You should know with a car like ours the question people ask. EVERYONE asked about the camshaft. I told them the truth and that it was speced out from Martin @ Tick. Many LS combos around here in the process and planned in the future......I bet there are many to come including one for myself on a build im doing this winter
On a side note I really wanted to experiment more with the water meth combo this year, but ran out of time. Would love to do air to water intercooler but not ready to quit on the meth kit. Plus im doing most things this winter to compete next year in drag week and a ice tank in the car is not allowed in the street class, so that sucks.

Update: Been a long summer so far with no updates on here. But here is goes. Took the car on the first 3 stops on Hot Rod powertour this year. Had a blast and other then getting caught in rain a few times, and a injector sticking open in st. louis everything was good. Then 3 weeks ago we headed over to Indianapolis for streetcar takeover. Was more like tow rig takeover, but had a hell of a time and met a bunch of cool people, and seen some of the craziest **** go down on the streets. Car ran good that Sunday at muncie went a 8.98 @ 164 mph. She did not want to 60ft there for some reason. 2 weeks ago we hit up the Central Illinois Streetcar Challenge in Cordova and came in runner up with back to back 8.83 @ 163mph (slips to prove it). Car ran real good other than the 60 ft which I found out later was due to the boost controller ramping in the boost slower than it should.
Got the stereo finally in the car. Sounds amazing. Forgot how well a simple 10" sub in a hatchback can sound. Next stop is Dragweek. Have 4 weeks to get that car ready. No real big things to iron out, just a few small issues, followed by a laundry list of preventative maintenance. Hoping for good air and to see some 8.7x soon.
Only changes with the car this year would be the holley 105 TB. So much nicer piece than that damn FAST. Switched to larger jets for the methanol kit. So far no change has been seen, but only have tested it on the hottest of hot days.
