Default How is your car coming along, Gonna make LSfest ?

Well I have a 99 TA that i'm trying to get to LSfest but i'm waiting on my MWC 9in. It should be in very soon and i'm not sure if i'll have enough change to swap a4-m6 before then it's going to be tight. I also have a buddy that's supposed to go down there in his LS 240 but is looking for a shop to do the swap and he says it's gonna make if not he will take his TBSS. Even if my 99 TA doesn't make it I have a 00 Formula DD that I can take, but really want to take my 99 since it's been down since 09'. I know it's a little over 3 months away but it'll fly by in no time just like this past year has I didn't go in 11 due to the weather forcast and i'm from Texas didn't wanna drive that far to look at it rain in BG. Anyways how are ya'lls projects coming ?

We had Andy's 2002 WS6 the Murder Bird out again for the LSX Series, best pass with the new turbos was 7.69@183 while dealing with some gremlins. Car will for sure be at LS Fest.

I'm gonna try and get a set of heads, injectors, and a FAST intake installed and go back to the tuner before LSFest but if not I will race it the way it is now. Working on the suspension right now.

If I can get the safety stuff done, a rear and a drag set up. Looking at hitting 11s. Might take the car down there in a few weeks just to get a feel for beech bend

Default LS Fest or Bust!!

I'm trying to make it. I'm in the process of swapping a LY6 6.0 and a T56 in my '69 Camaro. Things left to do:

Fuel Tank/Pump
Install the Holley HP EFI/Harness
Move Battery to the Trunk
Hook up accessories (P/S, Hoses, etc
Install SPC upper and Lower control arms with tall BJ's and Tall Tie Rods
Gas Pedal/Throttle Linkage

It doesn't seem like a lot to do but I have very little time to work on the car.

My wife and I are looking forward to it!

I would love to go to this event, but seeing as we are still collecting parts for our swap, I doubt we will be able to make it. That's a lot of work to do in 3 months. Maybe next year though.

I will be there.

The 346 cracked across number 7 cyl after pushing 27psi though the engine racing a busa.

The bigger engine is being built now and plan on having everything together and tuned within a month or so. The car is at Sam Daffrons shop in Chattanooga so its in good hands, i'll keep you guys posted.

Last year it went 10.07 @ 135 - 6.5 @ 111 on 11psi
This year i'm going deep in the 9's, if the stock 10 bolt holds up
