Seeing you run, and seeing the drifters, made me want to swap into an import, lol. Great job on your car.

I plan on running mine next year as well, assuming I have my transmission built and get my heads/cam done.

My car was running like **** all day. I had brand new plugs in it and thats the only thing I did since I last ran. Car was running 12.5-13.0 on motor when its a 12.0 car on motor. Put another set of fresh plugs in and it seemed to have fixed the problem. 11.94 @ 112 finally.

Hit it with a 125 shot hoping for 10s but on the run it fell on its face in 3rd gear and went 11.1 @ 119. MPH is low. I looked at the log and for some damn reason my car commanded 14.63 afr in 3rd at WOT!!!! WTF!

I have the Pewter Firebird with license plate SLO LS1... come say hi.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess I met you at a car show in Manchester? It was at jiffy burger.
You have an ls2? in the car?
I was there with a few buddies (silver stock, at the time, c5z, 03 cobra, targa white c5, etc).. Mine was the pewter TA.

We came over and talked to you for a few mins about your setup, it sure is sweet!
Have you done anything else? I remember at the time it was pretty much stock with exhaust.

Most of the RPM Transmissions crew made it down for the event. I am running LSX Rumble 11.0 index. My first pass of the weekend ended up being an 11.003@124mph with a 1.58 60ft

Yes 11.003! I was stoked. I have been able to make multiple 11.0 passes today. I am looking forward to tomorrow. Having a blast. Time for bed now. 7am comes too early.

Hey brian we saw your white ss with flames sounds nice. We chicago guys are wiped out calling it a night. We will be at the track early to make some chassis changes to better plant the tires on the black ws 6. Car makes big power but its just figuring out how to consistently put it down.

Mighty mouse dunno. Dave borrowed a shock wrench but I did not have a chance to ask him how he was doing.
