its at a shop, i had a wiring promblem last year at the track, car just died, so the wiring harness had to be fixed, but it hard because u have to go through both harnesses to find the promblem, i have one for grandnational motor and one for the camaro and they are spliced together so that they both can work, it sucks the wiring on the car is a disaster. i have it at i guys shop in andover ma, that specailizes in wiring on gn's and he is getting through it but it is taking more time than he thought my car has been there for about a mounth, i went and looked at it today he is making progress he found that the cam sensor was no good and that the injectors were not getting power, so hopefully i will get it back soon because iu still have some **** to do to it before the shootout.

well its a 3rd gen convertable with a gn motor black , with black top and noyzee's old grey racing seats. the motor is pretty much stock, been having promblems with it hooking up at the track. i can only launch at 10lbs of vac because anything over that the cars will slide through the staging lanes. the best i went was a 12.8 at 109 with a 2.7 60' but once i figure the launch out and tune the car with the alcky it should go alot better , my wastegate is screwed up so i can only run 18lbs boost. i took some weight out of it this winter to try to make it a litttle lighter last year she wieghed in at a little over 3400. got noyzee's old slicks(he only had 2-3 passes on them) so i am going to mount them up as soon as i get the car back. i am shooting for low 12's this year without really doing to much to it because i want to build a motor over the winter for it.
