Why don’t you have your friend make an account and have him post his own stuff?

Just curious because it would take a lot of heat off you for posting this.

> you already ranted on all that welding mumbo jumbo. it aint my car. My car is all SS. appreciate the CC but really in the tone you are ranting… makes you seem kinda like a dick and that it bothers you, especially now this is your second time ranting on the same shit. Let it go. No one compared their welds to yours.

Who did the SS on your car?

I get that alot actually. I am probably the most honest, straight shooter on this fourm and in real life. If someones a fucking welding artist I say great job. If they arnt i tell them they need help and tell they what they did wrong, why its wrong, suggest the proper way and prove why its proper. Simple as that. if I am gruff about it, or use a tone… to fucking bad I guess. Nowhere in here did I compare myself or my work to his. Just stated what was NOT right about it and how and why it needs to be done “my way”.

And I was telling everyone to fuck off because it was going off topic. If you dont give a shit about things going off topic dont post your own threads, and stop adding to the problem around here. Getting off topic on things and using justification to do so as "well its Shift that’s always what happens, or its not in technical… " doesn’t matter. its a lot like the welds we are supposed to be talking about, take pride in your efforts and the results will be better than most expected. Same with posts. I talk a lot here, use spell check and re-read most of what I post… because I take pride in the bullshit spewing from my mouth! lol

BACK ON TOPIC.

Why you follow my directions…

Backpurged welds… Turbo friendly on the inside:

NOT-Backpurged welds… see the grey shit coating the welds, and the lumps waiting to break off when they hit 1000+ deg’s PRIOR to the turbo???

thats my own test pieces I messed around with. Here are some others from the web that show what i am talking about.

NON backpurged:

Non backpurged:

Same exact thing, just properly back purged:

Thats exactly why you MUST do what I am talking about. Not only for stronger welds, but for cleaner welds. Thats also why you NEVER should MIG any turbo plumbing, or if you MUST, use Solar Flux on the inside and make sure you clean all of the flux out prior to installation.

I don’t think you have to be a fabricator to see the problems with that setup. I’m not saying anything bad to Ike, he’s cool in my book, just his buddy is garbage at welding.

As Mk4 30R stated, my Jeep SRT8 is basically 99% stock. Sbardy’s Jeep is a completely different animal. He could beat you from a dig in reverse…from a roll, he would be so far ahead of you he wouldn’t even see the crap falling off your Grand Prix. I’m still down for running you from a dig, but I’m not going to race to 130mph or anything.

I think it will be capable of going 135-140mph. There big problem is that he doesn’t have that many runs under his belt and with no boost controller, he is going to have a hard time getting it down the track. There is another 426 TT set up that has gone 9.45 at 145mph…but that guy had lots of runs before he achieved that. Basically, its going to come down to how well he can drive.  
One other problem…he has no cage, so it’s not like he can make a bunch of runs and practice at the Valley. He will be kicked out long before he can get the practice.
