I believe Allan Futral ordered a 3800 stall, but I can reflash it to whatever I need.
He won't bet or race me unless I take the NOS bottle out of the car. We agree I would crush him on the juice.
He is not a great driver.

You are an auto and he is a stick
enough said
you got it all day long. If you are going to run him on motor I would recommend borrowing a 4000+ stall though. That will really get you out there in front of him and he will not touch you down track.

Go get some parts money from him.He aint gonna do nothing but a smoke show

i think you don't have a '99 LS1 SS Sedan LOL...
2 doors are coupes my friend, unless i'm missing something.if you run him as is now, no bottle, you're probably golden and a G richer. however, if he get's the suspension work done, he can't say a damn thing about the bottle! may the faster car/better driver win! no crybabies allowed!

He will not race me on the sauce no matter what. He thinks n/a vesus blower is a fair race.

Pray Hard, you're right, it should be called a coupe.
black_ws6, if done all I want to do to it. I can put a 200+ shot on it I have to.

all i know is my rule of thumb is never race for money until your car is 100 percent dialed in. to me that means at least 3 passes back to back that are within a couple hundreths of eachother and no more than 1 mph variance, with. sixty foot in 1-2 hundreths similarity range as well. only saying this cuz it sounds like your car is still in the works.

Just trying to distinguish it from a convertible or T-top.

I know him and his car very well. His best time is 11.30 and he just made it a $2000 bet.

#1, how do you know he doesn't do $1k worth of suspension mods before this race banking on him winning?
#2, Get some slicks or NEW DR's, and a 4000 stall TC. If you can take him off the line I think you'll have it.
