Most people brag about cars they beat. I wish I could say that. I just got smoked!!!!!!! Now i know my supercharger isn't running right. All my suspicions can true about my car needing to get looked at when a stock Mazda 3 wanted to race. One of my friends pulled up next to me who owned one when we were doing about 50 mph. We both dropped into 3rd gear and he kicked the crap out of me. That is not supposed to happen!

A little bit about my car. I've only got the Jackson Racing supercharger w/BBK, full exhaust (headers back), throttle body, and a few other minor things. I knew my car wasn't a speed demon, but Damn... a stock mazda 3.

Here are my NEW list of things to do after this little mishap.

1. Don't race anybody until I get my car the way I want it so I save myself the embaressment.

2. Buy bigger injectors (30lbs isn't enough)

3. Buy a smaller belt (I'm positive mine is too big by about 3/4" or so

4. TUNE TUNE TUNE. The Ford Racing tune I'm not convinced can handle the other upgrades that I have. I still have some detno while running 93 oct and I think my car is running lean)

Summer time is when I'm going to do that. I'll look into it more in a few months. I was just pissed when I got smoked. I just thought i'd let everyone make fun of me for it.
