Amarillodragway.com is the link and has a map with its location. It's just off S Washington. Check out amarilloracers.com too and see when some of the local gatherings are. There are frequent meet and greets at the Region 16 building off Hillside and Bell too.

I checked out amarilloracers.com, that seems pretty cool, I need to get an account on there.

We need to all get together and cruise and talk about cars and stuff, it'd be pretty freakin' sweet!

Kinda reviving this thread. I was going to start a new thread but thought I would jump in here.

I am new to the LS world and on this forum. I don't have an f-body, I have an X-body so I hope y'all can help a brother out since you guys know a hell of alot more than me about LS engines (and probably anything else. Haha). I am doing a ground up build of a 1974 Nova/lq9 408/t56 and I may have some questions for locals and I still need a shitload of parts. I am already wondering who to use to build my 408. It is a TSP shortblock and I have worked over l92 heads. Some say PPE some Dreamchasers and also Boost. Any other suggestions? Also, who can do a performance rebuild on my t56.

Thanks,
Derek

I would have PPE build the motor and for the transmission I would give Brady a call, last I knew he was working at Boost Performance.

I know people that have had Arenas build some drag autos. They were very happy with them, but I didn't know if they did t56s.

Does George at boost build engines? I figured I would talk to him about tuning the motor.

I've been meaning to get up there and ask him about a tune myself.
