Had the rear raised a little. That extra clearance will be handy once the Weld's and 28" M&H's go on.

Welds are going to look real good. I like the new stance. How's the power feel compared to before the upgrades? Are you going to take it to the track to get a mph?

I had the shop do a few minor things to it so picking it up tomorrow or Thursday. The new powerband feels really good. I take it to the track one day in the fall. For now my focus is TX2K, some air strip events, and cruising through the summer.

Been driving it the last couple of days. Really feels good to be back in the saddle. I'm in love with these Ridetech shocks. I hated my old pfadt's. Powerband is nice but I need to order tires to really get a feel for all of it. Car feels a lot better in E85. Friend came over to give it s good detail.

Switching to E85/flex fuel is one of the best mods I've ever done.

You like the E85 because more power or runs cooler? I found out Holley has a flex fuel sensor out now so I could switch back and forth in my setup.

More power, runs cooler, and drives a lot better on it vs pumps gas.

Where did you end up putting the fuel filter? I can't tell by the pic.

It's mounted inline under the car somewhere. I thought I had a picture of it. I'll have to double check.



Ordered some M&H's a couple of days ago. They will arrive before TX2K.

Also had Roger at Emblem Pro's make a custom badge for me. It turned out great. Then had my friend detail the car at his shop.

Rims and tires look nice. I like those badges a lot too. Should be ready to tear up some roads for sure.

Got back from TX2K yesterday around 3pm. The car did great. Drove it there, made pull after pull, and drove it home without issue. 6 years in a row doing so. Futral always has the car on point. I'll post some pics and vids once I get back in the groove of things.

I was wondering how you did. Definitely looking forward to some vids. I haven't see much posted up about it yet. That's awesome the car does so well and a true street car too. Do you go to any other big events? I've been hearing alas Fest is one not to miss. I've never been but I might try to go this year.

How did the tires work out? I decided I couldn't fit the M&H on my fbody, and Mickey still has no ETA on the 305/45/17 ET Street Rs, so I ordered 295/45/17 mickeys for now.

I always wanted to go to LS Fest. One days I'll make it. I'll be moving in the next couple of months so won't have much time events but I want to hit up a bunch of half mile and Street Car Takeover events in the next year once I get settled.

I like them a lot. They are stable at high speeds and hook good.

I'll be moving back to Michigan full time. The one event I'll be at for sure is the Dream Cruise everything else is up in the air.
