Just ordered the converter. Same exact one as in Klines Z that won MOD PA at the 2011 LTxshootout

Also put on a new UMI Chassis mounted TA since I needed an adjustable one. My PA was way positive after the tire and shock changes. Pretty sure that was causing ALL my issues with the car. It was so bad it tore my TA bushing in half.
Not sure if I had mentioned I got the cam a while back. All I need now is that damn short block.

By the time I got the new TA in and the suspension all set back up it was to late to get a trailer. Im hoping to test this friday but the weather isnt looking so great. I pray it stays dry and cool so I can get out there. If it does rain I might just throw in the th350 b4 I make it out again.

I used to drive mine every time until I busted the trans at the track 100miles from home with no cash, no CC & no phone. Thank god I knew someone there with a trailer and his car was streetable. Since then I always trailer it to the track. BTW congrats on the new PB!!!
MasterT all my suspension is UMI besides the BMR SFCs

People used to make fun of me when I trailered my Civic to the track, until I popped the motor and was able to get home 
I cant wait to see the car out! I think we are going to be at Byron on the 2nd BTW.

Rules for ES NA say you have to have a muffler. SO I just made it a open as possible and still keep a muffler. Lol. Its amazing how much quieter the car is with the cutout closed.
New TC came in today. Oh and it's not any of the companies I was looking at before. I ended up with a BTE converter after seeing a couple cars work extremely well with them. Including Kyle Klines Z. That car clocked off a 9.2 a week or two ago and a 9.4 at the Shootout in terrible conditions. Kyle hooked me up with his guy Bubba at BTE and I got the converter for a killer killer deal.
Ill grab a trailer in a bit and make my way to the track. Weather is great for racin.

Finally picked up my short block yesterday after a long long wait. But since its so late in the season Im just going to rock the 355 for the rest of the season.
Also the TH350 is in the car now, cooler and dip stick are all done. Just need to rig up the shifter and throw in the Kirkey pro seats and she should be ready to roll again.
