work sucks so bad right now and i raced so little last season do to lack of intrest, i might not even go back together this season. i say that now, come march april im sure my mind will change, but all i have to do put my motor back together. new rings bearings, im going to use all my other stuff. pistions, can etc etc etc. new timing chain and oil pump.
i traded my glide for a th400 and im going to get TEA 265 Trick flow 6 bolt heads.
im hoping to run 9.50 on motor and 8.50 on 100-150 shot.
im only cirt to 8.50 and cash flow for a 25'5 isnt going to happen so im stuck at 8.50, but id like to do it with as little spray as possable.
if i run 8.5 with 100-150 shot i know low 8's would be very possable with 250 or 300 which the car is built for.
other then that, im hoping to get a tire on my vett, and the ls7 clutch i have had sitting on my floor for over a year, i want new rims for my truck, and if i keep my checkmate im going to add some striping to it and more boom boom sound system stuff, if not im buying a baja.
we'll see

My car is at the fabrication shop right now getting some modifications to the plates that the main hoop is mounted to, getting the steering rack straightened after my last bumper dragging wheelstand where I almost lost it into the wall, got a new much more custom permanent bottle bracket mount fabbed, getting the panel that I cut years ago for my "fuel pump access" door mod cut completely off and having an aluminum removable panel fabricated and last but definitely not least i'm having the trunk area cut away and raised up higher equal with the frame rails and putting 64" unsprung chromoly wheelie bars on the car....
now i can finally come out on everything this thing has got without fear of wheelstanding it.... And bring on the full 400hp hit MUCH earlier than before. I had it progressing over 1.5 seconds and it was still going up on the bumper.... I want to have it all in within 1 second or less.... After that i'm going record chasing for the first LT1 8 second nitrous pass babee....

I'm going to break my 10 bolt into a million pieces, destroy the transmission, and blow up my 116k mile motor, using as much nitrous as necessary. If I run a nice ET in the process, awesome!
