I went to florida for a week. My buddy let me borrow his new zl1 for the week. It was pretty nice to cruise and hang out away from the cold. I returned home to snow so that is depressing.

Ive started collecting parts for the new setup. Twin 46 gates. 1 7/8" headers this year. Redoing the entire turbo kit since I have a badass new turbo. Going to do some thinking and seeing what I can afford to buy during black friday. See if I cant save some money. Probably going to order a midwest chassis axle and tq arm setup. I have a guy interested in mine.

How was that zl1? Auto or manual? My buddy has one and the thing RIPS!! It's a manual car with 680hp to the wheels.. makes me miss having a rowdy street car.
I've debated selling my swapped fox drag car for a boosted C6 or a zl1.

It is an auto. I really like it. I think it is a very well designed car top to bottom. I really like the new z06 vettes and have done work on quite a few. They feel a little quicker but i hate to say it id rather have the zl1.

but the z06 is a very fast car from the factory. Longtubes, pulley, intake and tune really wind them up too.

I put it in its winter spot. Tore the turbo kit out. Sold all of the hot and cold side stuff. Intercooler, turbo, intake. So going to switch more than I planned up.

I picked up a set of the IGN1A coils to try out. The truck coils are prone to autofiring and such. So id rather be safe than sorry. Id hate to torch a head or something.

That pilot chute looks nice! My stroud is all tore up, it still works but it does not look pretty that's for sure.

This is the Rjs chutes. I had a 10 footer before. This one is 12.
The pilots get tore up pretty bad. I replaced my other chute every spring.

Race parts solutions and some other random parts. I bought a monkey fab collector so that I had to slow down and spend time welding instead of rushing like I usually do.

I chopped the front off to start over with it. Since I welded and cut stuff off from it so many times. Itll look nicer all fresh. Tried making some more room for the turbo but that is a big, heavy, hard to fit bitch.
Also it pains me to buy things that wont make it faster but the headlights look so much better lol

I picked up a used mechanical pump. Hopefully I can make it work without having to go cable. Im going to go with a very large feed. My fuel cell sits high so Im hoping with gravity itll keep it supplied on launches.

So much for having a light car.
14 point S&W kit and the Funny Cage kit.
27 pieces of moly to weld. fml
