Hey Hey Finally the Credit Cards are paying off, well not really, After a few dyno pulls and some tuning, it finally happened, not just one time, 6 TIMES! in a 2 day race weekend, I even dialed the car into the 13's. A few of the slips are posted in my sig, if you want to see my slips i will scan them for my records and will send you a bmp through email if you want, my email is bwenzeljr@yahoo.com. Im not done there, the weather was HOT mid 90's both days, well see what happens when we get a 50deg fall night
(13.60's 100mph+ ALL MOTOR) See ya in Union Grove, WI

2450 with you in it? NICE.
Mine is 2750 with me in it and I'm 220.
Good to hear....but wheres the video? dyno or track will do. I wanna see up graph.
nice time ben.....really nice times
congrats. nice time. i like the 60ft too. thats where i hurt the most.(2.4 average)
btw, what made u go with such a low comp ratio piston and a stage 3 cam?? more aggressive cams like a higher comp.. and if u were building for boost. there would be no need in getting that radical of a n/a cam.

He was building the motor for boost but decided to take down the NA list first. He got the Stage 3 cams so he could get as much out of the car as possible before he boosts it. When he boosts it he'll probably change the cams too.
How do I know? I sponsor the f00 and he tells me everything. LOL. Like how he enjoys screwing skwirls.....oops. Wasn't supposed to tell you that.

Very nice, and not begging for attention. I like this guy
.
Damn sweet..i cant wait to get my eco there..but what has he done cause he has barely anything done to get that low of times? phil
when we were putting the motor together in the winter months. we were hoping just to keep times into the 14 sec zone. break the motor in and put the 12 to 1 together. things sure change in a few times down the track.

His profile doesn't begin to tell you everything. You gotta ask the man himself if you want the facts.
Joe: That's why I like Ben. He's done something amazing and all he does is make one post and disappear again. So modest.....until this weekend. LOL.

Congrats Ben!!!!
I can smell lower times real soon.....
Good luck with everything.
lower times are already here....but ill let ben tell you guys how fast it was...
We made it home safe . I had a great time meeting and talking with all who showed. Hope to see all next month.
What a record setting and amazing weekend I bet your all wondering what i did to go that fast? Well Dave and I talked it over and said we should lay out or cards out first and see what happens next. I raized my shift points 600 rpms and let er go, wow its strange to shiftt into 3rd about 500' down the track and sit back for the ride there after. I launched at 3630 and shifted twice at 7500 and went through the traps at 7802. Second run launched 3525 and shifted at twice at 7600 and went through the traps at 7792. Had a great time after a 14 hour and 800 miles round trip, well worth the trip.
Had a few grudge races ya win some you lose some,
