Default New guy

Was a member decades ago when the forums were more popular, decided to get back on and see what's going on. Little info on my car, 96' Camaro- 427 Dart LSnext block, single 91mm turbo, UNTOUCHED Magnum F T56 transmission, MWC 9'', still using a diaphragm clutch, I have been 8.77 @ 160 with a 1.33 60ft. Looking to get deeper into the 8's this year. Made over 1100 with the old setup (416cid).

The wife races too, she is driving a 95' Nissan 240, 434 LS, 14.1:1 compression, solid axle 9'' with ladder bars, and an untouched Magnum F T56 as well. Her car made 608 on motor and 838 on a 225 shot. She has been 9.75 on motor and 9.18 on the shot.

Oh, there's a number of people who are still regularly active on here. Nothing like the old days, but it's still a thousand times better than FB groups.
