Are there only two people that live in your world?
You guys kill me.
I can't imagine that you two are the only guys to do H/C, weight reduction, Sticky tires and a big stall and run low 11's.
I'm sure no one else on the west coast would be doing that. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
I think they should shut down class two to everybody except you guys, no point in making the trip now.
Not every one on the west coast buys there engine parts from MMS and not everyone runs at a track near you guys or posts about it.
Be prepared for disappointment.

Terry I'm at 33XX! Maybe on the low side, but I haven't made 32XX yet. I'm hopefully going to 31XX for bakersfield. I should get a good .1 and 1MPH increase and I'll change tire to gain 1.5" in width, so maybe the current H/C will be good for 10's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

SSValet:

There are 5 cars in the 10's at 346ci. I don't think anybody will do it at bakersfield, but I know I'll be close. So NO, I'm not concerned about what the Vegas guys can/will run. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Terry, you have to take out the AC!

Well I'm glad to see that I at least warranted a dis, as I'm still pretty sure that there are quick cars other than the one in Grants Pass,Ore., the only H/C car in Socal <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> , and mine.
While you guys are at it you should take out the PS as well.

I already bypass the PS with my reverse flow electric water pump. Removing it only saves 15-20# with the big dollar manual rack. Not worth it to me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I thought the c2 rules were something like.....interior that it came with? Wouldn t seats and carpet sorta be part of that?

Is it just me......or does having a race car with a oem short block just seem well....strange?

I mean really......gutted....no ac? no ps? I v e got a car like that......its a pita.....but way faster then 10.99.......although my car didn t come with ac or ps.....etc.....but it does still have its power windows.....

Don t get me wrong.....you guys are flying...but call it what it is....

</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I have my AC and PS right now, we just bypass the PS at the strip. It takes weight or power to get in the 10s on 346ci, you can take your pick. I am hoping to find 15-20rwhp more so I don't have to take out my carpet and AC. If I don't find the power, and I can remove those items under the rules, I'll do it to stay competative. I can always put them back in the next weekend. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I'm hoping there will be other quick cars showing up to the event, but since their owners aren't on here talking about them all we can talk about is what we know.

The AC kept leaking on my car ever since the heads/cam......and I live in Oregon so I don't need the AC that bad. I'll drive my truck when it's THAT hot. I won't ever get rid of the power steering, it's a street car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I'll call it like it is for ya. I'm creative with weight reduction and can easily put back what I takeout or change at the track. i.e. passenger seat, catback & y-pipe that is flanged for easy install/removal, short-belt mod to bypass the power steering, etc. I run a full interior, carpet, panels, airbags, power everything.....etc. It's not a racecar. Just a well thought out street/strip car. Hal's for adjustability and Eiback prokit for handling.

When I can drive 3500 miles in 2 weeks and race at 3 different tracks along the west coast, while getting 21 MPG w/4.10's, with a quiet catback exaust, killer stereo, run low 11's, not get pulled over by cops, and getting a few girls' phone numbers along the way.... without any problems at all, how is that not a great street car? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> That is something that technology & doing your homework can do for you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
