ok.... it has been a long a$$ winter, it is late again and i honestly can't wait to get behind the wheel of my car launching it from the moon!

litle8,

weird......that should be obvious, i seem to enjoy punishing myself by sticking with the t56, year after year.

LOL at all the bickering over the tranny selection.

First of all, you know LS1tech is going to be bringing one MUSTANG WAXING beast whether it be auto or manual. A proshifted T56 car with wheelie bars and big tire boosted to the moon will be more than enough for an 8 second pass.....not to mention Pinks wanted a 10.50ish car. I'm sure there will be speculation until race day, its only smart to keep things somewhat up in the air until then.

I can't wait.

While I have everyone's attention, who's making bolt-in cages, pretty much just Wolf? Do they fit pretty good?

I have a wolf and yes they are cut nice and fairly easy to install.

+1 on when the OTHER 91mm turbo is showing up? Nobody ever lost by bringing an H-bomb to a fistfight! BTW, can nitromethane/methanol cars hotlap? I'm picturing an LSX filled with hardblok bored to the max at about 7.5/1 CR with a direct port kit to get the turbos spooled enough to fire off the nitro. Doesn't ET make some 300CC heads now? Of course the ecu would have to be an aftermarket unit with multi program capability that could control the gasoline only first turd run so noone asks for lengths.

It would be way cool if the LS1tech community could help out in some way, that way it could be for the site.
Just my opinion...Good luck on Pinks.

Can we please donate?!?!?! A plane ticket and time out of work is going to cost alot of us ALOT more than a simple click of a button through paypal. As said before the car can then be built to the gills, by the board members and I am sure all of us have no problem with leftovers going to a charity........................or to something that helps the LS1Tech search function work without error!!!!!!
