This place is boring, boring, boring!!!! I don't know if it's the hot weather and nobody wants to post their times because of the heat or what.
Also one other thing I've noticed is the moderators use the admin forum like a private club to carry on tech and performance discussions that should be out for everyone to see.
Pro Stock John and Tony are to busy getting free parts for their LS1tech "Project Cars" to get on anymore. I wonder if they will be unbiased when they give us reports on said parts.
I went out to the track last night and Kristy has got her wagon running again (6.80's in the 1/8) and she's right back to kicking butt's in the brackets. I'm trying to talk her into putting a fast system on it so she can run the bracket race at the Thunder Shootout.
Let's see what else is new??? I'm changing the cam in my car to one a little smaller. The one I had 256/260@.640 lift was to much for a 370 inch motor and a ls6 intake so a going back with a 240/244 @ .612 112lsa from LSM.
A word of caution for those of you considering or using Crain solid roller lifters. They work great as long as the base circle of the cam does nor drop below 1.420".... If you go less than that and you will have internal oil leak causing low or no oil pressure due to the lifter , when on the base
of the lobe, uncovers the oil galley causing a bleed off of pressure.
That's all for now but I'll let you know how my dog's appointment goes at at the clean up shop.

Re: This place is boring, boring, boring!!!! I've noticed things being slow here also.
I'm just leaving to get my chassis certified. Hoping to be ready for the CamaroZ28.com event next weekend. Here's a few pics of my project, if you're interested.

Things have changed quite a bit since these were taken. I'll have updates soon.

Re: This place is boring, boring, boring!!!! Hey Joe, how come you haven't posted your times lately? Feeling slow? :p
Get on the site or get on this drag racing forum? I post a ton on the site daily, but I don't have a car to race right now. Maybe that is why I don't post times? Hmmmm..... could be!

Re: This place is boring, boring, boring!!!! Slow here for me too... 
My car is torn down and won't be getting put back together anytime soon. It won't be getting an LS1 put back in it, either...
I picked up an '86 Chevy shortbox PU on a trade awhile back that I've been working on lately. I've nearly disassembled the entire interior and body for a thorough re-paint. The interior is all done (paint-wise), and I'm beginning to work on the outside paint/body work.
I think I'm going to put together a low-budget 383 Dart iron-headed stroker motor for it and just have fun going slow since it'll be at least a year before my Z is rolling again...

Re: This place is boring, boring, boring!!!! In my spare time I've been cleaning my house up and getting it ready to rent a couple rooms out. I had to buy my X out of the house which took up all my "fun money" for the next few months, so I'll going ghetto for awhile.
The good news is my Z28 is ready to roll, I just need to get the PCM done up @ MMS. Hopefully high 10s on motor in this summer heat.
