Title: My 6468
Post by: Forzfed on June 19 2018, 11:24:05 AM
Damn that is one huge biatch!  It makes my old CPT66 look like a stock turbo.  Can't wait to see how it performs!  I was going to post a picture but I have to resize and I lost my old program for doing that.

You can resize on windows 10. I've had no luck posting pics on here...even if I resize them to proper size for this site.

Site problems, ok that makes sense.  I had photo_ucket but I refuse to use them.  Any good sites?

I use Dropbox. Take a pic, syncs to the cloud and to my computer. You can then share links, but the link is https://xy.z (https://xy.z) and it needs the secure (s) removed for the forum to load the image so the link would look like http://xy.z (http://xy.z)

I think google drive and Microsoft one drive does as well.

It takes me to your pic, but it does show who you are. I didn’t see you email address.

With the image tags it should just load the picture

That is your link to it - you need the shared link. Like above

Yeah, I noticed that but they want me to upgrade to use the share feature.  And usually upgrading means money.

You've got a 1/4 mile track...so I'll say 10.80 on 23 PSI on an easy tune on a 1.70 launch.

Yeah the forum software needs some love, it’s quite a few versions behind. Imo it’s far enough behind that upgrading is going to be a complete pain in the ass. The software stack (webserver, database, application) all need to work together and then the forum software sits on top. And then there are forum plugins that sit on top. Making sure everything plays nice together can be difficult. Add a decade of data and it could be a lot of work.

It works currently - and that’s what matters. Maybe I should pester Mark to see if he would like some help breaking it.

Mark just got back from Ireland.  I dropped him a message on FB but it often takes awhile to hear back

What bugs me is when you are use to something and they change it.  Like windows outlook it went from an easy copy paste to click on attachment and browse for picture, like WTF how is that easier??
Anyway, doesn't that turbo look huge?

Forzfed...you're in tough. Patrick Rubio is back. 231 with a set of heads...6766.. .and a AC 19930 and alky and Erics 5.7 alky chip. Patrick's had 2 stints at Precision...an d has forgotten more about turbos than most will ever learn. I've followed him closely over the years...he's one of the best in the business. Link is what he's up to. Goal is mid 10's. I'm curious to see how easily he attains it.

It's a biggie. You've got the cubes to push it.

My main concern right now is getting the car running!  If it goes fast that is just a bonus! :cheers:
