That car was by far one of the BEST color changes I have ever seen on a F-body. I remember when he set the record your talking about, it was the red sled back then. The post title in CZ28.com LT1 section was that "we have a new king." He had a carb on it right? Because I remember some one saying the LTX manifold, would never go that fast, then Chris ran 8.9 with an LT4 Intake and heads with his old YSi set up. Great memories. It's hard to and some what sucks to belive so much time has passed since those days. We have lost some great guys along the way. But, it's still awesome to see guys like you, Tony, Madman, Jake, Chris, Tanner, Larry and all the others still pushing these cars faster and faster.

I still have the GM High Tech where he started the build 8s at ARE. His car was on racingjunk a few years ago. That car was by far one of the BEST color changes I have ever seen on a F-body.

hopefully Dave is looking down at all of this and just shaking his head like "Why the F are they still toying with that motor???" but he'd be smiling....

They had Dave's car and that white LT1 TA from Michigan running good, some kid on here owns the white car. Believe it was running high 9s, white drop top stroker nitrous Trans Am, was in their adds for GM High Tech. Nu-Tek was also pumping out motors before things went south with them. MORE in NC had a couple good running cars also, Jason Dellingers black T trim Trans Am. It's cray the record stood where it did for so long. It'll be really cool to see how deep in to the 8s you guys go with the nitrous LT1s. Dave Ducote was the guy who owned the purple Formula that Madman built, 381 built by Patterson(?), D1R, sold the chassis to Ricky at NX, and then Ricky sold it to some on here. Car's a turbo SBC now, Baxters old car had a blown SBC when he sold it also. Madman must like purple LT1s becase thats what color that twin turbo LT1 their running is. Any case, enough old days, go 8s on Wednesday and post up your 8.7 pass

I got my motor back from Nu-Tek shortly before he closed up shop. I believe (the owner) works for Compstar last I heard, and MORE...I remember them too, barely. Overton and Quinn was running around about the same time, as those mentioned werent they? Or were they shortly after them?

Quinn was running about the same time, he was from Clawson Michigan I believe, No Rush Racing. I saw his car with the 370 cube GM LT1 headed and intake set up running 9s all motor at Thunder Shoot Out back in 03. Harden motor sports also had their black camaro with the sb2.2 headed LT1 out there at that particular event.
Steve's website http://home.wideopenwest.com/~squinn0039/index.html not sure if he still messes with LT1s any more, but pics of the car are there.

all the hard work you and your crew put into the car is paying off, i remember going on youtube and seeing the 4 inch dual exhaust, i was like "wow i want those too!!" haha.
seeing as you have nearly 10 mph on Tonys best run your car should hit the 8s soon.

As far as 10mph yeah, i'm spraying about 75 more hp more than Tony and we admittedly have a bit better air up here.... his car is definitely a beast... We'll get those 8's very soon. Hell I aborted an 8 already which pissed me off BAD! oh well.. we'll get it done. I'm thinking about going on veterans day (11 Nov).... if the track cooperates we'll get there....
