Default Winter plans?

Anyone building a new-for-2007 car?

Anyone changing setups? Anyone going bigger/faster/better?

Let's see what 2007 is gonna look like. Post up some pics/details.

Well I did not make that kind of power, but same idea. I did a lot last winter and have some bugs to work out. Squating, wining, vibration, needs brakes and other little stuff. Also, the car was not cleaned too well either for the last two years, so lots of detailing.

Just hanging a bigger blower on it in whenever it gets here and I'll see what happens. The good weather is here now so its time to take advantage. I spent all summer on safety stuff, bigger fuel system, trans brake, BS3 and making sure it can handle the extra power. So now I can see what it will do with a couple more PSI

Stop spending money on bs and check in to Buyers Anonymous . I have a brand new set of ET C5R heads at LME but low funds to get a sheetmetal intake for it.

I think it's about time I start working some O/T .
