> [@lmt0705@juno.com](#): > > Im having a hard time with this one because I dont want to cage my car, but I might have too because i have some big plans for this fall. how strict are they at NYI about cages? Just cage it, cages are badass. If your gonna be as stupid fast as it sounds and even faster the following season your just limiting yourself to a ‘street only’ car if you don’t. Do a good job and tuck the bar to keep a semi-sleeper affect like i did on mine, most pictures you cant even tell i have a bar in my car. You can bet NYI is going to be strict with Vito now taking over the track, incase you dont know he is the chassis inspector for IHRA/NHRA in this area so your not gonna squeeze by with BS. If you plan on 9’s are faster you better have a 10pt with a window net, driveshaft loop, tranny shield, flywheel/flexplate shield, etc. If you wanna go fast you have to make sacrifices. Mike ---

i’d say there is more driving skill required for managing a high hp (750+whp) m6 car in the street than pushing the gas pedal on an automatic car at a prepped track for a heads up race. bracket racing is a different story, but totally irrelevant ---

If you come on a friday night where we bracket race under IHRA rules they may not even let you run if you dont pass tech inspection. If you put a 6point in the car and you just go on a test and tune day, track rental or ametuer night for example, and you run high 9s? i’m guess they wont bother you, maybe just a warning. If you are running mid 9s or faster i’d expect them to boot you. Its for your own safety, going fast ain’t cheap! If it were me i’d build it for the rules if you wanna race period, your choice. ---

I never questioned turbo about what THIS DOES, its a friggen MAF I think I might be familiar with what those are, do you people have nothing better to do than to make crap up? he told me he was running in SD, if that were the case the MAF should have had nothing to do with how the car was running, im not saying that gave me the right to unplug it, but I did, I apologized for touching it get over it and stop making things up. ---

How dumb. So, you admit that you unplugged it. That trumphs that matter of weither you said, “what does this do.” You unplugged someones MAF on a running car. If he told you it was running on a speed density tune, and the MAF was plugged in, wouldnt that ell you…its wasnt? Then raise the question instead of diving into his car with your mitts and unplugging his MAF? LOL…I could see turbo driving around with his SES light on…“fucking retard…who unplugs someones MAF???” ---

i believe you can have it in SD while the maf is plugged in, it just bypasses it; but will still do funky things when messed with. i can’t remember whether i said it is or will be in SD, it was a while ago, when i built my boost engine, and didn’t have the boost yet. regardless, i just remember the car almost dying in the middle of the 7 corners, and chugging the whole way home. ---
