I went to St.Thomas today.

I wrote off my quest for 10's n/a. So I went into tech and after they asked me to heat up the track a bit(me having slicks) I gladly obliged. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

I was surprised as to how much the track hooked:
11.0...something something.....(can't find slip)

So I excitedly went up again, to help with the track of course. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Next run was:
1.487,10.895,125.00

Yeee hawwwwww, I backed it up with a
1.512,10.899,125.27. so on with the nitrous. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I then changed plugs(OH my god, what a job that was), moved my tranny blanket to the bellhousing, changed to race gas, changed the computer program(thanks Wade) and flowed the nitrous fuel system. This all took about 2 hours to pull off.

Then came my runs:

1.443,15.006,57.09(Went towards the wall in second gear and lifted)
1.453,9.947,138.45....now there we go.

Now I need to go to bed.(waking up at 3 to go to work.

Thank you Lucie, Kurt, Taner, Jennie, Wade, Nick and everybody that might have wandered by for your help, support, and videoing for me.

Congrats Roman!

Roman has a SS, M6, with a 10 or 12 pt cage, an ARE 432?ci hydraulic iron block, and it's a heavy car mostly due to the iron block and the funny car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> cage he's got in the car.

I hope to join you in both categories this summer.

Just got home from work. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I guess that a few specs would be in order.

PSJ, sorry to correct you but....it's a 14 point cage, I figured that while I'm doin it, I might as well go all the way. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> especially with the T-tops.

I haven't weighed it yet this year so my guess is around a 3850-3900 race weight.

I have a 422 ARE hydraulic cam, iron block with a NOS direct port fogger, LS6 monster heads, LS6 intake, etc etc....grotts, borla catback, customized mcleod street twin, adjustable master, Z06 slave, KTRE 33 spline 12 bolt w/4.10's(going to 3.73's soon) & 800 lb posi, BMR extreme torque arm, ARE chromemoly K-frame and A-arms, weld draglite skinnies w/DS2's and 15x10 w/28w's.

Thanks alot to ARE for an awesome package that rocks and for all of their help and support. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
