Ahh thats right, I forgot you had a TBSS. I bet the vert is fun with the turbo.

if i can get my car finished ill try to make it up there

I should be there..

I hope to go to this, saturdays are kind of tough for me to get away from but it would be cool to meet some new people and check out some other f-bodys.

My car might still be broken but I will be there for sure. I need a ride in someone's FI car. I'll fill their tank :drive:

I'll try to get there, I get back from my honeymoon on Friday so we'll probably need a break from eachother anyhow haha!

Danno I may have to ride down with you. If all goes as planned my car will already be down there receiving some "minor" upgrades

Not a problem bud. I actually fired up my car yesterday for a warmup, it still runs so I guess were ok :)

better yet....anyone going to be there with a C6Z? I really want a ride in one of those cars. I'm thinking about selling mine and getting one.

Took a vacation day to go to this....nothing like messing around and getting paid for it :pimp:

Planning a decent food spread for this day too.

Im guessing the dyno will be first come first serve?

What time do you plan on heading down?

Probably head up 930-1000 we can meet up lmk if u have a time or place idea

What time do you plan on heading down?

For those cruising down from central MA, there should be a handfull of us going down together already.

01 CamaroSS SLP + TheSilverOne, I am sure we can meet up w/ you guys if interested.

I've been fighting some driveline vibes in my car ever since I went to a crossmember mounted torque arm a few years ago. I swapped in my stock tranny mount this week (thinking it help) and F-ed up my pinion angle, so I gotta tweak that this week before the ride, damn thing is so sensitive. I'm getting close to dropping the car off with Don and going over the chassis for tweaking or best options, or just put it back on the tailshaft.

youre gonna have that vibration with that setup ....i have the same in my car but its worse cause i used a poly trans mount im pretty sure you wanna keep it mounted there though so its not on the tailshaft.

We could meet up at an exit off 146?

Sounds good, i still gotta send you pictures of the paint.. Your probably coming down 495 i am too. Maybe we can meet off of 495 somewhere.

We could meet up at an exit off 146?

Im thinking 495? :drive:

495 works for me....i'm in the middle of both

495 works for me....i'm in the middle of both

im heading out of leominster and will be jumping on 495 as well

I will be there, got my wheels back today from powder coat and hopefully the car will be lowered by then too.

Yeah if I wanna go over 65 and keep my fillings in I won't be able too. I'm gonna go mess with it today after work. I had my poly trans mount in forever, not a problem until mounting the TA on the crossmember. My piece changes instant center a bit lower than factory and I know many are adjustable, might be related, I dunno. At this point I a more afraid of damage from vibration than damage from breaking a tailshaft.

im heading out of leominster and will be jumping on 495 as well

All of us will be coming down Rt2 to 495, whats a good point to meet maybe before we hit 495, or shortly after?

You can drive my car, but you won't like it with the slushbox and stall. Like driving a snowmobile.

my car is at don's right now getting a trickflow tune up.

So that's who the White SS belongs to. Sharp car and the hard top is nice.

I may stop by, I really dont need another dyno as the car just left Don's shop last week
By the way the tuning changes were massively better on the autox course, car is way more controllable

Not sure if I have that day free, but if so hopefully I'll swing down and check it out. If things work out in the positive, I'll try to latch on with the rest of you Central MA guys for the convoy.

Looks like the wife is going to be travelling that day, so, if it isn't raining, plan on seeing me. Assuming you're talking about Mr. Mike's / Ricky's Towing, that's about 10 minutes from my house.

184 rwhp 759 rwtq

Effective rpm range of 2,000 to 2,500 rpm with a converter set for 3,200 rpm.

Well it looks like I can now make it. I am in the middle of a 21 day binge, everyday I have to report in to the trading floor so I didnt think I would of been around.

Don I wasnt able to swing by last weekend because of work. Just found out 10 minutes ago that because they trading floor was down for 2 hours and so much money was lost they cancelled all of the other changes, my work being one of them.

Can I work tomorrow?

Weather looks good.

See ya tomorrow.

184 rwhp 759 rwtq

Effective rpm range of 2,000 to 2,500 rpm with a converter set for 3,200 rpm.

Lol. I am hoping for something like that.. Little more HP and a little less torque. It is a 3.8L V6 gas engine.. Not a diesel!

see y'all in the AM

see y'all in the AM

Looking forward to it!

I'll be there after work as usual.

I will be there meeting up with the boys in leominster!

I have a darn wedding to attend :bang:, But on a good note, I must have told 50 people about it, only 1 card left on the billboard at the gym and I gave out all Don's business cards I had in the truck.
So he'll have to save me a doughnut in his freezer.

it was great today good times great bunch of people.

Yes it was. Cars looked good.

it was great today good times great bunch of people.

it was a good day ....i think i am still king of the dyno for today !!!!

Def a good turn out. I was suprised by the number of GTO's that showed up

great day and some nice cars/people. Thanks slowhawk!

I had a great time! Thanks Slowhawk for putting this together. If anyone caught a video of my Buick making a run, PM me please. I was not able to get a good video from where I was standing.

Wasn't expecting to throw my car on, but it ran awesome! Good to see a bunch of people!

Great time. Some awesome cars. Thanks Slowhawk!!

484/456 Will post a video once i upload it

Highest # of the day was lous twin turbo camaro. 870hp 910tq

Too bad, we bailed before that one; hung around for the GN though, which was cool.

Justin, your car is bada$$; still tough to believe you're making 570+ on a stock motor, but I saw it for myself.

Dan, you should be very proud of your ride; great-looking car with 330 at the wheels for the short dough you have in that car is terrific.

Great event, well planned and executed, and a great group of cars to enjoy; the game of leapfrog on 495 on the way down had to be the highlight, sign me up for another Mr. Mike's convoy run any time.

that vette was badass

Yeah, Mike's car really moved out on the highway

What was the highest car that was N/A?

Yeah, Mike's car really moved out on the highway

Thanks guys! Yeah, it was getting tough going that slow for such a long time. LOL Great meeting you guys.

Don's tune is what makes the magic happen. Tough to beat the sound of a Maggie screaming at 6k+ RPM's on the highway. :nod:

Actually the vibs were tolerable, its the 3k rpms for 1+hrs that gets old, lol

Burned about 2/3 of a tank in one trip.

I couldn't hear anybody's car, unless I was right behind danbud.

you went through that much damn ...i think my car only used slightly more than a quarter tank

Yup, just about, its amazing what 10mph does and a blast or 2, if i keep it at 65-70 I can get about 21mpg, 75-80 17mpg.

If I can swing it this year I think I might swap torque converters and step the gears down a bit, maybe 3.42's, I liked those, then have Don see if he can get the thing shifting right again from a dig.

After talking with Don maybe a FAST intake soon enough as I it would seem I'll stick with a cathedral port even on the next motor. (when that comes)

I averaged 27mpg for the drive. :jest:

I am pig rich at WOT (which dan can attest to, since he was behind me when we laid on it) because I haven't tuned since the motor was built and probably burned a half a tank; 6spd FTW.
