Although biased towards imports yet again. Supra with all handling mods AND my Acura RSX or whatever their celica equivalent is handle better than the 'vettes??? Right... those 'vettes are known for their lackluster road racing abilities and spin outs. I have to use a piece of crap Acura econo box instead of a 'vette so I don't lose traction??? Ugghhh.

I put an LS7 in the 04 GTO and painted it (pretty much) SOM. My SS Camaro is turbod 901 hp
And it handles!
I'd love to do something but you guys are all a pretty good distance away and I haven't got my Z28 working yet. Working on getting the old motor out, so I can get the 228/230 cam I got installed/degreed and then I can install the Comp 850 lifters and start swapping parts from the blown engine to the short-block I bought recently. I'll maybe drop by and visit one weekend. I'll keep you informed.

For 4200 bux i want a better kit than that. Atleast one where you keep A/C.

With the STS you dont have to tamper with anything in the engine bay, nothing needs to be moved from its original location.

How's it going NEFL?

Good to see everyone is doing alright. I've recently became a dad to this little rascal:







His name is Buddy and full blooded German Shepherd, about 11 weeks old. He's always hyper and biting my hands and ankles, so I need to train him alot more.

I also ran into this at the NEX on base a few days ago. I know it's a Ford, but it's cool seeing a car like this up close.


"Don't drink and drive, instead drink and race?"


"Nothing but a lightweight shell over a tube frame!"


"It had like 3 oil pressure gages (?).."


"Cool..."


11 days till next meet...

I love my STS butt turbo!!! I would not switch to a under hood model if you gave me the hot pipes FREE. After the intercooler install, I break the tires loose when first gear hits about 5200 rpm. I still have more rpm, cam, more boost and more timing to add to the mix. Summary-STS=

Thanks man. I might bring him, depending on the weather and if pets are allowed at that park.

I didn't realize you had an STS. I'd like to see it next meet.

I think their kits are unfairly criticized. May not be as optimal for a track car as traditional setups, but for a car that sees street time it's a great setup. No heat issues, extra weight on the rear for traction.

I wanted their twin turbo kit but couldn't afford it, so I went with the blower.
