Ready to Race... When's the rental?? Well, the car has been out officially for about two and a half weeks now! It has been ready to race since I put it away last season... Yesterday I added rear Drag Springs with my drag bags for insurance.... I have Catless Mid-pipes as well now, to lose the cats on race days.... so I am in even better condition to race this season!! But No cat-back yet! LoL :angel: Can't wait to try out the new ET Drags with the ProStars!!!! Perhaps a tweak in the tune (kill-mode) and some 10 second passes this year!!! So when's the first gathering for a rental?? Don, Keith, Dave, Dan, Marco, Matt (8ALTNG), Matt (Cyborg), Anthony, Mike (02SCVette), Joe, Justin etc.....??? |
we'r trying to get a day in may with a bunch of guys from the cape..im looking for a ten sec pass too..got the pro stars and et radials coming next week.. i'll be on my way up to check out the street night tonight! |
Did you change the spark plugs? |
I can't wait to go bud. My car will be ready in approx 1 month from now I think. I'm gonna order up my rear next week and hopefully it will be in by then. Then I need to graciously ask Don again to tweak my gearing and shift points from last season. :) Worst case, I still go to hang out. Either way we will bring Mike's vette out I think, I'm curious to see how it runs :devil: |

Picking up the car tomorrow from Don. It's all ready to go this season. Unless Don does Phase 2 on it soon. :secret2: |

Nope.. closest I came was 11.29 @ 126 The wheels were spinning in the tires on launch and shifts... this year I will try out the 15" wheels and if need be put screws in them! I think that was the only thing holding me back besides not power shifting or perhaps the stock cat back. :nod: |

I think I'm looking at July at the first part to try my new car. I have to adjust the car and get used to the power. PUREVL spent alot of money on this car and I think I can run low 10's, or maybe high 9's. The issue I'm going to have to face is dealing with another 6 speed. Auto/power glides are easy. Only real drivers can handle standards,lol:D |
My car wont be ready until late june early July |
Got the car back today. The difference is amazing. Thanks again Don. :) |
Just let me know man. I am still saving money up over here for the fuel system and the bar. The cam only runs are promising for a high 11 sec pass off the nitrous. |
Cool guys... This should be a great season. Mike- I can't wait to see results with the fresh motor and clutch! Fred99Z28- are you buying Purevl??? Marco- What's left to do, to get the car going? Dave- What did you have done to the car? Spill the beans.... :D Anthony- I am still saving for a few things for the car as well but I really want a ten second pass on the stock H/C/bottom end first! We'll have to do a rental or a T&T whereas I have the full slicks, unless I find some ET Streets or make an attempt on DR's :chug: Getting the itch, just have to find a trailer. |
Nothing yet. All in the planing stage now. :secret2: |
Clutch/tranny issues from the past 2 years should be gone now. So I should get a good pass in. :jest: |
I got my tune finished up from don so all I need now is a louder exhaust and some sticky tires :D |
Hopefully have the money for the rest of my parts by next weekend :secret2: Then after there all in, I'll be ready to go. |
