Back in my younger days I had a 72 Firebird that ran as fast as Mark's TA... yeah right... only in my dreams! HA lol

haha in all our dreams

my dad went 135 in a 35 in Redmond, WA in his 70' Pontiac LeMans back in the day..... he shouldnt have sold that car before i was born

First day out and about with my TA after I got the turbo installed. Not sure yet what it would do and hadn't even boosted it up yet. I was coming down Greenway and had to stop for a red light. This (around '99-2000) Ford lightening pulls up next to me. He yells down "nice TA" and revs the truck up against the converter. I gave him thumbs (no, really I did) and mouthed 'thank you". The light was ready to change and he pulled up on the converter again. I had no idea what the TA would do so I just sat there passively. Last thing I wanted was the TA to act stupid or die or something. But eh light changed and he puilled a hole shot on me so I thought F##k it. This an't happening. So I punched it. I was already at 3500 rpm with my higher stall and it flashed up to 4500 and hit 10 pounds instantly. It broke loose, went to 5800 and stayed there, the rear end sliding just a little to the right but very controlled and I flew past the truck like he was standing still. Next light. He yells down to me. What have you got int here. I just pointed at the intake pipe sticking out of the hood going to the carb and said " just a little turbo". He yelled " holy shit, no wonder I didn't hear you coming" and gave me a thumbs up. My brake foot was shaking because I just realized that I had never looked first to see who was around us. But I was pumped. I walked in the door and my wife said--you tried it out didn't you?? I was smiling from ear to ear. I had told her I wasn't going to do anything until I knew the car better. But what could I do. This is what it sounds like from inside the car under 10 pounds. http://s601.photobucket.com/albums/tt97/marks73turbota/?action=view&current=RobbsVisit014.flv Mark L
