so far the only mod i have is the lid and a 5.0 pro shifter with lou's short stick (5.0 shifter is not installed yet!), & the car also has the SLP loudmouth muffler and it sounds sweet!

I hope to learn from you boys here @ Ls1Tech so i can get my car in the 10 sec time slot right now my car can run 30 secs all day looong,


a short story...
I got in the past, by many suped up cars from mustangs to camaro's and wondered how in the f&*% did they
whup me so badly? I owned the cars that was the same brand and factory specs & sheet! and got left wayyyy behind! so here i am, reading posts and
doing alot of research, so that i can hang with the big dogs

No problem, where in Bellows Falls are you? Like I said I'm exactly 2 miles north of Townshend on Rt. 35. Can't miss the big white car trailer and yellow truck.

we can get you going. there are many many different ways to get 500 rwhp. one way is to beef up suspention, rear, clutch then spray it, or do heads cam there are many ways to do it depending what you are looking for.
im doing my cousins car right now. spray with some bolt ons, car should make easy 450 to the tires and run drive like stock without hurting anything.

tons of combos you can do

ps, welcome

I am a Merchant marine, ( civilian ) I have been working on oil tankers for 20 years,
I live in Bellows Falls VT, because my family lives there, Personally I would rather live in New Hampshire where there is no sales tax!

On the topic of black fies and other annoying insects and pests!

I think that if you spray your self with bug-be-gone & the cars engine with nitro, the black flies wont be able keep up to bite ya! im going to try this out one day! of course, this could be an old wives tale , I wont really be sure untill i try it out, and if i ever get stoped by a VT state trooper, i can tell them the real reason i was going past the posted speed limit and he will then let me off with a verbal warning,

Tony

I live on Westminster Terrace, In a big yellow house!, You cant miss it,
there is only one red light in the town (Bellows Falls) you find the only red light then make a left , right after the Sunoco gas station make a right turn, go up the hill, stop at the 2 way junction then make a left ,the first and only yellow house on the right, make another right, and your there

Where do you run that SS, at LVD? I've never been, I want to get up there a few times this summer, maybe just to watch, maybe run my car, not sure yet. I won't make 9's, maybe I might get into the 13 second club with a good launch

NED, I like it better than LVD and it's closer to Noyzee's beer fridge. Go up and run it... you'll never know unless you try.

Where in Western Mass are you?
