Default First run's w/new h/c setup

I'm running some local shop (POLK performance) ported heads and a 224 .581@112 cam. Dont know weight of car. Had skinnies, ET Streets, !swaybar, !rear of hooker catback, !spare/jack, And !rear seats. Mac headder's w/orp.
I put some leaded race gas in wich turned out bad. Both my front o2's are toast now. <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> My o2's were reading WAAAYY off so i have no clue on tuning. They kept reading low so i added fuel and it didnt help. I think because the o2's were clogged ill get it straight and try again <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> .
Anyhow here is the slip. Please forgive me with 1000' times but thats all we have here in Arkansas. I do think their is allot more in the car the air was crappy. And other were off .3 from last weekend when it was colder.

The shop that did your heads, aren't they mainly known for their DSM work? I know the owner has a pretty fast one. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> The only reason I know is because my bro-in-law is the manager over at Circuit City and he has done some work for Mike, I believe his name is, but I could be wrong. lol

Anyways, nice times man, and once you get that 60' down, she'll really fly! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

P.S. If you're ever over by the Circuit City, stop by and say hey to my bro-in-law. He just moved down there a few months ago, and hasn't really met anyone in the f-bosy scene down there. He has a white 91'Z, full bolt-on car that runs high 7's on motor in the 1/8 mi. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Still has the stock TPI base, plenum, and runners too! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> His name is James Greene. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Yea Polk is into DSM's now. He learned to port working for Craft (ford heads) when he was in college. He wanted to try some LS1 heads and gave me a Heck of a deal just so he could try them so i didnt complain at all.
Circuit City where? LR? North LR? West LR? We have SEVERL f-bodys in our local club! as long as he is a gool guy we'd be glad to have him hang out!
PS Mike? Do you know any more about him i think i know a mike. Don Polk is the owner of the shop tho.

He is the manager of the LR West store. You'll always see his car parked out back, by the car stereo shop.

Sorry about the Mike thing, I wasn't really sure what his name was, I was just guessing! lol

Looks like the track was hooking halfway decent for a friday night. You need to come down on a raceday do some time onlys. The track hooks a lot better. Great times still! I think we met last year I was in the white z28 I think you ran a best of 9.99 that night.
