I plan on getting out there about 7:00-7:30. I am not hitting it out of the hole tonight but I did get my progressive controller working absolutely perfect so I might hit it with about 20% out of the hole and ramp it into 100% 2-3sec out. Anyone brining their camera?

Thanks for the info. I think the converter is too tight now but I will give it a few weeks and see what it will do with a little more spray. It is 3-tenths off its best times right now but we will get it back there. If your car keeps running like it did last night I will never have a chance with the motor that is in mine right now.

redid my exhaust yesterday with a Y pipe I bought off a forum member. took out the cutout so now it's full time full exhaust for me again. sounds good, but it is much quieter than I am used to. not sure if I like it. what you guys think?

Anyone interested in some 6.125 compstar h beams rods/arp2000wbolts and some weisco 4.005 -10cc dish pistons? All brand new. I got a 24k 4.125 dragon slayer crank and I may be going lsx block with a 4.125-4.200 bore. So I want better rods and need the correct piston. Also maybe a mans turbo.

But my stuff would make for a killer lq4/lq9 rebuild good for 1000rwhp. Check out what that stuff is new and make me a offer.

If I don't sell them ill throw them in my ls2 and just save the shortblock for next time.

Its not sitting where all the trade in's get parked here at the Lakeland Hills location so it must have been at the dealership on 98, or maybe its already gone to auction. I just read this today and the post is over a week old
