband02 and a tune. Vamp racing, the shop that had my truck for all of last summer said they will hook it up on free dyno time because they wasted my summer and money. About the only plus i have from last year.

Goals are simple = to cruise it around as much as possible, Putting 10K miles on my syclone in one summer would make me a happy man.

Rebuild. Push it as far as I can while not blowing it up. Paying off all the bills I've pushed aside while not having enough money to pay them. (ie; everything from electric to cell phone) And to find a house. Scratch that. Be able to find and aford a house.
