Upgrading the Badmaro

[AlexTaylor1497]

Hi everybody, you probably don't remember me but I'm Alex Taylor, the girl that went on Drag Week this year with my orange 68 Camaro. I had an old thread on here called "Finishing Up!" but because of school and winter I haven't been on in while. Race season is on its way and I can't wait to be back on the track. But like everyone that races, I want to go faster this year. I had the awesome opportunity to go to the PRI show in Indy and met many nice people and we got a direction to take the Badmaro for this year. I'm really excited today because my new BorgWarner turbos came in! Dads proably going to hold the power back until I have more seat time. But hopefully by Drag Week he'll let me turn it up! As we progress with the build I'll keep this up to date. It will be a slow process but we should have it ready for race season.

Anyway, those ought to up the ante quite a bit!

Make sure you post up on here to keep us updated and better start thinking about getting your NHRA license because that thing is gonna be a rocket.

Nice!

If I copied that pose holding one of my Chinese turbos, it wouldn't be nearly as aesthetic.

Cool.... do you know the specs on those hair dryers ...I can see 055 but whats
the other side.... I am going to a pair of them also but I wont have them on this
year... or on this engine for that matter

Forget Daily Driver for sure. Turbos looking great, have fun with the mods.

I'm just using them to help out the mufflers... LOL

Too cool. Turbos + LS = awesome. Actually, turbo + anything = awesome. It's just a jet engine with pistons in the way.

Here is an opportunity gone wrong. Like I tell my 13 year old all the time, take a breath, think about what you think you want to say for a few seconds, and then decide if it's really the smart thing to say.

Outsider, you are annoying people. Lots of people, and I'm having to hear about it. You seem to be an intelligent guy, so my suggestion in a situation like this, knowing that you are on thin ice with a lot of folks on the forum, would be to start a completely different thread titled "Does Turbo + Anything = Awesome?". You could then have put in your Sprint photos and videos and then come back into this thread with a reply that said. "Hmmmm not sure on the "anything" part. Check out my new thread (insert link to your new thread here.)"

Instead, the public response is that you have hijacked this thread and screwed up Alex's thread about her upgrades for Drag Week.

THINK, and stop posting in this thread.

Thank you Chad ....

Wow - this is uber fantastic - you're a VERY lucky young lady.

As soon as she can she WILL need to go get a NHRA license to match
the ET she will see... even if dad is holding it back

[eligould]

that's awesome! I can't wait to see the progress! i'm diving into an 6.0/4l80e for the first time and planning a single turbo setup. I need some motivation!

Good to see you're choosing to go with turbo's. You won't regret that. Turbo's make for a very driveable car with plenty of power only when you need (or want) it.
