nonsence... exactly that. thread is heading O.T. lets keep it O.T and ask informative questions such as axles, how does the hydra drive? can you feel its there? does the car "buck" like the utec? or its a smooth transition? if you was to change something or want vinny to had changed anything what would it be?
how confident are you on smashing that pedal at your high boost?. how easy is it to change from 700+whp to 5xx whp? can you do it on the fly? or have to stop and fiddle with the ecu or boost controller? would the hydra ever support e85 or its just straight pump?

INFORMATIVE QUESTIONS..

Ditto, great torque numbers too. Only thing the build list leaves in question is whether or not there was an increase in bore with those sleeves.

3.5 untouched, just sleeved, but Im sure that people will say thats not true too, or tell me to open the motor back up and lets see. Geez I would've expected people to doubt Obama on the capture of Osama but not VTR on my build.

Asking for dyno sheets as if we would post a thread making up numbers what non sense, questioning a legend and record holder on his builds or asking him for information he worked soo hard for, this community should be ashmed of themselves

Zmedic, I don't know you or have ever met you but I guess you have seen my car. Thanks for the nice comments.

Instead of us talking dyno numbers this, dyno numbers that, why don't we do a couple of heads up races at the track and see how everyone's builds hold's up?

That would be awesome except there would be a bunch of 2.5 60's and people showing up on 20 inch volks wondering why they are running 13's with 500hp lol.

I’d race when my car’s back together… but I have a case of post-traumatic stress disorder from the last time I went to the track and bent a rod ; I’m going to need a prescription for some amitriptyline, fluoxetine, and sertraline first, lol.

Now you're just throwing fuel into the fire... alot of people have been burned _badly_ on this forum, don't forget that. Let's keep the insults to a minimum if you don't want your thread locked or deleted.

Alwaysonboost yes i seen the car.. beauty to say the least. allot of guys here still have a sour taste in their mouth from failed motors, shops ect.. its good to have VTR join this community. he already has a th400 swap kit ready on order. hopefully we can turn this into a more pro-active forum like the dsm's n supra guys. its great to see a sleeved motor(once thought so unstable) make great constant power without lifting heads or blowing up every so often. enjoy the car!! thats what you payed for thats what you got!

This has nothing to do with my failed motor. All I did was post the complete truth.

I guess I was the only person Adrian was elusive with about his build with and was told that Vinny doesn't like other people knowing whats under the hood.

I suppose there have been VTR build threads in the F/I forum for the past 3 years and I've missed them.

How many VTR cars are there on the top 50 list?

OP, I'm sure your car is the beast I always wanted mine to be. Drive it hard every day and enjoy it forever. I am glad a solid shop like VTR has become a sponsor and I hope they can make contributions to the community as a whole.

I can only dream of 2.5 60's... and I run on 17 or 18" wheels, but I think my 500 hp could easily net me a 12's run

Don't care at all about the whole "giving away secrets" debate... but THAT (to me) is just awful forum etiquette from a sponsor. That is all
