Default New from Kansas

Hello all,

Glad to be a new member to your community here. I'm Mike and I live near Wichita, Kansas. Just wanted to introduce myself.

I've got a 2002 Z28 that I've just started modifying. I did a full dyno tune yesterday on a Mustang dyno down here with a custom OS tune. It made 301rwhp and 340.9 lb/ft torque at the wheels. Ran a 13 flat on street tires and a full tank of pump gas.

As for my plans for it -- I've got an Eagle 383 stroker kit on the way, an NX 100 shot of spray, a set of long tubes, a new cam, and a couple other small things.

If you're in the Wichita area, let me know! I'd like to get a group of us together sometime.

Mike

Been down that way a few times. A LOT of ricers though, so I haven't gone in a while. Last time there was a '95 Z28 and an '02 WS6, but that was it. I'd like to try and find more of the F-Body community in the area to get together!

Dyno'd the car down in Hennessey, Oklahoma (south of Enid / north of OKC).

As for the meet, I talked to a couple people last night and we might have a tentative date of the 25th or 26th of this month (Friday/Saturday), whichever works best for those interested. I was just trying to think of a good meeting place. If we want to just do a cruise, thats one thing. But if we want to grab dinner first, that might be a little different. Lets hear some ideas and feedback on those possible dates!

I might try and head out tonight. I'll have to check. Calvin, you up for heading out tonight?

Saturday the 26th sounds good to me. Towne East is a good meeting place. There's usually an '05 GTO and '02 WS6 that sit in the parking lot there.. owned by a couple. They have their names on the doors. Kinda neat. Black on red.. beautiful cars. Maybe we can catch up with them at some point.
