is anyone by chance good with bending and cutting hard steel tubing?? I'm wanting to re-plumb my nitrous kit... and clean it up a bit under the hood.

Edit: I already have a rolld of 3/16 hard steel line, swedgelock bender, cutter and flaring tool.. its just been a while since I messed with it. and another set of eyes usually helps bending up lines like that. I just need to double check that the flaring tool I have is for the 37* flare that the high pressure fittings call for.

The camaro looks great shawn. It should work a little better without a broke shock this time. Make sure you post some times when you get back.

Ben, I know you got your stuff to bend and flair the tubing, but I sell some pretty nice bending and flaring tools if you ever want to upgrade. The flair tool goes from 1/8- 3/4 and tube insertion height is controlled automaticly.

Now on the VMP subject..... Maybe a track rental is different but i wont be going back to a T&T night ever again....

Even a BIG Event....i wasnt impressed..... a 4 HR delay... i just thought the track was run very poorly.... prep was good but running it wasnt....

Ill be running 1/8 mile for a bit when mines back out..... thats were your 1/4 et is at..... most try and add more power to compensate for there crappy 60' times and decrease there ET that way.....

I guess im just ranting....

Kyle


I agree, they dont run VMP worth a **** but I'm not talking about test n tune or some event. Just a track rental for people who really want to run there cars. Oh yeah, it will most likely be at the end of sept. now. Hopefully once it has been "officially" established people will sign up and actually show up!!

I may need to get a 37* flaring tool. I do believe mine is 45*... thats all I will need. my bender is good for what I want to do and no more than I use the thing, I cant really justify getting something different just yet... if the project gets too deep and I end up needing something else besides what I have here now I'll let you know though. Thanks man.

um did you forget you had your damn slicks in the back of the truck.... but wouldnt put them on. we ran to a pretty high mph too and i was consistently pulling. remember when we ran on the way home from the dyno day at ATI, and i pulled you too? you coulda beaten me if you had this or that.... but you didnt. i won and got to drive my car home.
