Default big thanks to slowhawk and crew

like the title says, big thanks to don, marcel, keith, joe, and chris for the help they all put in. we put on the ls6 heads, new lifters, elec water pump, u/d pulley, took out the a/c and put in a new master cylinder for the clutch. the car pulls like crazy. i was really getting used to my car, and its about time i picked up some more power. now i cant wait to get the new rear with the 4:10's. the 3:42's are still hurtin me. don's street tune is right on. its not surging at all anymore, and the car feels great all around while driving. once again, huge thanks to everyone.

ps- marcel, im coming for ya

Sounds like another successful day at Don's Place! Congrats Chris on the new mods. I have a feeling Marcel is being rundown by a few locals!! Its definitely going to be a H/C, Cam only battle this year for sure.

Forgot to mention that the 12 bolt comes with relocation brackets so dont worry about that. I have red lca's and panhard rod's I'd sell together for 100.00 but they're red. They are real cheap to buy new.

I'm gonna try to get the GTO pronto so you can get your parts before the first track rental. I'm moving next week.

Glad I could help out griff! Wait till you feel what 410s do to your car! The car feels really good.

It'll be a pleasure to waste you this year.

P.S- Do I get a rain check on dinner, since I skipped it last Sat.

sounds great joe. that'd be great if i had the stuff by the 1st track rental, otherwise i'll just be a spectator, and marcel will have to wait to see me taillights. once again joe, i appreciate it. marcel, if my car is still running come saturday, ill assume you didnt do anything wrong to it, and dinner is on me,sice that steak made us both sick

I'm going to try to get one. I should be able to afford it.

I still have the lca's, panhard rod, shifter, lou's short stick, pulley, cam, valvetrain and some other stuff I can't think of right now. Quite a bit already has possible homes.
