New Orleans - shreveport/bossier hang out!

It's been good and sticky for me for the last few months

Didn't get a clean run since my knock sensors started acting up. Threw a SES light about 80ft from the traps so I got out of it immediately and ran a 13.1. I think it might of popped a high 12 had that not happened. Either I'm right or my mind is playing tricks on me, but I sware putting that LS6 intake on raised my power band some. I was crossing the traps around 6200 now I'm crossing at 6500 and where the shift light comes on is too close to shift into 4th cause it will kill my ET. Does this make sense?

It's been good and sticky for me for the last few months

Really? The last time I went I was leaving sideways all night. Shift to 2nd and go sideways again. I always get stuck in the left lane which usually when that happens, but friday the left was hooking good.

I did have a good laugh on my pass though. That little honda was banging rev limiter at the tree and I started laughing then killed that awful noise with an 8 cylinder symphony.

was there a decent show of TnT cars there or slim pickins?

Kinda slim in my opinion.

brand new vette? what do they have out now 08 models?

Yeh,its an 08. Its allocated to the dealer, I just have to wait for it.

^^^thats gonna be nice. i wasn't too fond of the C6s when they first showed up, but now i like them.

Scott, I've been telling you your susp. was the problem after watching you launch several times. I'm glad you got it figured out. Man you should have been at RRR Friday, it was STICKY!

Josh, I knew that was it.

Yeah,it started changing late last year. Watching the videos of the LSX shootout i found that i was not getting any weight transfer off the nose,so i had to go with the QA1 shocks and springs to get the car to transfer the weight like it used to do but when that happened the stock swaybar could not handle it and started twisting badly at full extention.

I have changed the TB,MAF,Lid,28" MT DRs,QA1 shocks and springs,LCA,4.11 gears,spohn drag sway bar and played around with some little things on the suspension as well. If i can get the other 3-4 things going by october i exspect to start seeing the full potential of the 6.0L motor then. <caugh>vicjrntaksdtunnoscontrolr<caugh> :D

How did the maiden voyage of the auto transmission go for you?

was there a decent show of TnT cars there or slim pickins?There was 4 of us from EFI Club that showed up to test&tune, but the super pro and no e cars invited us to run with them in the jackpot race. Now this is where I get to brag on our little race club, we ran the no e side. Josh had car trouble, Chris & I made one round, here's the part I like Johnny Ainsworth was the winner in no e. Johnny drives his car to the track and was knocking the tree down all night, until he went up for the jackpot round. Where he red lighted with a strong super pro winner in the other lane. That was some great R/T's that Johnny was getting and he was putting them back on & in their trailers. It just does my heart good to see a car driven to the track and running that good. Congratulations Johnny Ainsworth

i have to admit, im getting pretty excited about my cam swap. i finally am rounding up the final pieces, only thing left im waiting on is the msd wires and new plugs to come in then im set. im gonna hook up with greg for a quick reflash to get me back on track and then it should be running good. i mean its running great now so this cam should only make it better. i know its not the biggest but i think its gonna be a good improvement. im thinking LCA relo brackets next with some et streets. i dont drive the car much anyway and hilton seems to like his. i think that should be good for a good reduction in ETs. my only concern is how much louder my exhaust is gonna get with this swap. its already ignorant loud when i mash on it and with this stall i have to see at least 3Ks to get the car moving. any thoughts?

How did the maiden voyage of the auto transmission go for you?
I remember your car doing some crazy stuff when you were launching it. It would pull the nose some and then the back would go up and it looked like it was yanking the rear drivers wheel off the ground and unloading the suspension. I think that will help you out a ton. I'm planning on a spohn bar for mine as the next mod.

The auto is fun on the track but the t brake will really take some getting use to. I only used it about 2-3 times and they were wimpy 2000rpm launches that still produced 1.60-1.63 short times! So it's gonna be a killer when I do balls up and hit it with all 4000 stall! I matched my best ever 6 speed 60ft of 1.590 and never really left very hard and that was foot braking it. But it would only run almost to the 1000ft mark before I ran out of gear and had to coast to a best of 11.83@113. Every trans company I talked to told me my setup with 4.30's and 28" tires was good for 124mph @ 6400rpm but it wasn't even close!

Your gearing may be lower than you think causing you to run out of motor on the big end. 4.11s won't make much difference for you at all. I would throw some 3.70s to it and see what happens. I ran them up to april and put 4.11s in mine with the 28" tires but have yet to try them.

Chris the stall converter is what is keeping rpms up they never actually get a 1 to 1 input to output speed I would think to get 124 mph with tires and gears rpm will be close to 6800 to 7000 rpm. Get you a two step on the t-brake and watch the front end get some good airtime.

Greg, it's gonna be few more weeks and I'll be calling you for a tune. I last talked to you about it in march, but got way behind schedule on house stuff and work. I got everything I need so just a few more weeks if not less. I'll send you another PM in a few days to square away payment. Only thing I'm waiting on are titanium retainers.

Chris, I should have my 3.50's out next week if you still want to try them. I'll call you when I get them out and see.

Yea a 2 step is next and maybe some good air pics

Here is a picture of the spohn 1" drag sway bar,if some of you are interested in getting one.

so any thoughts on whether or not this 224 cam is gonna make my exhaust louder? free beer to whoever wants to turn a wrench.

I got $5 on it that says it gets louder :nod:
Steve don't forget to holla at me when you git ready.

give yall a progress report. this is where we started.

Looks like you got a head start on me. I'll be doing mine next weekend hopefully. Now that we're in the new house, I can get started back on the car.

Good thing I left when I did. We were running out of beer. I'll see you in the morning after I catch all the fish out of the Red River.

somebody wanna play once i get my new baby up and running? a 1973 amc gremlin, with a 401? lol

btw way i really set my dreams high. when i say this has been my dream car for many years. lol

old rockers and old cam is out.
http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj294/01ssreda4/100_0830.jpg
new cam is in!!! new crank sprocket is on.
http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj294/01ssreda4/100_0831.jpg

you guys been quiet this weekend. hey cody we are finishing up tomorrow, you coming to drink some cold ones?

Steve, looking good dude! And yeah, finally count me in. Caytie got a new job, and she wont be off till 5ish so I have all day to drink with yaz and help where I can. Her folks are headed out at 9:30am...and I gotta run a few errands in the morn, but I'll be there! What's your timeframe for tomorrow?

timeframe is me and hilton have to work so this aint happening till 5pm. so thats a predicament for you huh.:D:D the little lady or your boys???:kiss::kiss::kiss:

HA! I shall school you gentlemen in the Art of Compromise. I'll be there, don't you worry your little heads :nod:

I made it home safely.

Car sounds great! Can't wait to see what it does once it's tuned by the champ!

There was less bleeding than I expected in the installation of this cam.

This post is also to prove that a man who's not entirely sober can still spell words correctly.

great job hilton....and yes the car does run great so far but im curious about the no service engine light...maybe i should check the bulb.

hey hilton you member how it started right up last night? well it was being nice. its struggling a lot worse to stay running today though. took it down the street and its running good though once you get going.

Glad to hear it. Get a couple of heat cycles on those springs and let Greg do his magic.

Here's an idea: Just run the fucker balls to the wall all the time... kinda like you did 10 min. after first crank. That'll clear that shit right up! :D

hey cody, you wanna run that slow piece of sh**???:D:D

was having oil pressure issues that had to addressed before greg got a hold of the car so i took a couple accel vids. problem fixed.

Looks pretty quick.

A cammed, stalled, automatic? You better believe I'm spraying your ass.

A cammed, stalled, automatic? You better believe I'm spraying your ass.

not scare of a slow "we're too sorry to shift for ourselves" auto are you? put the gas down and take this like a man sissy.:D

http://www.gearzoneproducts.com/productimages/511tactical/59252-b.jpg

Hey Hilton, "if you are really wanting to run an auto I am sure that my Z will not mind if you use the gas." It has been along time, have you been over to marks lately?

Yeah, I was over there Wednesday. He has the best beer in town. You have my number? Let's get together.

hilton like my nemo story?

For a story teller, you're a pretty good welder. Fsh.

Steve:
What kinda oil pressure problem didja have? What was the fix?

oil pressure was spiking down during full throttle. changed the oil filter and topped her off and it stays pegged now.....what ya doing sunday cody?

Hello again. After selling my 98 Formula a few months ago I picked up another F body. It is a 99 Trans Am M6 and it is bone stock down to the paper filter, it still has skip shift, lol. I was wondering if any of you guys had any used go fast parts laying around that you want to sell. I am looking for a lid, cat back, LS6 intake, or any other bolt ons to get me started. Let me know. Thanks

me and hilton can fab you up some true duals.......

How much?

we can work out a sweet deal:chug:

PM sent. The daily driver is back in business; maybe it's time to put the Camaro back under the knife.

I didn't mention it in the PM, but are you interested in a low mile LS1 that already has a Torquer v.3 cam in it, with the LS6 intake, springs, etc? All of a sudden I'm itching to find some more cubes.

I don't have the cash to buy the whole setup. But I would be interested in the cam and intake. If you want to sell it without parting it my brother has a 67 camaro that he is wanting to do an LS1 conversion. He might be interested.

im guessing hilton may wanna borrow the auto for a while after his car has been missing a motor for a few months......

I gotta do something to this car. I think I will at least do the free ram air this weekend. I have a Pro 5.0 shifter on the way also. The stock shifter sucks.

It just hit me. I have the absolute slowest LS1 Trans Am in this area. I have to get some cash together so I can at least keep you guys tail lights in sight.

Hey your in luck i got a extra k&n and lid you can have the only prob is the lid has some cracks but i there small an think they can be epoxeyed so if you want it let me know

I'll take them off your hands.

I'll take them off your hands.

ok then. ill pm you tomorrow so we can set up a time and place

Cool. Thanks.

Yeah, tell your brother. I'd want to sell the whole thing. It's still in the car, he can come over and hear it run, ride in it, drive it, whatever.

Blown383 I have a SLP Loudmouth 1 just sitting in my garage. If you want it, I'll let it go for a $100. It still looks good and I still have all of the clamps for it. We could put it on at the house if you wanted. I'm living in Stonewall now. I moved out of Logansport.

Oh yeah, I finished my cam install yesterday. Just thought I would let ya'll know. Car sounds awesome. My oil pressure seems low though. If I give it some gas it goes up, but goes right back to around 30psi maybe. I slid the o-ring over the pick up tube so I don't think it got pinched. Any ideas?

well i had huge oil pressure issue after some miles, turned out to be a clogged oil filter. i got the 295 pump so didn't expect much better pressure then stock. it wasn't. just a tad higher. you have 30 psi cold idle or hot idle? ses light?

I think it's fine. I drove it today and the gauge acts like it should. I thought my stocker was on the way out since it was also idling at that pressure, but I guess not. This new one is a stocker just ported and polished for better flow not pressure so I guess it's all good. Now I think I have a lifter tapping so now I have to address that problem.

I had a 98 m6 that had a lifter tap and when it warmed up to running temp it would go away. It did this for 20000 miles. I put in a set of lifters and it still made the same noise just not as loud. I sold the car for 5k and about 3 weeks later it spun a rod bearing.

Don't tell me that. Of course mine is a 98 car with a 99 motor. I know that doesn't make much of a difference, but I have heard alot of bad things about the 98 blocks. Of course this particular motor sat up about a year before it was put into my car so that may have alot to do with it. One point behind the cam swap was to replace all the gaskets that had started leaking from sitting up so long. Chris I got a post in the internal section about it. Let me know what you think. I think it's gonna be that #8 exhaust lifter since I had somewhat of a problem out of it.

I get 62psi at idle and around 80psi at WOT.

Sounds good to me. Let me know when.

I'm off monday and tuesday if you wanna come look at it. Then I'm off that weekend also. Just give me a call on my cell 318-268-0184 after 3pm. I'm on the graveyard shift at the moment. Names Josh.

I will give you a call. Thanks.

Anything going on this weekend?

well greg came down to give my tune a once over. everything looked pretty good but it was a little off. he got me fixed up and its running like a champ.

hey hilton how much you want for that ls1 with the T3 cam in it??? the motor in my truck is gonna go soon and ive been looking to put an ls1 in it

pm sent about the engine.

well greg came down to give my tune a once over. everything looked pretty good but it was a little off. he got me fixed up and its running like a champ.

Well damn. I was wanting to get with ya'll whenever Greg came down so that he could do mine also so that he wouldn't have to make an extra trip. I'll have to give him a call I guess.

^^^^sorry buddy didn't know.

It's my fault for draggin ass. Trying to catch up with alot of stuff here and there and it's starting to get frustrating. I'm thinking of just putting the car on hold until winter so I'll have more time to dedicate to it. I can putt around in it untuned if I want to drive it bad enough. Just no racing. It sounds badass though.

You will not hurt a thing driving it or racing it without it being tuned. All four of our cars were run hard at the track for 3-4yrs with no tuning and it never hurt a thing. And these four cars probably go to the track more times in a month than most of you go in a year. Damn I wish you guys would quite worring about that and just drive your stuff until you can tune it. :)

Knowing my string of luck here lately, I don't want to push it any farther than I have to.

well she is finally gone. it kinda sux. but then again, im happy the new truck and the extra money.

wow its been quiet in here lately....

I've been thinking the same thing. Anybody lose power during Gustav? I did for about 8hrs.

I hope everyone made it out of Gustav with no damage, we can handle a little power lost. We really did not see any hard rain or high winds in Oil City, we were lucky!

Our lights didn't even flicker. All that preparation for nothing. Kate's parents live in Pineville, and they still don't have power or water. They've got a generator, so it's not THAT bad. My parent's didn't lose power either (Ruston).

I had one pretty good sized limb fall, but it's not in the street, driveway, or ditch, so I'm going to leave it until it drys up a little. I don't want to rut up the yard pulling it with the mower to the burn pile.

My folks lost their entire enclosed back patio/sunroom, storage shed, and about 10 feet of roof shingles. No power down there, they're still running a generator.

Sorry to hear it. Where do they live? You know any carpenters?

thanks for coming over guys.......cody is a seafoam believer now.

Seafoam works!! I used it in my truck and my gas mileage went back up to 19mpg on the hwy from 16mpg. It smoked like a coal train for a little while, but overall I was impressed. I did it to the camaro, but it put one small puff when I hammered it in second and that was it. Nothing changed in it.

Yep mine smoked at idle for quite a while, but when I took it out for a spirited drive, nothing really happened. Maybe I let it sit and idle for too long and it just burned it all out at idle. It's all good, perhaps my engine was just clean like that. She hit 100k about 3 weeks ago!

^^^^it was dark during the spirited drive.

nice truck, how much did it run you?

Good looking house too. When's the get together? The weather is perfect for one.

+1 for the get together. some friendly grudge racing before the track shuts down for the season wouldn't be bad either.

Me and Greg with a few locals are going to RRR tomorrow night. Might as well all meet up there,maybe we can get another date set for a meet at the board walk later on.

Few of us S,port regulars will be there tomorrow

Sorry I couldn't make it, but did my yearly trip to Ennis to watch the big boys run. How did things go?

It was very slick again. I never made a pass without blowing the tires off. I planned to go to Ennis Saturday but I staying out at RRR too late and I ended up over sleeping

October 18th around 5pm for a cookout sound good for everyone? I got a ton of chicken breasts and whole chickens that needs to go to make room for deer meat. I'll also make some of my beans that I like to make with meat and all in them. Ya'll just bring yourselves and whatever you will want to drink.

Yeah, I think so. I'll start rounding up a baby sitter.

i'll be there.....cody you in?

well today on the way home i lost 4th and then 1st when i pulled off the interstate. after shutting it off and restarting everything returned to normal. when i got home i checked the fluid and it looked a quart or so low. i filled it up so hopefully that was it. anyway i say we try to get together and go to the track before it closes for the cold weather. josh / cody/ hilton/ etc / etc yall in? i wanna get a new time with this tr224.

hey yall ill be home on leave starting the 2nd-17th so if yall got anything going on let me know

im trying to get something going

I'll try to make it Josh. You guys need to hit RRR tomorrow night.

01ssreda4, the th224 cam is killer. I just took my TSP 228/588 back out and put the th224 back in. I've gone 11.29 with it and never come close to matching it with the bigger cam.

funny you mention that. after having this cam for a little while and logging some miles on it, lemme give you some impressions. it runs great, but just doesn't give me the hey, im a low eleven second cam feeling. could be my imagination but it only seems slightly faster then before. from a 50 punch it still seems really slow compared to say hilton's car. cody says chris' car runs/feels very fast as well. both of them have far better gear ratios then me plus 6 speeds. maybe the auto/3.23 makes for boring acceleration. greg seems to think the car runs strong. i dont know maybe i need some heads now or possibly a 12 bolt with a 3.73 to spice things up.

Just run it. That's the only way you'll know for sure. I would say with a good set of tires you'd be mid to high 11's since your a full weight car. I'm guessing more in the mid 11's though.

Damn sorry fellaz, I aint logged onto Tech in a WHILE. The October date for the get together sounds awesome, count me in! Also, I'd like to get a few runs in at RRR. I haven't tried to get an ET under my belt since installing the mods so long ago.

ok head count.......next friday at rrr for test and tune. cody? hilton? chris? chris? wayne? josh? josh #2 ha ha?


oct. 10th test and tune

I'll probably be in Memphis for the LSX Shootout next Friday.

Hey guys...name is Joey...I drive a 01' Black SS with a red manta on the hood. I'm down for the 10th! Is there a place in shreveport or bossier we can all meet up at then roll out?

ok head count.......next friday at rrr for test and tune. cody? hilton? chris? chris? wayne? josh?

Josh #2 here plane to be there

I'll be there.

I'm there. Hilton make provisions for an extra driveshaft to be ready and waiting for when you open up The Beast again! :nod:

I gotta work that weekend. Would the 3rd be too short of a notice? I'm planning on running the new truck anyways. Got the Mistress tore down again:secret2:

there is a sonic on north market that would be perfect. its just north of I-220. the absolute earliest i could be there would be 4:45. hilton you riding with me or cody or are you bringing the garage queen? i say 5 would be a great time to meet.......any other suggestions?

5 might be a little early. If I remember right the track isn't opening until 7 or 8 now. The Whataburger has a bigger parking lot and better food in my opinion.

:eyes: i was hoping for a few runs.....nice timing:bang:

It's nothing major. My oil pressure is still staying around 40psi and won't go any higher so I'm gonna pull the pan back off and double check the O ring. If that's not it then Vengeance is gonna have to give me another pump. Besides, I have until the end of November to give you all you want or vice versa lol. I plan to have this problem fixed and the car tuned before the end of November so I can get a few runs in with the cam before it gets too cold. Depending on how it runs, I may just go ahead and drop the engine and freshen it up with a whole new rotating assembly. That should be sweet.

Oh and by the way, Welcome to the Shreveport/Bossier hangout Joey. Great bunch of guys in here. We're having a cookout on the 18th if you can make it. Be good for you to meet everyone and put a face with a car/screen name.

RRR will be closed this weekend for the Division 4 LODRS. If you guys have never seen an A/fuel dragster/funny car make a 1/4 mile pass this is the place to be. There will also be some 9-10 sec Stock LSX cars there in the sportsman classes. Next weekend is NMCA LSX Shootout in Memphis

5 might be a little early. If I remember right the track isn't opening until 7 or 8 now. The Whataburger has a bigger parking lot and better food in my opinion.

well didn't know that. as hilton knows for sure im a rookie at this whole track thing. lets chime in a time so we can get some concrete plans going.

just for fun sake i will throw in some videos of the last time i was at the track.

Heh, I've been on a lot of cold medicine. I thought this was a roll call for the 18th at Josh's house.

I'm not so sure about the RRR trip. My car needs some attention.

gates open at 6. i dont get off till 6 so i would prob meet yall there

I've got the old misfire back again, but will meet ya'll at the track. I hope to get that fixed by then. Man do I ever burn up O2 sensers, just guessing that's what it is again. Hey Chris would you mind putting the lap top on it again to check them out?

Wayne, no problem. I just bought a LC1 and I will have a new Hp Tuners setup here before next weekend also.

"Twelve NONNN??" LOL, that shit never gets old :D

Anything going on tonight with anyone? I'm somewhat of a bachelor tonight and tomorrow. The wife has a party tonight, baby shower(for her sister) and party tomorrow. So...................I need something to do.

I did the whole weekend at Red River Raceway for the LODRS, and thanks Chris for the free passes for Sunday. There really was not many fans in the stands, but there was alot of good racing. Tom Conway's TAD won 5.50's I think & Steve Harker won TAFC 5.66 I believe. Are we still planning to go to Red River this week to play on TnT day?

"Anything going on tonight with anyone? I'm somewhat of a bachelor tonight and tomorrow. The wife has a party tonight, baby shower(for her sister) and party tomorrow. So...................I need something to do."

I'm going to go up to Buffalo Wild Wings tonight and watch the Saints kick the crap out of the Vikings. I'm going to stay until about half time, eat some wings, drink a beer or two, maybe have a piece of chocolate cake.

Ok, 7pm BWW in the Boardwalk. Look for the guy who looks like me.

Are we still planning to go to Red River this week to play on TnT day?

hey dont forget about me:D

ha ha it's all good, the more the merrier. hopefully this weather will hold up. josh you coming out????
since some of us rookies will be coming out. anyone with an extra helmet could bring it, someone might end up needing it.

We have some guys working on setting up a race for us street car guys. Street car = Street legal Lic. tags..... They have not decided how it will be run, bracket or index. They are trying to get an idea of how many people would be interested in this. They have a $500 pot to the winner and a $250 RU pot as of now and it might grow some more. If you are interested post up here and http://efiracing.proboards92.com/index.cgi?board=red&action=display&thread=119
so we can pass it along

wish i would of known somone on here needed a helmet i just sold my extra one for 10bucks

$10!? SUNNAVA.. :bang:

Gates open at 6 pm friday, RRR

i think at 6 we will be headed that way. should be there between 630 and 7.

i am getting a couple of guys together to go to RRR on the 17th, if any of yall are down. I see that you guys are already going this weekend but maybe next fri too? 4-Wheeler ride this weekend so that is out....

Hey guys, for everyone going out to RRR tonite, if you wanna roll out with us we're gonna meet up at Whataburger on N. Market at 6pm. Post up if you're in, that way we'll know to wait a lil' longer if it appears someone is running a bit late.

well the night was ok. a video of me waxing some ass. ah the smell of burnt clutch.
http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj294/01ssreda4/th_100_0898.jpg (http://s275.photobucket.com/albums/jj294/01ssreda4/?action=view&current=100_0898.flv)

great commentary hilton lol. cody needs a new mod.

Yah that particular run wasn't my best last night. Then again, with my best being a 13.4, that doesn't say much. Steve finally got a good launch on that one, i'm confident with the right tire setup that he can touch 11s. My 60' was killing me, and my clutch began to fry on the last run of the night. :bang:

I had a GREAT time last night. I'm NOT having a great time this morning.

Cody, see if you can get my jacket back from Futch. I kinda like that jacket.

Well then, sounds as though some negotiations are in order. You shall receive your jacket via the ransom exchange of a Textralia clutch.

j/k, i'll give him a call.

Had a good time last night, it was really good to see everyone. Damn that crown & 7 was good.

Hated that I missed the night you guys decided to go to the track but I was in Memphis for the LSX Shootout. There was some bad rides there this year! I watched a 5000lbs Trailblazer put a 9.28 on the board! The bad boy LSX DR car put up a 7.44.

Anyone going to the track this weekend? I'll be there trying out a BTE 4800 stall. That should get it done! Who all went out there Friday and how'd they run?

my best run was 12.608 at 110.29. 1fst-z cody ran a 13.464 at 106.65 ( i think that was his best run) the black z28 (josh?) clicked off a 12.00 against me. i saw wayne running some 12.7s. the pewter ws6 was running around 13.7s bone stock. couple of C-6s running 125+ traps.

Chris you missed a night of really good air, everyone was running some good times. And I hate it that I can't remember the guy that ran me on the last pass, but he went by me at about 1000 foot like I wasn't even running with a 12.504. Jump in here and let us know you, you where talking with Josh & I between rounds. Also all you guys try to make it up this friday as we will be racing our next to last points race for the year. If we had ya'll show with our regular guys we would be looking at around a 20 car field and that wouyld be fun.

Anyone with a donor clutch? hehehe...somebody gimme a clutch and I'm there :nod:

Roll call for Saturday. Who's coming and who ain't.

I will be there Friday night

I'm coming too. I've been looking forward to this for a while.

edit:

Roll call for Saturday. Who's coming and who ain't. I will be there Josh, I saw Kristi tuesday and she gave me directions. I'll get lost

whats been up guys? been a while since i was here...

Sure is going to be some cool air tomorrow night :D

Sure is going to be some cool air tomorrow night :DAny of ya'll coming down? Air will be good, but we will have a green track with the rain we had. Track was great last friday following the LODRS the weekend before. The guys on street tires were even getting down the track.

I will be coming down have to bring chris some stuff.

I'll see you there Greg. I'm ready for some schooling!

You know in my case they say "you can't teach an old dog new tricks". Will be good to see the Arkansas gang again, as it's been a while.

I'll meet ya'll in the usual spot :D

Roll call for Saturday. Who's coming and who ain't.

pm me some directions.......im gonna try to make it.....5 pm?

To everyone that's coming saturday to the cookout it will start at 5ish pm. Here are the directions to my house.

If your coming I-49: Go south and exit on the Stonewall exit and turn right at the end of the ramp.
-Stay straight until you get to the light then turn left heading south towards Mansfield.
-When you get to the Chevron gas station start looking for Collinswood drive on the right. It's approximately a 1/4 of a mile. Then go to 573 Collinswood.

If your coming from South Shreveport on Hwy 171:
-Stay south like going to Mansfield,
-When you get to Stonewall stay straight,
-When you get to the Chevron gas station start looking for Collinswood drive on the right about a 1/4 of a mile past the Chevron,
-When you turn onto Collinswood turn left at 573 Collinswood.

IF YOU GET TO NORTH DESOTO HIGH SCHOOL YOU NEED TO STOP AND CALL ME.

If you get lost or have a question call me on my cell 318-268-0184 and I will guide you to the food.

Sounds good. You need anything other than beer brought?> Maybe sausage and beans or corn?

Hilton, I think we're good on everything. Just BYOB.

Wayne, bring on the Crown. I'll be picking up my own bottle tomorrow and you'll have to shoot a little with me. :chug:

As far as everyone, come to have a good time!!! My birthday is Tuesday so ya'll are going to be my party! :rock:

well i got some nitto drag radials mounted on some SS wheels. took it out for a spirited drive tonight. first impressions are.......they dont hook well when cold. heat them and they can hold my car in first. since i have owned this car i haven't fully felt first gear because of traction problems. i think i can cut a way better 60ft then last time next time i go to the track. my best 60 so far is 1.95.

Air was great at the track tonight. I finally took that 12.656 @ 110.32 down to a 12.605 @ 110.39.

Crown you say, Crown & 7 say I. I can do this, hey I don't have to sing happy birthday do I? Everyone would leave the party at the sound of that.

It was a fun night at the track last night,kinda needed something to get me back in the spirit again.

Even though the car was not doing what i wanted,i did get a new best MPH (123.45) on the motor. Maybe i can get the intake and all swaped out before they close the track down,it would be nice to see what it does for me this year instead of having to wait until next march to find out.

Was really good seeing you & Greg last nite, and no I didn't make it on the lake today. It looks like I won't make it to Josh & Kristi's tonight either.

It was a great time. We ate like kings!

It was a great time. We ate like kings!

Thanks Hilton. I'm still eating like one with all of these leftovers. I hated Steve had to leave early. I had a perfect spot where we could've gone to let ya'll settle the score :engarde:

Everyone knows my car is slow. What do you expect from a V6 with a miss and an exhaust leak? I'd be lucky to get out of the 16s.

I meant to take you up on that to-go plate. Damn.

yeah hilton's car is a turd:eyes::eyes:i think if you would leave the bottle closed and from a dig it woulda been a good race. those sumi's woulda gave you lots of traction problems.....plus you cant shift:chug:

edit: btw that race i offered last night is an open invitation. length of the race will determine the winner.

get the car running???:chug:

nope. dont have time

What's wrong with it? I bet two or three more wrenches turning on it would speed up the process.

Chris just called me and said Red River Raceway has shut down. I went to the web site to take a look and Molly said they are done at RRR. I guess we new this was coming, what a drag.

Man that sucks! It's not a shock though me and greg were told this early this summer that it was going to happen. Maybe someone will step up and take it over this winter :confused: You guys are more than welcome to come race with us at prescott.

On a side note i find it hard to swallow that nobody will step in and try to take the track over,to nice of a facility to let set and ruin.

I agree Scott. You can bet we'll be in Prescott

this sucks balls..........sorry thats the only thing that came to mind. damn i was gonna run a 12.0 soon.

Chris & I had talked of where to go this coming year and Prescott was the answer for us. So it looks like you'll be seeing us up your way Scott.

I wonder if it's for sale, and if so, how much. There's bound to be money there.
1. Advertise, and post results where people can show off their times, or at least the results of the little weekly bracket races.
2. Hire someone with personality to run commentary on the races. Keep it interesting for the people in the stands.

Molly said Wilhite Electric said its for sale for 1.5 million. but I've been told it can be bought for $800-850K. I've been told this by 2 different people today. That place has to be a steal @ 1million.

It is for sale! Break the Piggy Bank open Hilton.

Yeah right. Like I've got a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of.

been quiet lately. hilton stop blowing motors it makes everyone leave tech

LOL, fuh real. Hey Steve, cool if I stop by this afternoon?

Also, I posted a thread in the Axles/Rear-end section about my noisy shit.

good deal. old lady is making homemade chili......anyone read the calling joshua to the street thread?? shit is halarious.

which forum is it in?

*N/M, found it.*

who has a factory/stock cam laying around? anyone willing to trade said cam for a 12 pack?
also, i need the sprocket that goes on the front.

Have one out of a stock 6.0 and the sprocket 02 model don't know specs

Speaking of layin' around, anyone got a relatively unabused 10-bolt? *SIGH*

Cody, I've got my stock rear with 4.10's, but it's gonna need new bearings. They were starting to go which was another reason I pulled it and upgraded to the 9". I took it apart and everything is good to go except the bearings.

If you want just the posi and the gears let me know. I might do something creative with the housing.

Josh,

That may be the only way for it to work considering my car doesn't have ASR. Am I correct?

I think you could use my housing, but would have to use your axles. I think. I might be backwards or totally wrong lol. I know the posi and gears should interchange. The gears might have a slight whine, but the bearings is what made alot of noise. There was alot more roaring than whine. Which suggested the bearings. We looked at the gears when we pulled the rear and they actually looked pretty good which is why I say the whine should be minimal.

Okay,

Will have to do some research and find out exactly how it would work.

3 channel abs non traction control cars exciter ring on posi unit sensor in housing. 4 channel abs cars with traction control exciter rings on each axle sensors in backing plate. that should help a little.

Greg, in Hp tuners scanner, how do I change what I'm scanning on the chart settings? I can make the changes work on the Table but not on the chart.

Chris open chart right click on chart to open up chart settings. Then open the chart you what to add to I think the first two charts still have a undefined slot just click on that to add the sensor just like on the table and then save it. you have to set color and upper and lower limits to your taste. The sensor has to be saved on the tablet screen also to work.

Have one out of a stock 6.0 and the sprocket 02 model don't know specs

its the same as an LS cam isn't it? hole down the center, same length etc.?

Yea would make a good lamp stand.

Thanks Greg. I never messed with that part

Hootie:D:Dhow did that come up anyway? enjoyed the ribs and the company. cody feels a little older.:chug:

I had a good time too. May be a while before I do anything else on a work night.

:D:Dha ha

Hmm...I'll think about it ;)

Can someone in the Shreveport/Bossier area tell me a little about Race Tech in Bossier City, if there reputable or not? Thanks.

I was told they shut down

Any of you interested in my LS6 intake? I'm asking $300 for the intake,it has been sanded and painted black with white and grey ghost flames.

I may possibly have it off the car around thanksgiving.

i already got one:D:D

Dammit. :bang:

Dammit. :bang:

whats that for?

Havent been around much fellas. How is everyone? Hilton, have you had any luck finding a replacement block? I've been looking for you one also, but no such luck. Wish I had the money to buy your wheels cause I really like them, but no car funds at the moment. When you get ready to pull it let me know. My dad has a two post lift that he'll probably let us use to lift the car with when you get ready to put a new motor in. That will save us some headaches.

easier pulling it from the top....

I'm having a shit-storm of car problems. Not only does the Camaro block have a hole in it, the Volvo block is cracked too. I'm carpooling with my wife these days. It's very glamorous.

The Volvo has to be first priority. I may have found a short block already. Josh is helping take delivery of it. (heh, Black Camaro Josh, not Blue Camaro Josh. One of these days people are going to start telling me their last names)

Thanks for the offer of using the lift Blue Josh. I think that'll help a lot. We used the one on base at the auto hobby shop to do Galen's TA swap. We did it in a day. Drove there in the TA and a truck, drove home. I have to admit though, he's a bit better of a mechanic than I am. He's also in Ocean Springs. :(

hilton might still be fighting with the cylinder head if it wasn't for me showing up and wrestling it for him.:cool:

hilton left his house one day in his camaro :drive: heard a loud noise :confused: looked under the hood and finds a hole in the motor :mad: :scream: decided he may not want the car anymore :bs: then decides instead to keep it and put bigger/better motor in instead :sack: while he is getting that plan together he leaves the house again only this time in his volvo :burn: car runs hot :mad: he decides to pull the cylinder head :thinker: he sees the block is cracked :eek2::eek::eek2: hilton drinks lots of beer :chug: one day he gets his cars fixed and forgets he ever had these bad string of events :cheers: then the next time he heads to the shooting range this wont happen again :thumb:

gonna have some high wall pulleys soon. anyone interested before i put them up for general sale?

AWESOME illustrated story Steve :D

Well, so far my list consists of a Ratech rebuild kit for $119...not so bad. If new posi is required, I'm looking at the Eaton unit... frikkin' $450 :eyes:

AWESOME illustrated story Steve :D

thanks.....:devil:

any of u guys know who has the black GTO with black wheels. I was in shreveport this past weekend, and came across it on Youree drive. It sounded sick. Tried to do a friendly run, but no dice. Just wondering who that might have been?

dunno, i may have seen it around that area as well.

It sounds sick, but it wont back up the sound until he puts the juice on it. If its the one Im thinking of its an 04. If your putting out what you say you are, it would've been ugly for him even with the juice. There is another that's an 06 and it aint no joke, but that one didn't have black wheels the last time I saw it.

The black GTO with black wheels is most likely Swervin.

The 06 I believe belongs to a guy named Roland.

Both seem like cool guys....Swervin is on the bottle and I was told Roland was not.

I'm off for the next 9 days!

Hilton,

Are you selling all your nitrous stuff?

Yeah. Badass dual stage setup. Come get it. You know you want it. Everything you could possibly want. Wideband, fuel pressure gauge, nitrous pressure gauge, twin lines, twin bottles, 78mm ring, heater, dual purges, heater, other shit...
$1300, obo.

sorry, I've already got my own badass dual stage. I was just looking for a spare bottle

You have more than one car. Come get it.

You have more than one car. Come get it.

LOL Not worth putting a nitrous kit on

whats everyone doing this week? any word on RRR?

This weekend I'm planning on fixing my car and calling Greg so I can start driving it again.

Gotta drop the pan again so I can fix the bolt then put the 30lbers in and see when greg can work me in.
