Talking Justin gets blown

Well Guys,

It has been a week and I was able to keep it a secret. I put Marcus Harrison Blow on my truck. It is a BD12 Power Dyne with a 9psi Pulley on it. Today I went to the track and truned a new best time with the truck. No Sorry, I did not see the 14s ( I know some of you wanted to see me get into the 14s) Instead I just over the 14s and went right to the 13s. Ran my first pass with the blower today and it was a 13.917 @ 99.81 MPH.
From there I did a best of 13.703 @ 101.38 MPH. With a little more tuning and some good weather I think there is mid 13s in the truck.

Dennis really had no clue, and Captain was waiting for something but did not know what.

Yes I was clueless. Mr Gazoo , we have a new race team called sneeky pete racing As I gazed in amazement at my time slip , Captain told me that Justin just ran a 13.90, his pass was right behind me. I thought, Yea right or maybe the timers are off MMMMMM???? Back to the pits and wala, it was like David copperfield performed the ultimate magic trick. I was a little leary on the ride to the track by the way Justins truck accelerated, rather briskly I thought Damm his truck is running good!! too damm good. All in all I can't believe he kept it so quiet. Great job Justin what a scam you pulled.

Hey Justin,
Congrats on the new best time. It feels pretty damn good with all that sucking going on, doesn't it? (Sucking air into S/C, under the hood of course ) With 101mph trap speeds, your truck has got to have a 13.5 in it! Keep at it!

Way to go Justin! What secret, who's keeping secrets? What is this Sneaky Pete Racing? Is someone getting a new cam, Stroker shortblock, what? Electric fans, new pulleys. Somebody better let the cat out of the bag. We can't have secrets in the DelValley.....uh.....oh...wait....mailmans here fellas, gotta run .

Nice Job Justin, I knew you could do it!!!! Also welcome aboard to Team Powerdyne. I wish I was at Cecil County , sounds like you guys had a blast making FAST Passes, one after another... I have a few tricks to help you out Justin. Soon enough if all goes as planned you'll be running mid to low 13's.
Keep up the Good Work Justin & you are the most improved for 2001."Let's Roll"!!!!!
---------------------------------------------
Dennis is now the man to beat. That 12.55 Pass was very fast!! I'm very impressed Dennis. I didn't think you would go quite so fast as that but WOW!!!! I felt though that if anyone in DelValLO Club was to beat me , it would be you because the DYNO Machine Doesn't lie....Your The Man Dennis, Great Job Again!!!!!!!
---------------------------------------------
Larry I know your up to no good but I'm glad that you are. Let's keep uping the ante & hell soon at this rate of progress we'll all be in the 11's by next season...LOL..Anyway I hope that package didn't say like D.S.S. on it because that would mean You are looking to send that truck in the 11's for sure.. Good Luck Larry,"You Can Do It"!!!!
---------------------------------------------
As far as my plans go , I wanna put the White 95' Lightning in the low 12's before getting in the Turbo Truck for the 2002 season. I will probably go with Roller Cam Conv., 24 # Injectors, & Intercooler before I stop with this truck. (NOS) was an option but I passed on the idea. Hope all is good with everyone, talk to you later,

Hey Ralph (with all do respect) I know if you were there you would have spit out great # too, probally a little better than mine. Sometimes you need to be at the right place at the right time. When I saw captain's great pass of 13.22 I know I was at the right place. Ralph I know you have one hell of a fast truck and very capable of lower 12 sec passes. My truck gave it all she had and there was nothing left in it, thats why after 4 passes I called it quits. I had 2 other runs in the 50's range, so now I know that pass wasn't a fluke! I only put on the electric fans to give me clearance for a pully upgrade but now I know I can't just put the pullies on. The truck is at it's limit as for as fuel delivery. I need larger injectors, revised FMU along with the 8 rib pully upgrade and probally a chip burned for better tuneing. I don't want the truck to run slower, so I am being very careful not to screw things up. Funny thing tho, Justin and I felt that if we made passes later on in the night we might have even ran better cause it ran great coming home on pump gas with the retard turned back to the street going setting. I am not here to rub it in and I know you wish you could have been there but I KNOW you would have posted a better number than the one you have now. Doesn't it suck thinking about what could have been. And Larry get your truck fixed, the racing just ain't the same without you and Staci Your truck is very fast too now get it right!!! It's a shame I wanted to line up againts an r/t or two but all I raced was sub 12 sec cars. Ask Captain, I gave that tubbed out Vega a run for it's money till the 1000' mark

WELL, JUSTIN IS A REAL SNEEKY S.O.B. ISN'T HE? I KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP CAUSE HE'S BEEN REAL SHADEY LATELY, JUST WHAT? THEN I SAW THAT BLACK BIT@H TAKE OFF DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND SAID TO MY BUDDY NEXT TO ME, I BETCHA HE GOT A BLOWER. THEN HE DIDN'T POP HIS HOOD IN THE PITS. HHHHHHMMMMMMMM I THOUGHT. AND AFTER WIPING THE DROOL FROM MY CHIN AFTER MY 13.22 PASS, AND STUTTERING AT DENNIS'S PASS, JUSTIN'S 15 SECOND WONDER WENT 13.93?!?! NO WAY! I HAD TO RUB MY EYES AND LOOK AT THE TRAP BOARDS AGAIN. YEP, HE WENT 13.9.......WOW!

AT LEAST I DIDN'T GET BUMPED FROM THE TOP 10, AND I PICKED UP SOME INSURANCE NOW, LOL. TILL SNEEKY COMES OUT W/ SOMETHING ELSE!

I ACTUALLY CAN'T BELIEVE MY TRUCK WENT 13.22 ON A 100 DRY SHOT. I ALMOST GAVE THE TIMESLIP GUY A BIG WET KISS.......WELL.....UH.......I WASN'T THAT EXCITED, BUT CLOSE ENOUGH!
I DROPPED 4 TENTHS W/ ONLY PUTTING THE 15/7 WHEELS ON THE FRONT, THE FIBERGLASS HOOD, AND A NITROUS BOTTLE HEATER. I DOUBT THE HOOD & WHEELS DID MUCH, BUT THE HEATER MADE MY PRESSURE PERFECT. THE TRUCK RAN CONSIDERABLY CONSISTENT AT 13.22, 13.37, 13.33, 13.42.
I TALKED TO JIM @ JDM TODAY. HE SAID I'LL PROBABLY DROP 3 TENTHS W/ IT TUNED. I'M TOYING W/ THE IDEA OF PUTTING THE NOS BIG SHOT UNDER INTAKE KIT ON, JETTED AT 150. I HAVE IT SITTING HERE, WHY NOT, LOL?
I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THIS ALL, I WASN'T PLANNING ON RUNNING 13'S WHEN I BOUGHT IT, LET ALONE 12'S. COULD 11'S BE POSSIBLE W/ THE STOCK MOTOR?! (DOUBT IT) THE TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, LMAO. I DUNNO, RIGHT NOW, I JUST WANT A 12 SECOND TIMESLIP (REMEMBER WHEN ALL I WANTED WAS A 13.99?, LOL).

12 SECOND CLUB, HERE COMES THE CAPTAIN............................

Hey guys.

TEAM SNEEKY here.

I just wanted to see what would looks I would get when I turned a really fast pass. And then having you guys think that It was just running good. HeHe

I love having this thing on the truck. Now all I need is a converter, heads, trans, and and well something.

All I can say is I am one happy camper.

Justin you got it and you got it bad. I don't think there is hope for you. Just ask the guys with blowers on their truck.

(Once your blown you can't leave it alone)

Man I'd hate to see your Christmas list
