Lemme be a little more clear. Fireballed Racing was an endeavor... One that cost MANY people allot of time and money. Fireball is a person. He took credit and money from all of the people who were making Fireballed Racing happen. LONG before it was Fireballed it was Hubie at that time SPI/MEGAmini. Along with a few people including my self. We took the MINI into a true TUNER level car. Breaking HP barriers that most thought to be impossible. Others have claimed to make numbers but never proven it. Fireball has nothing to do with that other than stealing from other's hard work. When it was run on Pinks All Out running consistent 10s and later made the 635 WHP (which is 730 HP based on 15% drive train loss) was made it was ABF Performance/MEGAmini. That's my point.

As for undertanding the difference between NOS and Turbos. I am well aware. We played with NOS ALLOT in our search of a 10 second MINI. There is a huge difference in how these things work.

As for your "secrets" I have commented on "secrets" before. Those who keep them are only hurting them selves. Kicking around ideas with others is the only way to truly learn and expand things. I think we all know of people who keep "secrets" and yet they never back it up either when they do stuff. I have no respect for that. (not saying that is you just giving my example) I have also said I can give anyone the formula to make 600 HP. It doesnt mean they can do it. It takes more than a few things strapped to a motor.

Most importantly, Good luck! I hope you can make the power you are going for and maybe run a number. Be ready to back up what you do with real Data... for fun or not. I personally wanna know. This community has been plagued with liars and thieves and and and... Im tired of it.

Hubie and I always did what we do in the open. When the cars broke we talked about it. We talked about why and what we were doing to make it better.

This stuff get's us all excited. So go for it. NOS is fun...

 

Great stuff Lynn!!!

Keep "Having fun".:cornut:

 

What happened? It looks like Nitrominis took his ball and went home.

 

And with that I believe there will be nothing more to add.

What are you guys using to polish the inside of the horns and intake manifold ? 400 grit sandpaper or what ?. I have manifold laying around that I would like to try my hand at.
