Well Tim youll never guess my luck. They put the motor in and it had a bad knock to it so they pulled it back out. Well #3 rod is .050 cut too high. So now its a waiting game for eagle to get me another one. Thank goodness it didnt damage my head when it hit it thats why it was so hard to figure out. So now I guess we won't be at Lakeland this week. Jeremy won't be back till monday even if the rod comes in this week. I am so pissed. 
Heres some pics of the new motor.

Yes I went to Orlando to pick it up today. She will be running tomarrow. We will be going to publix this weekend but will have to watch we have to break her in. I would post the video of the new cam but I don't have a host to do it. Jeff is going with us next Monday to Rev Extreme to have her tuned he wants to have his retuned. Greg did the heads on the silver z and Jeff is happy as heck.
The motor is a 383. Our friends say its gonna be funny seeing a girl driving the car after this. Its gonna be no different to me. I drove it everyday before with the stock motor. Gas might kill me but I don't work that far away. We have a big race at Lakeland in a couple weeks so we have been hush hush on it. We found out the reagal has a 383 in it to. So now it will be a fair race.
. But I am sure where you see Jeff you will see us.

Didn't see ya out there last night Tim. You didn't miss much. Cops came and we had to scat. Then they blocked the road a few miles down. They got smart. Jeff got away. They checked all the drivers then let us go. They detained us though. We all had to pull over on the side of the road. It was kinda funny in a way. They wanted to see under our hood and stuff. They have seen me race at LMSP. One of them owns the blue duely that gos there every now and then they were pretty cool. Kinda sucks cause we probably wont go back my car means too much to me to loose even for 10 days. A real good friend of mine and Gregs is a Polk Sherrif and he is up north so I didn't have a spy to worn me. 
I was looking forward to racing the silver Z next week too. He raced a cobra lastnight. He won. He took his cut out off to I wouldn't have done that just incase a cop did come. Besides he may need the extra horsepower from it I don't 
. It reminded me when I was a teenager and watching them street race in Poincianna. The road was way too skinny though. They were racing beside some of the cars and that was a little scary for me. The TA being parked right by the starting line. Some started past the cars.
Well I better scat gotta get the TA ready for Jeremy. Gotta be there by noon Monday. We might me going to Orlando speedworld this wenseday or friday Lakeland will be closed thursday for Thanksgiving. Talk at later.

Launching!
Thread Starter
Yeah sorry I didn't make it. Me and a bunch of my friends got in a big fight. But, I guess it was kinda good I didn't go. I've never heard of them pulling people over like that, not if they weren't racing. Oh well. I got a little action though, I raced a black supra from a 100 mph roll coming back from Tampa. He wouldn't slow down at all, I wanted to go from 70 but he was being a b!tch. So we went to about 140 and he got me by about 4 or 5 legnths. I don't know what he had, he just kept hauling *** after that. But anyways, are ya'll going out to Lakeland Thursday, if so, let me know. Tim.

She loves the juice.Greg scared the s@*t out of me when Jeremy had us drive it down the road. You'll have to ask Jeremy about the drag radials he seemed impressed Greg said. I feel bad for him though up late and my radar flew off the windshield and hit him then laned in the back. We did make it home in record time though 
. Jeremy says my LS6 intake is robbing me of power its too small so guess I will be buying a fast intake soon. he said not to buy the throttle body though cause fast suck. So we seen one on the black vet with the red and we are going to check it out. You guys have to come to LMSP and atleast watch us. I told Jeremy I would take him down the track in it. Greg and I can take turns and take you guys. Plus we F-Bodys need a little help a lot of stangs at LMSP. Thursday nights gate open at 5pm and close at 11pm. Well gotta go get the beast ready to be painted. Tangerine Orange and black so don't look for the sanded black and green. This Thursday they are closed for Thanksgiving so if you guys decide to come wait till next week.
Hope to see ya guys at the track.
