i am more than a little concerned about that wishbone setup, if it gets out of shape that bracket even though double shear wont take much, also its an awefully high roll center, wich shouldnt be a problem, again untill it gets out of shape. did you use the bmr drag torque arm? i am pretty shure that that hiem end on the custom arm wasnt long for this world, look how often ladder bars break them and you had half the joints. sweet car though, looks great sounds cool, and its pretty quick for an unsorted car. if you get some t&t time before racing starts you should be in good shape

I was at the track pitted with those guys a couple times last year and it is amazing to watch them in action.
I cant wait to see how deep into the 7`s they can get this year

Here's a little update...

I sold my Firebird to open a gym www.anytimefitnessajax.com ... the new owner put an LSx block in it and is running in a local class that requires a max turbo inlet size of 85MM... here's a video of the car from last weekend along with a new LSx stock suspension Camaro running in a smaller tire class and an insane C5... ENJOY!

Damn sorry to see you sell it. Looks like both cars are running strong but need alittle suspension work. Is it me or do both cars pull to the left?

Yup... they are both in the process of being dialed in... the Camaro has as many outings on it as your car has

It's goes without saying, there is alot left on the table!

Was that Fast Eddie Timnal (sp)? The guy that crashed his 74 GTO at Orlando? If it is, it's awesome to see him back. Although I would have prefered another 74 GTO. Just my opinion.

Yes! That is the same Fast Eddie!!!

He just recently completed the C5 and has gotten back behind the wheel since his devastating crash in Orlando...
