We don't need to have a race to the 8s if we do that one of us will break our CHIT! I don't plan to turn up the volume until it cools off a little. I don't want a repeat of last year! I never made a full pass on the spray broke something everytime I went to the track!

Take it slow and sort out your bugs before you set it on kill.

No I had to hold off from the purchase a couple weeks due to my sons next college tuition. If the seller has it still in a couple weeks I'm going to jump on the deal.

Sure would be nice to have a Quick 8 LTX class somewhere I would be willing to drive a good distance for this if it ever happens.

Ok somebody quick set up this class up at the LSX shootout you know so they can show how much better the LSX stuff is

LT1 event would be really fun, I have a friend who runs a V6 Board, they had a "Southern V6 Clash," down here in Houston. If we wanted to run it at a track during one of their regular nights test and tune nights or what ever they may have, we could get a lane or two to run our event. We just gotta organize it, some where in Texas wouldnt be bad, Dallas would be a good place.

Glad to see you are making progress Tony. You'll be flyin' in no time. I have been following your build for quite some time and have to say you have been one of my inspirations.

I would be in for an LT1 shoot out.

We shook ours down. Wrong gears, went through the traps at 130 in 3rd gear...on motor

9" with 4.30's and a spool on the way.

New dyno numbers in sig.

Same here, losing the heater box, adding a cage, losing the front seats, adding Kirkeys, losing the bumper supports and airbags, radio for nitrous setup and should be a little lighter then. The rest is already done.
