Default Sent my ride back to APE for some upgrades....

I am going with a spec stage 5 and a tranny built by "crashed 94" on the corvette forum.... My second gear syncro S@#t the bed and My RAM VDS I couldnt get to stick. So that is coming out and going back to them for inspection..... With a slipping clutch and a 1.98 60' barely launching the car it went 138 MPH in the 1/4 mile.. Cant wait to see what this B$tch will do with the new clutch.
Hope to get some time off of work to make it to Bowling Green
Thanks APE, Now lets get that thing back to its DADDY ASAP. And if you want to throw in one of those beautiful DP LSX intakes you got you can have my old one....It would look real good on there if it makes it to BG..
