New Orleans - shreveport/bossier hang out!

Josh, I think I need to do some tuning on your car before we run ;)

Yea i know i will give you a call

Wayne,it's not that im worried about. She leaves out that morning so i will be down to my car as my only ride the following week. I don't think i can walk 18 miles to work one way and make it to work on time. My back up truck is down as well so it looks like im screwed by karma from every angle.Ah yes, work a word I have not used in 3 years.

Thanks again steve an cody for helping with my car:nod:

Really dude? did all that work break your spirit? :engarde:haha jk jk
What is still wrong with it?
This mean you're quittin the game?

Ill never quit the game. Im building a s10 for racing and need something to pull it with. Talked to some of the family today and there telling me to keep it. Most of my family work/ed for GM and i think they are about to go together to get me a truck. If thats the case be looking for a 6.0 red T/A and a newer 5.3 chevy ridding around.:D

No one really knows what is wrong with it. Name what you think it is worth cause I have a friend interested.

Im still not 100% on selling it but if i sell it out right it wont be no less than 6,000.

I've got some super low mileage 275 50 15 MT drag radials I need to get rid of quick. $250Hilton I'll be coming into Shreveport tomorrow to pay a few bills. If you still have the tires for sale, I'll take them off your hands. You can call me 469-5282.

Any of you have some street tires for skinnies your wanting to sell? I got one that is starting to develope a bad spot on the outside of the tread.

YAY! I have an engine coming!

here's how I celebrate!

Thanks wayne. I'll give them a call in the morning.

Thanks wayne. I'll give them a call in the morning.They are Kumho 165/80R15's, If you can't get them locally let me know and I'll go to the warehouse here and get them to you.

I have to admit Im getting pretty excited about the track opening up. Its so close you can taste it. Hopefully with all the VHT they say they sprayed we might run some good times.....maybe somebody can get a new personal best and you guys with new set-ups or stock stuff can get a good baseline.

The Strongs live around the block and they have several old hot rods. They have been out ther plating around and say there is a pretty good pad set already. They also have a IHRA camaro they have made some passes in. I would be haooy with a low 14 with this 5.3. If i get another motor to put in the car i might keep it and see how fast the 5.3 will go on spray being stock lol. I have a few sets of slicks i have rounded up for the s10 but none of them are gunna work for it. If anyone knows someone with a set of 31/14.5 slicks or close to it i need to barrow them just to mock up my backhalf. I wont be running them just useing them to check clearance.

Some of you guys that never went to the track much might squeeze out a new best but for all the rest of us that raced almost every weekend will be no where near a new best with the weather. It will probably be 2500ft corrected alt. on race day and that is a huge difference in ET from the weather we ran in at Monroe in March

^^^^ you are such a party pooper.:jest:

Well i finnaly got done with anoher pita thing to do to my car. I will never do a abs delete again that was such a pita to do, damn lines are a pain to double flare .

Well tonight was a nightmare, I'm pretty sure I burned my engine up in my 78 Bronco.
I'm gonna do a full check tomorrow to find out for sure. If it is really dead then I'm gonna do a full rebuild. Which I'll throughly enjoy. Guess it's a win win situation, lol.

Well I ordered my jegs catback yesterday. It should be here wednesday. Steve, I'll get with ya on those brackets when I see what it looks like. I'm pretty anxious to hear what it's gonna sound like. I know I'm gonna miss the cam with open headers. It makes me :drool: everytime I crank it. But I gotta get it back on the road and the track.

Got the new kumho street tires on the skinnies so i'll probably drive down saturday night and check ya'll out.

My damn chainsaw doesn't work.

If you have a chainsaw and like to burn stuff while drink beer; please call me.

On a better note, Josh Duet is bringing my engine this evening! I also have something else up my sleeve I'll reveal once I've got the "special" in my hot little hands!

I got me a lil engine today also fellas.:devil: Just wait and see:secret2:

I picked up a set of trick flow CNC 215cc heads! They're filthy and don't have rocker arms, but they're still awesome.

Josh dropped off the engine too. It's time to get to work!

Something interesting and pretty cool IMO:

So my buddy Perry stopped by for a late night cold beer. He used to work at Red River Chevy before they laid him off. Last week one of his ex-coworkers called him up and told him to go to the dealership to check out a "beast." It was a 2010 Camaro with what is effectively an SS/RS trim (Chevy calls it the 2SS) with every option and detail available for order. Okay yeah so "blah blah" but hang on, it gets better:

So the guy taking delivery is some rich fuck in Shreveport who showed up at the dealership, looked at the car, sat in it, and then waited for a custom 18-wheeler transport to show up for loading. Perry showed me pics of the whole ordeal on his cell phone. The car's paint is Imperial Blue Metallic (the new version of NBM) and has "ghost" racing stripes that were kinda a flat black/gray color...a stealthy blend-in. The fenders and bumpers still had the baby blue "shipping masks" on them. So anyways Perry inquires as to why the guy is having the car immediately loaded onto this custom rig. He replies with something to the effect of "It's going to a shop in the midwest for a Stroker swap and some other goodies."

Good Lord gentlemen... I'd imagine that if you meet this fucker on the street later this summer, you'll know it when you HEAR it, much less see it. I took note of the rig that is transporting it:
http://www.reliablecarriers.com

Wonder how much THAT shit costs...

When thinking about it, I'm glad there's someone local carrying on the Camaro's heritage and the dream...and at the same time think to myself "...must be nice." :cheers:

Josh, you never installed the stock catback I swapped you?

What time is everyone going Saturday? I would like to go and make some runs to see what it would do but my clutch pedal likes to stay on the floor when I shift it hard...:bang:

I dropped the heads off at Kittlers this morning. They're going to put in new valve seals, check everything, make sure there are no problems...

I'm pretty excited. I have to find some roller tip rockers now. I'd rather not buy them new.

me and Cody were thinking of meeting up with the group on N market at around 4.

I started pulling apart the LQ4 today. Pulled the heads, oil pan, timing chain, lifters, cam and got it on the engine stand.

I found out that the camshaft that I bought is a stock LS2 cam. I've been told that it's the same spec as a 2001 Z06 cam. I'm not really happy that it's not the 220/224 I was assured that it IS, but I'm sure someone will want it.

me and Cody were thinking of meeting up with the group on N market at around 4.

Ok. I am hoping to go. I am trying to get my brother to bring his awd TBSS.

To all you guys with 6 speeds, how many of you have had the clutch pedal stick to the floor and what did you do to fix it?

I've got a mity vac. I'll see if it'll pull the air out of your system if you want.

Josh, you never installed the stock catback I swapped you?

Was about to then I got a divorce, and now I have money again so I ordered it. I still have it though. That jegs kit sounds pretty good I think. Not bad for $264 shipped to the house. It's definately mellow, but you still know it's cammed. Hope to get a test drive in tomorrow. Hope to bring it to the track saturday, but probably won't run unless it's cool like tonight.

To all you guys with 6 speeds, how many of you have had the clutch pedal stick to the floor and what did you do to fix it?

My buddy's t/a is doing the same thing and I've determined after several bleedings that it's the slave or the master or both. That's the only way to fix it. You can try draining it then bleeding it and if it holds then you'll be ok. If not check the master for any leaks. His will only hold for about a day then it starts sticking again. If it isn't leaking then it's the slave. Might as well put in a good clutch while your there. If you need some help gimme a holler. I'd be happy to help ya out.

Thanks to both you guys. I think I will need help on this one. I don't think it is leaking though. My 6 speed T/A did not do this. It sucks.

me and Cody were thinking of meeting up with the group on N market at around 4.They plan on pulling out of Whataburger at 4:15 so don't be on the late side of 4.

So while all of yall are waiting on a group to get the line longer ill honk when i pass by trying to get in the front of the line lol.

What are yalls guesses on what this stock 5.3 will run in the T/A? Im going to say 14.00 with a 2.0 60ft.

Is it sticking all the time or only when you are in the upper range banging thru gears? have you done the drill mod? your master should be hard as a rock when u push on it when its disconnected from the slave, if not, you could have an issue there. what year are all the hydraulics? If your fluid is black get that shit outta there too. most people can resolve this by doing the drill mod.

When the lights go down on the tree it's about getting there first:D

Not at all Steve, get some while you can.

It sticks only when you are banging through the gears, normal driving it works fine. I have not done the drill mod although I have read about it on this forum. It is a 2002 with 98k miles. My wife is driving it right now until I can put a new fuel pump in her Yukon. I hope to get through with that this afternoon.

The temptation is going to be hard to hold off from breaking it off in all ya'lls asses but i must restrain my self from doing so :bang::D

Well, you already have the slightly better hydraulics. Do the drill mod, bleed it good. Even put a mighty vac on it. I bled mine several years ago till I was blue in the face but still wouldnt act right. I put a mighty vac on it and I pulled all kind of air out of the master. The drill mod works for a lot of people on this forum, although, I have never had the need to do mine

i be watching toHAHAHA! Sucks to have to watch but i have nothing else better to do.

Now what do you suppose could be in there?

:devil:I heard most of you guys that are making excuses for not running tomorrow (like it's too hot or I can't shift gears good enough or I have swine flu) are really just scared to line up with the stock 03 Mach 1 that is coming there to slap :whip: some bolt on LS cars around.;) Say it ain't so!!!:angel:

I really have swine flu:barf:

Lol, that sucks!

Well I could probably pull the clutch up after every shift and beat it. If I lose I already have my ricer excuse ready. :D

hAHAHAAHAH@Cody!

m6 or a4 shane?

A4:thumbsdow

I have no excuse to not make a pass or two, if I wasn't so damn old I would think of one.

Welp! looks like im going to have to put it on ya'lls a$$ afterall. I called the track because the entry fee was a tale or two tales. Come to find out it cost me $10 to spectate and a additional $10 to come in and park with ya'll,so it looks like i'll be making a few "Gentle" runs so i don't leave feeling like i have been bent over the rail......sort of speak!

I see the other side of the coin in keeping the race cars in and the spectators rides out to open the parking more but $10 come on!

Yea I seen that. I'm on the fence about this as I can see both sides. On one hand it will make them a little extra $$$ and maybe help push some of the people who have never raced but always want to into giving it a shot.

But on the other hand, it will definitely piss of some and they may never return. I would have gone with $10 to watch parking in spec section and $15 watch parking inside. But I'm not complaining about because I'm just glad we will finally have our track back open and it is run by real racers. I'm sure they are going to trying many different things until they get it right. I really like the way they are setting up the Saturday races. Now we will see which crowd really supports the place the most, the street guys that TnT, the bracket/index crowd, the motorcycle guys or the riceboys.

I was thinking a extra $5 to park inside the gates was more reasonable. I just happened to be one of the first to be pushed into racing with the extra parking fee.

I will not park mine outside the gates for people to tamper or get a closer look at. I'm 100% in support for the new track owners and hope it does well. 99% of the other time i will be racing so it's $20 no matter but it's still rubs me wrong to have to pay racing fee to park inside :bang:

Im racing so it doesn't matter to me and i dont have as many minivans to go around after coming off the return lane so its all good... :jest:

Well Ima be workin on gettin this tranny back in my car... & the clutch adjusted.
So hopefully noone breaks anything too important this weekend.
Scott : Try to keep those rods inside the engine for a while. J/K Hope all goes well..
Hey does anyone know of a good placearound town to get sum high quality race gas? I'm wantin to take sum with me next weekend... I know Smith Oil on N. Market sells it, but i don't know if its any good or not??

I heard that there was going to be both race fuel AND nitrous for sale at the track!

Hope you guys ran great and come home safe! Wish I were there.

well it turned out to be pretty rough out there tonight for some. In 7 hours i only got two passes but wasn't putting forth much effort. Track was greasy while the sun was up so traction was tough to come by. During the hottest part of the day i picked up about .5 mph. Once the sun went down I picked up another 2 mph on a bad run. So 2.5 mph total was all i had to show for it. Im pretty happy with that and the car felt great going down the track. At the end of the night Me and Josh D lined up for an infamous rematch and once again he was snoring as the lights went and I got the win light. It was a sweet victory and sweet revenge for the last time we lined up in Monroe :jest: Some guys didn't want to race so they waited to closing time to pass tech inspection and by then they were arm dropping with no timing system, It was basically like Pinks All Out came back to shreveport. Well the track got oiled down and those few guys didnt get to make even one pass. Also, Chris A found out about the RAP ( retained accessory power ) system tonight while trying to break in Wayne's car. All in all a pretty good night.

cough cough my tree wasnt working and the force wasnt with me tonite :D

14.4 spinning through 1st. i made a pass after the timing system got fucked and had no spin, bog or anything. 14.0 maybe? Will never know i guess lol.

I had a good time, well all but the lock your keys in the car part. See what happens when you get old. I hate that the timing system took a shit. I really wanted to see Scott and Chris get a timed run in as well as Johnny in the stang. I never got a clean pass, 13.0 spinning.

I sure hope you lucky bastards brought back some videos.
But 2 runs in 7 hours almost makes me glad I couldn't make it.

I know someone has pictures. I want to see the crowd! I hope the new owner makes a fortune!

I know someone has pictures. I want to see the crowd! I hope the new owner makes a fortune!

I waited all night and never got a pass in. By the time me,chris and johnny got in the staging lanes the computers went down....not lights on the tree,no timing lights and no ET print outs. They were hand drop racing whoever was beside you,so i packed up and left for the house.

I gave them $20 and i promise it won't happen again. Whoever you are that post for Thunderraceway some of us would like a raincheck on last nights race. They supposedly handed out 593 "tech cards" that is almost 600 racers,not counting spectators.

It was fun hanging out and seeing some of the guys again,maybe next time some of us can get atleast one pass in before it closes up.

I wanted to get at least one pass in. About 8pm they said not to bring street cars up until they were called to the staging lanes and they said that would be in about 30 min. We sat there until 10:30 waiting and they never called us so we decided to just go get in line where we sat until they decided to close. I'd like a raincheck next week also!

It was an awsome site to see that many cars show up for a TnT night. The parking lot was full. We started talking about it while we were waiting in the staging lane for 2hr, 593 tech cards @ $20 apiece = $11,860.00 That is just people that were racing (or waiting to race).

I guess it was TnT night for all of us and the track. It will take them a few weeks to get all the bugs worked out of it. I remember when we went to Monroe the first week it opened up after being closed for 3-4 months and they had electrical issues all day long with the timing system. So I'm not mad about last night

are they doing a TNT next friday? Yall wanna get together and go get a few passes in??

Ill be there every weekend until i pull my 14.00 in my slower than stock car.

Yea even though i didnt run alot i still had a good time hangin with everybody. The wife really wants me take her car down the track, she talkin about she wants to put exhaust on it again:D

My only run was 11.60somthing @119mph with a shitty 1.7 60ft

Just when you thought a small-block couldn't be ANY cooler...

Hey guys, thank you all for coming out for the first night. We know we have some issues to iron out. Please be patient, we were not counting on that many cars showing up. There has been a question about unused tech cards from Saturday. If you still have your tech card, it will be good for Friday night. You will still have the $10.00 general admission fee, but you do not have to buy a tech card again. Thanks for the support, it will only get better from here. Thanks

Thanks!

Look what I found.

I know how amazingly tough, bad ass, fast, and everything else those Tundras are after watching all those comericals. So why are they not pulling this trailer with one of their kick ass trucks instead of a CHEVY DURAMAX???? They need to unhook that bullshit from that real truck!!! ;D

If GM still had a leasing plan I would be driving one of them. I just like to get new vehicles too often and buying a new vehicle every year just isnt beneficial for my company. I have 3 other GM vehicles so I can get away with one yota.

Hey Hilton, if you only need one for a day or so, come by the machine shop and I can let you borrow one.

That'd be awesome. I'll call you when I've got everything together. It'll be a while, I'm just trying to get everything lined up.
Thanks.

Wayne and I are going tomorrow night and try to win some of that No/Elec. money.

Wayne and I are going tomorrow night and try to win some of that No/Elec. money.

how exactly does that no electronics work? what qualities and how do you race?

It's just Bracket Racing, you'll get a couple of time trial passes, then dial in your time & eliminations start. If you get eliminated there will be one buy back round more then likely the first round or you can go to the TnT lane and make passes all night. I think the street class will be running for prize money also, but no buy back. They are having a drivers meeting at 7 pm for input on all classes Saturday.

But why is it called no electronics?

N/E does not mean cars with EFI are illegal, it just means you can not use any type of device on your car that aides you in cutting a good reaction time or help you run on your dial in. That would be no delay box, no crossover box, no throttle stops and you have to leave off the foot brake.

If you have that kind of devices on your car you would get over in the Super Pro class and it suck because it is ruled by mostly dragsters that are capable of running in the 7's but only run 8.9 or 9.9's thanks to the throttle stops and stuff. In S/P if you were to dial in a 12.02 and you run a 12.05 with a light that is slower than about a .020 you will lose 90% of the time. If you can make that same run in N/E you will never lose.

N/E is for guys like us. There is usually cars that run anywhere from 19 seconds all the way down into the 9 second zone in N/E.

Here is an example of throttle stop on a S/P car
Watch the dragster on the right lane.

I spent most of this past week down in jonesboro, and if you've ever been down there, you know what the roads are like. I can now see the appeal of off road rally racing(while speeding).
And on top of that, I never saw a cop the whole time. Super fun.:D

Everyone missed a great chance to walk away with a pocket full of money last night in the Street Bracket race at Thunder Roads Raceway. The track put up a $500 purse and I was the only car to enter Street. I'm not going to take something that I did not race for, so I told Sam to keep the money and I would move over to No/E and race. They also had a dialing for dollars in Street, $10 to enter and you win half of the pot. I also gave that back to the track as I was the only Street car entered. The purse in No/E was $750, but I did not fair that well. Won my first round run dead on 13.15, had a bad light second round and lost by 27 thousand. Come on people get out and race.

With the economy like it is sam would have lost that $500 dollar had i entered street ;)

I wanted to race but one of my pro star skinnies decided to crack on me :mad: I had to use my old dry rotted street tires so i could get around on :bang: Now i need a pro star skinny so i can get back to the track but i won't be able to order one for a few weeks.

Does anyone know where or who has some Greg Weld skinnies? They are cheaper than the weld pro stars and i can almost get a pair for the cost of a weld pro star.

Just wondering if any of my northern La guys need a nitrous bottle heater? PM me if so.

Scott, my dad hit something in the road last year on the way home from the track and killed one of his Weld Pro Stars so he bought a set of Summit skinnies. He said he'd take $50 for the good one if you're interested

Wayne, if they do something like that in twoo weeks then your gonna have to race me for that $500 :D No matter who wins we'll still be eating a big steak afterwards :nod:

The EFI Race Team could have had steak & a cold one. We need to talk the track up with our friends & neighbors to get fans in the stands. Great staff, clean restrooms, & good food/good price. When we say bad things we are turning people away and that will not keep us a home track for long.

Well Ive been preoccupied with a new lady and the car, but the track is calling and I plan making a showing on my next saturday off which is in 2 weeks. I plan on doing just the bracket class unless I do something substantial to the car that will need some kind of adjustments. See yall soon.

Wednesday 6-18-09 we're going to have another little wrench turner around the house!

The c-section is scheduled for 10am, should have him out around noon! Hootie Hooo! Baby in two days... holy shit.

Congrats to you and the misses, Hilton. They grow up way too fast. I would like to also commend Wayne for being a class act. Not too many people would have done that. I have personally not met him, but i was told what he did. If you ever get over to the fuel station, stop by and say Hi

What are the prices on the fuels and nitrous?

Congrats to you and the misses Hilton and that beautiful little girl will have a brother come Wednesday. Thunder Road I will stop by the fuel station and visit soon.

What are the prices on the fuels and nitrous?

thats a good question, I'd like to know as well for curiosity sake.

Nitrous is $4.75 per lb.
VP C-12 108 octane $10.50 gal.
VP C-16 117 octane $13.50 gal.
VP M1 Methanol $5.50 gal.

If your bottle gets to hot to fill, i have a freezer in the fuel shack that i can put it in. Also works well for 12 packs and frozen drinks. LOL

So is there a pump for the nitrous or do yall just gravity fill?

+1 ^^^^

We have a pump station at the track. It just seems that most the bottles i get to fill build up high pressure before they get full. They need to be chilled and they will fill to capacity alot faster without the high bottle pressures.

If the saturday schedule holds true then this saturday is fart can day and the next saturday (im off) is index racing. Will I be alone?

I don't think you will be alone Josh. I for one want to look at the index racing.

Does anyone have the A/C brackets from there car? I need to mound my compressor but cant seem to fing the bracket for it. I might have over looked it when we got the car. I also need a cover for my heater core.

If the saturday schedule holds true then this saturday is fart can day and the next saturday (im off) is index racing. Will I be alone?From what I see on Thunder Road Raceway Park site there will be a index for us.

Where were you saturday, steve? I don't think we would be in the same index, almost but not yet:engarde:. You know I'll line up with anybody anytime, but I would hate to win because you run under the index.:D

How exactly do the index classes work??

The index classes are something like 11.00 11.50 12.00 and 12.50 and your car runs 12.30's you will have to try and slow it down to a 12.50. The idea is to get your car dialed into which ever index you are closest to and try to run that number every time. Example, last Sat in the 2700ft altitude I could only run a best of 11.96, so I would have had to got in a 12.00 index and try to run 12.000 everytime without going into the 11's.

IMO, index racing is for people who suck at bracket racing. The way it is suppose to work is like this. Pick the index closest to what you can run and that is the guys you race against heads up style. So if you are a 12.00 index car you should run only 12.00 cars. I can tell you right now that it will not work that way because you will never get enough cars in each index to run, so it will end up with all the index racers in one class leaving on a handicap start just like bracket racing. 12.0 car vs 11.0 car = 1.0 sec jump for slower car. So in the end it will be just about the same as bracket racing except you don't dial in your cars time. In most cases you have to figure out how to slow down or pick up a tenth or two

I have a Maroon BlackBerry Curve 8310 for sale if anyone is interested in it. Was bought in feb but we are no longer with AT&T. It has a few scratches on the back from sitting it down but nothing major. Asking $100 obo.

The phone was upgraded to 4.5 operating system.

you know i been thinking about this index class thing......i cant say i have ever slowed my car down on purpose, every shitty run i made i made it was honest. I dont think i would fair too well in index class, i dont even know how to run slow on purpose, I always do it on accident.

Thus the reason i dont index race. Bracket racing is fun though.

I'm telling you index racing is for guys that can't bracket race but just happen to have a car that fits into one of the indexes;) The only people that bitch about bracket racing are the ones that suck at it. And their whole argument about bracket racing not being close racing and boring to watch hasn't been to a bracket racing event like one of EFI racing events and see just how close it really is when good racers are competing.

Every first thursday of the month at the wataburger in longview there is a "cruise-in" starting about 5 hours ago...HOT RODS ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are trying to get some people to join us the first thursday in July.

I'm with chris on the index, but I just wanna run and avoid all of the TnT traffic so the index is gonna be the way to go for me that day. I used to be one of those guys that didn't understand bracket racing or index and when I met chris and wayne, they got me into it and it's a damn blast to do. I'll never forget lufkin earlier this year. Where's Bob? I want some more of that Impy :engarde: that was the highlight of my night that day. Even though I got knocked out on the next run. Those guys (like chris said) will make you a damn good bracket racer. Those boats are consistent and fast. I prefer the bracket racing, but like I said, I want to run the car and that saturday just happens to be index day so I'll take what I can get. Need to get ready for memphis. Just hope it isn't too late to get a decent hotel.

Another thing. All of these new camaro's running around is giving me the bug. They look pretty damn tough rolling down the road and I'm trying damn hard to fight the urge to go get one. Every time I pass a chevy dealer I keep trying to steer in there, but the truck won't let me cause it knows it's ass would be gone if they had an SS sitting on the floor haha.

Josh I agree. For myself, though, from a practicality standpoint, my Z isn't finished, and so I can't get rid of her till I'm done with her. You, though, are sorta in a different boat.... yep, they sure do look tough on the street...mean looking front end when it's sitting at a light across the intersection from ya... :devil:

When are you returning to the lower 48 Cody?

Hey Hilton it's D-day, best wishes to you and the misses on the new arrivial. Cigar & a cold one anybody?

When are you returning to the lower 48 Cody?

i would never come back the lucky bastard......I hope he drinks some kind of fruity ass hawaiian drink for me while he's there.:chug:

Index racing sucks, sucks, sucks!!! I could probably ease into the 12.50 real easy, though.:D Of course, another thing they don't tell you is, that the guys who want to run index, have brakes, and you ain't gonna stand a chance footbraking against them, especially on a Pro tree!:barf:

I dearly miss bracket racing, at the street level. Unfortunately, nobody wants to do it.

I used to be pretty good.:eyes:

Well i done a few mods to my car a few minutes ago. Descreened the maf, T/B bypass, and opened up my air box. Its not a drag car but it does feel a little faster.

Hey guys,

I have some stuff from the hot rod I'm wanting to get rid of. Just thought I would check with the local crowd to see if any you guys need any of this stuff.

Edelbrock stepped headers with an SLP Y-pipe: $175.00

Custom made, 3" back over the axle stepped to 3 1/2", single exhaust, with single chamber Flowmaster muffler: Asking $250.00 or $400.00 for the whole exhaust with the headers and Y-pipe

Moser Ford 9" rear end, narrowed 1" per side, 31 spline axles, spool, rear brakes and rotors, welded on LCA relocation brackets, torque arm bracket, adjustable panhard rod, drain plug, welded on sway bar brackets, and longer 1/2" ARP will studs. I'm keeping the the center section and gear. The spool goes with this, but you will need to buy a center section and gear: Asking $1100.00

BMR Extreme torque arm, powder coated red, this has already been cut and installed on to BMR boxed subframe connectors, so it would weld right in if you already have a set: Asking $375

Weld Pro Stars, 15x10 with 6.5" backspacing, with some 315/60/15 MT drag radials on them, tires aren't much good, these wheels and tires fit perfect on the above rearend: Asking $300.00

I will do a package deal on the rear end, torque arm, and wheels for $1650.00

If any intrest let me know and I get some pics out. The whole exhaust is off the car, the rear end is still under the car. Should be out by next weekend. If you have any questions, give me a call: (318) 364-6254 Thanks!

You guy think I can get $5000 for my car if I put it back close to stock and try to sell it. Stock tq arm, 10 bolt, ls1 intake, 6 speed and stock wheels. It will only have a racing seat in it though :) I am going to put the m6 back in it this coming week and invite all of you wannabe 6 speed drivers to class for some free lessons;)

If I had $5k I'd buy it. I'll put the word out. I know a guy thats looking actually. I'll see him tomorrow and let you know something.

Why are you getting rid of it?

I just need a track only car right now and that is the sole purpose of the red TA. Plus I'm getting ready to possibly jump ship at GM and take the buyout and $25000 car voucher Aug 1st. Gotta down size some. I might buy another one later on after all this crap at GM is over.

hey coleman i might be interested in your MAF, if you still have it what do you want for it?

Don't forget tonight is TnT at the track. gates open at 5:00 pm. Hope to see ya'll out there.

I need an oil dipstick. Dont need the tube for it just the stick. Anybody got one??

Got bored after installing new plugs and decided to try out the new camera. This is the Jegs catback I ordered. Tell me what ya'll think. Good or bad.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsm7cUZM_ZY

Sounds good Josh. Picture quality is great on the camera, been wanting to get myself one. Well, I went out fri and cut a few 11.9 passes and some 1.5 60fts at thunder road. It was hot and humid as holy hell lol. I had sweat pouring off me swapping tires. I'll go back when it cools off a little. Also found out I am slipping the rim inside the tire on the launch with a little help from Ashley's makeup bag. About 1.5in on every launch

Well i didnt like the 2010 SS camaro before and now i dislike it even more. I run one tonight on the street, both autos, him with TCS, and on blacktop. We run a few times from a dig, first run i got him out the hole and held him back till about 80. Second run was about the same bot of these times he come by and put about a car on me. The third run he left on the 2nd honk and i took chase. He put about to on me out the hole and SLOWLY pulled after that. Keep in mind That this is a race between a bone stock SS2 camaro and a LS1/2 Trans am. It seems like the more i run my car the happier i am. I looked on youtube to see what they run stock and its looking like mid 13.s on a good hook so im still saying my car will run a 14.0 or a real high 13. like it sits. Too bad i wont know for sure, Mods will be done next week.:secret2:

Air sure is thick out tonight, both cars are probably about 3 to 4 tenth slower than a good night. The Goat was 2 tenths slower last night at the track, and tonight is about the same kind of air or a little thicker.

-Coleman

Yea very true, I also got to drive Chazz's SS tonigh:D. It is a awsome car but it was on street tire and didnt want to hook at all. The rear end wont last long if he shifts like me lol. On the 1-2 shift the back tire come off the ground and the rear bottomed out. When the tires hit the ground it bit very hard. I wish it would have been on DRs so i could have gotten a good launch out of it. This was also my first time driving a LS1 M6 camaro, anyone want to trade for a T/A? lol J/K. BTW Chazz you have a very nice car!!!

Sounds like the bad driver mod to me. The more I learn about them the more I'm actually impressed by them.
With that engine you've got you wouldn't have a chance against someone who knew what they were doing.

They run 13.8s on youtube. I ran a 14.4 spinning. You would be surprised how good the 5.3 truck cam pulls in the bottom end.

Dude, 13.8? That's what a LT1 car runs.
Oh, you finally got the T/A out to the track to see what it runs?

yea it went 14.4 at 100.77 opening night of the track. I was up in the first 20 to go down the track which = spinning through 1st. Steve was there and can vouch for the track sucking that night. I was also on street tires and full weight. If your LT1 runs 13.8 ill run you in my stock 5.3 T/A for how ever much you want to run for and ill loan you some slicks.:chug:

You would be suprised Shane, sometimes a really sticky tire can hurt you more than a little slippage. Meg's GTO ran it's best pass with a little bit a tire spin, Friday night I think the car was actually hooking a little too much. Theses LS series engines need a stall SOOOO bad!!

-Coleman

Ill be stalled in the next week or so with hedders and some nitrous. What do you think it will pull on 100 shot?

1,800 to 5,500 instantly is a little more than slippage lol. I know some tire spin will save you from the bog and in the blue car i couldnt stop the bog with slicks.

Yeah, I'm sure the track was shit being brand new.
I'm not a betting man but when I finally find the time to make it out there I'll take ya up on that offer just for shits n' giggles.

You better mod because my stock days will be over this week. Im not trying to be an ass and i hope you dont take it that way but as many LT1s as i have run with my car i say there is no way. Ive gotten some stock and some modded and it cant be that everyone dont know how to drive.

Ill be stalled in the next week or so with hedders and some nitrous. What do you think it will pull on 100 shot?

Lot of variables there Shane (ie. what stall and brand, what headers, what N2O kit, what rearend gears, tuning and so on) It should be fun to drive either way! :nod:

-Coleman

HA! You'd better be faster than me with LT's and NOS.
I was talking about the 2010 SS, it had the bad driver mod.

Stall is a 2,800 to 3,000 not sure what brand. Headman step hedders and a could fusion 100 wet shot with stock gear. 3:08 or 3:42 is my guess on gears. When it hits the track it should be on a 30x9x15 M/T full slick. No tune just yet, when i go it will be worth my while lol. Unless i can get someone to tinker with it here in town. ;)

HA! You'd better be faster than me with LT's and NOS.
I was talking about the 2010 SS, it had the bad driver mod.

I wouldnt say that. He is a well known drag racer here around town.

How do you plan on fitting a 30" tall tire on one of these cars?

-Coleman

If it dont fit i also have a set of 26x10x16s ET street i can throw on it. lol.

Who has a New Camaro that is an avid drag racer?

-Coleman

If it dont fit i also have a set of 26x10x16s ET street i can throw on it. lol.

Those would probably take a lot less work :D

-Coleman

I haven't heard of him. Must have been haulin a couple bags of cement in his trunk when yall' ran. lol:rotflmao:

Ill have to get his name tomorrow. Ill ask Gary or Darrell in the morning. Almost everyone out tonight knows him pretty well. He also has a fully tubbed out s10 street truck. I know his name but cant think of it, If ill do ill pm it to you.

He works for Wicker construction, does that help???

Can't think of anyone, what color did he get?

-Coleman

Nope. Not at all. I'm not into the street racing scene. I just like to drive fast.

Its looks like imperial blue metallic to me.

It wasn't Jason Oswald was it?

-Coleman

His name is Dane C. If you dont know it off top ill Pm it to you.

Don't know him, but glad to here the New Camaros are getting out and about. I freaking love them!!

-Coleman

I just dont really car for them. I like the 07-08 concept they had. It actually looked like the 1st gen camaro (what they went for). The new camaro looks to much like the Challenger which i do like just because it looks like old muscle with a new touch.

If they would have kept this i would have to have one. It looks like a camaro to me.

Steve, you can borrow my dipstick to get you back on the road until you can find a permanent replacement. I won't be needing it for a while.

Congratulations!!! Oh and i cant buy something that dont have a price unless your feeling generous. lol:angel:

I told you $311, a 12 pack Bud Light, some hot peanuts, and a small packet of beef jerky.

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there.

Wait until those 2010 Camaros start getting run by guys that can actually drive a 6 speed. 4000lbs+ is a lot of weight to get moving and they are on 20" WHEELS!!! Try to put 350-385rwhp down with those monsters on your car. They probably weigh 85 lbs a piece.

They will be just like the 98-02's, it's going to take some time to figure out what they like. Those new camaros are probably getting killed by torque management as bad as my Avalaunche is. At full throttle the pcm is only allowing me 83% according to Hp tuners

Weight is everything! My car has weighed everywhere from 3600 down to 3300 with me in the car and it is a lot harder to launch one with an extra 300lbs on it. You have to drive totally different at full weight to make it run.

You guy think I can get $5000 for my car if I put it back close to stock and try to sell it. Stock tq arm, 10 bolt, ls1 intake, 6 speed and stock wheels. It will only have a racing seat in it though :)

Sale pending

Sale pending$5000 could get some nice things for a certain red firebird or buy a certain black TA :D

Yea, it's go time

hey guy im looking for a LS1 shortblock in decent shape if you know of one or have one you want to get rid of let me know.

thanks

I've got a 98 block that's disassembled. The crank will need to be turned, 7 of the rods and pistons are in great shape. I'll probably have another good rod and piston once I get the other engine out of my car. No oil pan / or truck oil pan if you can use it.

Things are coming along. I've ordered injectors, lifters, rod bolts, rocker arms, custom camshaft, and gaskets. I can't order push rods yet, but I've got the push rod length checker. I'm also going to need a battery. Sam's club for that one.

TA Chris came over yesterday and helped put the rear end back in. Soon as the rear wheels are back on I'm going to start pulling the engine.

This morning I'm taking the young'en to the doctor to have his circumcision checked out. I'm telling you that was brutal. His future wife and all the ladies along the way will thank me. He'll also be happy when he gets to 7th grade and hits the showers.

Where's everyone been? Who's goin to the track saturday to run index with me? Sucks they don't have a 12.0 class. If they do then I overlooked it.

Chris, did you sell your car? If not, I pretty sure I have it sold for ya.

Car is sold. My cousin is getting it.:punch:

Yea, it's sold. I had to go to Chevyland today and order some pressure plate bolts. Everything was all together except those damn bolts and there is nowhere else to get any from. So unless they get them tomorrow it won't be ready until next week sometime.

I'm not having a good day at all. First I find out my job is about to be gone and then I went out to the garage and find out some piece of shit scumbag stole my daughters brand new bike. All I can say is god must have been on who ever took it's side tonight because if I would have found them I'd be in jail tonight and there'd be one less fucking thief on the street.

Dang Chris! I hate to here all that. I can't freakin stand a damn thief!

Any takers for my stock mildly ported Throttle body? $75?

Damn, it just keeps getting worse! Now Micheal Jackson dies!:twisted: KARMA is a killer ain't it?

LOL im poor folk. You take IOU's? I really thought you sold it already when you said something to the guy on here looking for a short block. Im trying but its been a up and down battle. I had several people wanting work done this week and noone came through.:bang:

Hope to see you guys at TnT tonight. Gates open at 7pm now. Racing from 8pm to 1 am.

its actually not that bad after 8. I drove mine today with the AC on full blast and it was ice cold. Hooray for not stripping my car down to where its miserable to drive in this weather. :cool:

Who's miserable? I drove mine to work 3 days this week without a bead of sweat

sorry it took so long to reply but i decided to just part the car out.

thanks for the offer

Well Hilton it looks like its still waiting on me lol. You never did answer my question about taking IOUs lol. J/K

who all went to the track?? how was it hooking tonight?

who all went to the track?? how was it hooking tonight?

I was the only hot sumbitch there. It hooked ok. My best 60 was a 1.64. I did get a 1st place trophy for the 12.50 index. I was the only one haha. Had to make one pass and lifted when I shifted into 4th and ran a 13.8. Best pass was a 12.1. Need to order that cutout I think........of course it was hotter then camel nuts so that didn't help either.

Last time I went I got so hot even my jeans were soaked from swapping tires. When is everyone going to the next tnt? Maybe we can catch a cool night around 70* or so. I know they do that midnight madness thing now. It was starting to cool down just as I was leaving. I am not sure if they post times during that though, I thought it was arm dropping??

The track was hooking good. Gary Medders did a wheelstand the entire 1/8th mile in a Chevy II. Funny thing is, he did not spin his tires while wheelstanding like Vin Diesel does when he does a wheelie?? That was awesome!! Also there is no more Midnight Madness, we are doing TnT from 8pm to 1am and gates open at 7pm. blue98Z, thanks for coming out. Wish there would have been some competition for you.

I really wanted to come out, but it was just too damn hot! I wish they would run a program for us 'street cars" on Friday nights! I think I could have covered the 12.50 index, although I probably would have had to add a little weight, or close the cutouts!:D

I've run index at almost all the local tracks, and it's never lasted. I applaud them for trying, though.

index racing :bang: Hell i don't know why they won't throw in a bracket class with the index class? You can have a index class,bracket class and a lane for T&T on saturday nights. It's not like thunderroad has a big IHRA or Outlaw race twice a month. Throw it all in one pot and race....car count should go up because their is something for everybody.....we don't have to see thunderroad come in here and cry that nobody showed up for their index racing again because....you guessed it! Their is something for EVERYBODY!

PS index racing sucks A$$!

Maybe they will wise up and say "hey we just gave away another $500 because we only had one car in the class,this ain't working".
