No fuckin way... that guy has a bigger head then a bobble head toy, he never goes to the track and drags main at the age of what now???? 30+ LMFAO! no way...
I hope his friend is smarter then larson..... thats for sure.

He is actualy probaly one of the best self taught mechanics I know.
He does race in harvey, minot and Beaulah and even hazen. Hits up most of the 1/8th mile track days. The way the car sits now its prob low 11 high 10's. He just swapped disc brakes on it, and put heads on last year, with new gears. The thing is fast as fuck.I do take offense to the 30 comment as he is only a year older than me
haha.I dont know I guess I know him and have saw his jenyousness haha spell check that one, at hand in person, working on bikes.
Actually you should get to know him, he could prob tune your truck for you.

ha ha I dont really know him, i just remeber running into him when i had my built 1972 GTO and we would always run into eachother and revv back and forth that was it.. He was cocky in his car, but this was over 4 or 5 years ago..
Im sure he is a good guy..
That would be a good deal if he started a shop, we need someone like that around here.
If you get anymore info post it up!
l8trs.

Yea Kentons dad closed up months and months ago...
Speaking of that i havent talked with kenton in about 8 months.. we use to be best buds for about 7 years, dont know what happend.. I guess since i bought my house and whatnot, im on a broke ass level and just do what i can with the time i can.. Dont have time to waste my time at parties and whatnot.. kinda over that whole deal..
Give me some more info on the shop and whatnot...
Mustang dyno.. Im hoping they can set it up for my RSX so i can get accurate dyno numbers. -
I do not know how much you will be able to tune it there. As a couple months ago this was discussed when Tintmaster had talked about getting a dyno and tuning. Try searching you will find the forum.
Yeah I dont get out much either, as I am not into getting to the other end of main as fast as possible but am into racing need be
on the track of course... I saw him at Applebees last year, lol that was the last time I saw the kid. Didnt you use to work him and sparrow at Cap RV? I havent talked to anybody for a hell of a long time in bismarck as no one really has cars anymore. Everyone is getting houses and suvs and I got out of cars for a while as a main hobby. Bikes are where I play now.
Yeah I will find out tommorow more on the shop, might try and find it as I will be out and about anyway as I am tring to find a place to paint a old schwinn stingray frame for me. -

I know nothing of this new shop, but BTP (bell trans products) is NOT going out of business, thinking about going out of business, or being pressured into going out of business. You need to be careful about making assumptions such as this. Their business will be affected very little by any new facility there, I would suspect.

Their business will be affected very little by any new facility there, I would suspect.I heard from some of the guys who work at little shops around them.
There customer base is none of the people i have talked to, I didnt say for sure they where and i was wondering why, not knowing the full story.Ive been a long time customer of there shop over 7 years and over 15g of work they have done on my vehicles..
They are known and have there large customer base very secure around here and do work no one else attempts to do nor can do in Bismarck.. Also alot of the midwest drag cars. I can personally email them and get the real deal. Im not felling im a threat to there shop in away by what i said. I know them as friends first and then as a great shop. I know my good buddy kelsey who has worked for them for the last 11 years had just been laid off from there shop.. There main tranny man. Due to lack of tranny work. So all in all im not just an outsider trying to start rumors. I dont feel there shop will be threatend by a smaller shop or shops. I do NOT know of any local shops who can even come close or compair to the quality of there work. You can quote me on that! You can take my name to them and tell them that.
Winter season can always be hard on a summer income based race shop.

I had kind of heard something before also. It happens those guys are not that young anymore and if no one is there to take over then door close. Not saying they are just in general. Sometimes lack of business has nothing to do with it. And a smaller shop doing different things is not going to affect there business. They do alot of one off stuff, work that no one else will and build and rebuild transmissions for consumers and racers. They have a solid foundation and a new shop with a dyno is not going to affect them.
Oh and I sent you a PM another forum.

No one knows what there talking about ha ha including you..
JJ and Josh are Johns sons, Josh is around 27 and JJ is about 35 or so ha ha..
Has to do nothing with them getting to old..To continue on with the convo..
This is the truck they have been building for me, a custom bagged 4x4 truck with a Procharger Supercharter, the first stage of the truck was finished this last spring.
The truck is set to go in this spring/summer for a built up motor, built tranny, and 4 link if my finance situation goes as i want.. Again im not out of the loop of this shop, again i know them well..
here is some of there work.. MY truck the unfinished project.
fresh out the shop last spring.
NOTICE THE DECAL ON THE AIR TANK.

I didnt know JJ and Josh were Johns sons as I have only been there a couple times. N/M Ignore any past comments on previous post whoring.
Oh and the sticker looks like BII9. j/K
You do have a pro charger correct, I assume you have a P1SC with a 2core or do you have the p600? Are you still converting your front end also?

Not converting the front end, waste of money... I have the Procharger yes P1SC with a 2 core, street version.

Have you done any tuning on a dyno with it anywhere?NO.
There is no reason to. Being the motor still needs to be built along with the tranny and the rear end and the 4link rear sus setup/ minitub... That air bags are coming off soon. Its gonna be a full coilover setup in the rear, and i still have yet what to do with the front in order to run a race/launch spring......
Its 60% finished... No need for tuning at this point in time.
