I may just do that this weekend, I was going to do a pinks all out in rockingham but it looks like its going to get cold. I'm not too keen on running in 30 degree weather on 10.5" tires on a dead cold track. so I may head down to BG instead and see what it will do with the F1 on a 50 degree day

But on another note..

Spent a few minutes photochoppin the rear wheels I'd like to use, only thing I have found that remotely resemble the front spoke design..

Not sure if its worth spendin the cash or just leaving the bogarts on the the rear. Doesnt look that much better really to me..

Thats what I'm thinking, need to polish up those rear bogarts a little, they look like satin comapred to those new M/Ts. Then again I could just wait for the M/T wheels to get dull and then they will match better

Those same guys asking that question of course claim that they once had a late 70's ram air and it ran 10's in the 1/4 stock. Lol.

Beautiful front runners.. That's for sure.

What you want for your old ones? I got a buddy who may be interested as his are now curbed..

Peace,
Josh

Yeah, so far I have had the HPTuners setup, EFI LIVE/RR, BS3 (on the 98 Z28), GEN 7 DFI, and now have and am keep the new FAST XFI setup. I know there are alot of guys out there that are big time on the BS#, but the unfinished look of the software really kills it for me even though it works awesome. I really like what I have seen from FAST over the years and think I wil be really happy with it on this car.

BS3 software bothered me at first but really once its tuned you dont have to ever look at it any more except for the logger which works very well on the BS3. FAST stuff is decent but that whole EDIS mess scares me a little for the LS1s, unless you are going to use another ignition..

I prefer the hardware to be good first, software can be upgraded easy
