Official Polk County thread!
I think the two of you dynoed more than I did!!!! If I remember correctly the last time I had the car dynoed it was under 400! (It just runs real good). I have a few friends that have some fast cars and maybe I can get all of us to get together and get the track prepped real good on a Thursday night and we can have some good runs. Friends have a bad *** BMW-M5 and a C6 Z06 with a little work done!!
are you talking about Mark (black M5) and Mike (black z06)?
I know both through floridagerman. see Mark pretty often on the way to work in the mornings. does Mike still have the supercharged 328? did he ever get the turbo car going? haven't talked to those guys in a couple years now
btw, anyone who would be willing to give me a hand later this week with my 6 speed swap would be much appreciated and would be rewarded with cold beer of one's choice

Verdad Gallardo I dont think I am much faster than Mike with the red T/A right now but I hope in the near future I will be getting faster with new tires and a few small changes now that I have my nitrous right.
He sold the camaro and got another Cobra. Last I talked to him he said he shouldn't have sold it.

Remember my car has had NO weight reduction at all other than the spare tire and jack (alto I think the 15lb nitrous bottle adds it right back) but I think the camaros are about 300lbs lighter than the T/A's. I wonder what it would do if it went on a diet or put me on a diet!!LOL.
Been real busy working and soccer and everything! I have gotten the car back to the track a few times the past few months and forgot how fun it was! You got teh LT1 back together yet?? That thing should be a monster by now. We need to get it back to the track soon I will call you a few days in advance next time I head to the track.
I am assuming this is Rick??!
Yep, it's Rick. Same here, been busy as hell for the last year since our son was born. Funny how a baby can just take over everything, lol. Car is together and running ok aside from a nasty exhaust leak that I need to take care of. Haven't really done any power upgrades, just switched over to coil packs and had a cage put in. Still praying the stock bottom doesn't fall out every time I hit the button :-) I've got some goodies that need to go on but I can't bring myself to take it back apart since I haven't really run it with the way it is. Hoping for mid to high 6s in the current trim.
I'll be working evenings M-T for a while but should be able to squeeze in a Friday or Saturday night in the near future. Let me know when you're gonna go.

Get it out and run it some before you take it back apart!!!!!!!! There is about 5 cars (F-Body's) out there running some real good times. It is nice to go out there and have some good runs with friends.
We have been going on Saturday nights and the track has been great. I have even been on a few Thursdays and to be honest it was not to bad then granted Saturday night is still better but I was still pulling high 1.4 60' times on small 26" ET-Streets!
guys I need to find an ls1 input shaft and midplate to get my t56 swap under way. also need a clutch line and f-body master cylinder. Mike I found out that apparently the corvette one is different. I have the lt1 trans part, including a bellhousing, to trade, or can buy the parts outright
All this ran sucks! The track is probably covered in water right now. need to get back out there and see if my #'s were correct. Need to drop another 100 pounds off this thing and get the Procharger. That should get me into the 9's, if nothing breaks.
