No problem Cory. Nice to meet ya and pleasure talking to you.
The cam is a new era custom cam.
I didn't do great in the rumble class but made alot of progress getting the
Car dialed in. With the help of my "crew chief" studderin we got the car
To 1.4 60'. I'll get some pics and videos up soon.

LOL.... ya the big guy raceweight too 
ok it is pretty funny ...booster seat tuning
Not bad 1st time out with the car, your not going to set any record off the bat, and going to a big event like this is not the best to get a brand new setup dialed in. Got a few little things to change but there kinda easy. Its came a LONG way end of this year, 1st pass of the weekend was a mid 11 with a 1.6, then 4 passes later getting right though 1.5s into 1.4s
stock rear swaybar is not cutting it. The good DA rear shocks band aid tightening them up, but it really started to lean over and not use all the tire. And you have the steer the car thu first gear, and 1-2shift the car moves around. I remember having to do that. A better rear sway takes car of that. Its squats a little to much still,(the right side I saw bad, might be mostly the body roll) but he's got all BMR adjustable stuff so that's just a bolt hole change.
needs a shiftlight... BAD, 98 factory tack is not gonna cut it at the track. Got alot better not hitting the limiter after some passes.
Tires are smaller then though, these ETstreets (28x11.5x15) have a rollout more like a 26.5-27" tall tire even with MT list them as 28" people would think not knowing. Car started tagging the limiter at 125ish traps. So either.......
the rear end has more the 4:56 gears
the clutch is slipping,
or the limiter was not were it should be? 1998 Crank signal?? Inj... some BS you don't want I have to deal with
So we found out the rollout was lower was good, and a easy fix, then the other things. Best ET was a 10.6 I think, in index. Also did the true street cruise, I went along. Hung over as ****, that wasn't the best idea
i got some pic and vid,I saw a engine bay pic I think on LSX TV?
I don't thing todd want some of the vids posted

Dyno had to get repaired from the fire a few months ago, so been down. Its ready but waiting till after indy to move into the new shop and set it up with a ton of new stuff. So no dyno numbers, but it did something like 415-420 like normal for the mods a few years ago. Cam the stock heads, LS6, old headers, cutout,LS6, ported TB. But it had stock DS, 10bolt, clutch ect, good dyno stuff. Just been street tuned, but will get numbers. Went from really busy end of the year stuff, to really busy moving now, the really busy winter builds.
another vid early 1st or 2nd pass, I think somone was a lil' rusty hits the limiter 13 times and pulls 5th gear. a nice a clean t56 pass. hahaha it got alot better

As you can see in these pics I'm getting a ton of suspension twist
On my launches.I desperately need a rear sway/drag bar set-up.
Looking at either the bmr extreme Drag bar or the drag/sway bar
From Midwest chassis. I'd like to hear any input anyone has using
Either of these, or any other.
