So Ray I have a question for you. Don't take it the wrong way. Last couple times out the car was slow even with the shot. Is this the reason for the motor refresh?

If the shot it the same, and there is no time on that motor, I'd assume it got hurt thus the rebuild. Not really a refresh.

having trouble with you tube. where else can I post it so this site can show it?

I was able to see it....

I would never take anything you ask the wrong way. i'll be happy to answer.

the last time out the car drove thru the converter. I took out my race converter that makes the car go 9.29 and put in a street converter. with the race converter I could not get over some of the mountains here without the trans temps getting too high, hence the street converter which slowed the car down.
when we fired the nitrous at the track, the car drove right thru the street converter.

ok, there's the proof.
you just wasn't with us that day.
it was running low 9.30s that day

There wasn't any doubt. I've know you to never be full of ****. You're gd about that. I was surprised I never heard about that day.

the reason for the motor refresh is, and you might remember this, the excessive blowby the lingenfelter motor had. lingenfelter could not remedy the issue so I just had to live with it.
I wanted jannetty to build the motor to eliminate the embarrassing smoking out of the breathers. and since he's refreshing it, I could add shaft rockers (heads come off for machining), different compression pistons, add the piston oil squirter kit, new cam, more head porting, etc....

Yup, I do remember that whole deal and I can see you spending $30k to eliminate a little smoke. Lol

I wish you some good,fast, luck this year!!!

Poor Don Rainey.... Once the king of the world! Lol

ls427ray

Why are you laughing? my car is still running 9's on the original stock motor.

I don't get on C5 that much, I checked in and it seems like all hell broke loose.Took a little while to figure out where everybody went.

Sounds like you have had more than your share of problems lately.

9 Second 2010 Camaro

That's the understatement of the year!! 2 motors in two months. I found out what was wrong.... It was the shop doing the work. Decided to do a few upgrades while fixing the motor again.

Good to hear from you.

ls427ray

wow! great to see you bigdog!
did you hear, Jamie joined the centrifugal brotherhood.
hows your car? i think theres a 9.50 in it.
best regards,
ray

Its about time he gave up on that maggie and got a real supercharger. Looking at his build, I've seen that setup somewhere....hmmm wonder where?

Yea theres definitely more there, last year all my spare time went to the new horse barn. Hopefully i'll find time this year to get back to the track. Also been thinking about putting the manual back in to play on the street.

ls427ray

yep, a manual is more statisfying on the street.
i'd like to put a street lenco in mine. maybe someday after i get my 8.

jannety's digging up anyone he can find to come to his rescue. hmmmm
