cool vid man and the car sounds sick

I would hate that fuel pump after a mile of driving though.

E cutouts would be the ticket in your case man

EDIT: once you get the 60 down you are going to have some killer ET to go with that awesome MPH

Lol, I think he is refering to the sped up video of him working on the car. Like he might be implying that you should hire him due to his efficient work.

yes I know and I do not see it knocking us in anyway and I'm not knocking SS Aleks in anyway either

I do have one guy that rocks and is just about as quick without speeding up the cam

Yes, but it's not luck.
A few years ago, after reinstalling the 12 bolt on my back in late fall in the rain, I decided that since my car habit was not going to change I should at least have a dry place to work.

LS1 SPEED: Thanks for the compliments. I only pull the exhaust off for the track, mainly because it's not loud enough to get noticed in the staging lanes, or I get drowned out by some guy with open headers. I also like the weight savings from not having to carry around the exhaust system. Ironically I don't like very loud cars, so I make up for it with the original SLP 2OTL. The cobra guys don't know what to think when I am out and about.

AChotrod: I am a decent mechanic, but I am trying to make my mark as an EFI tuner. I have a decent portfolio of cars I have worked on, and I have a good range of EFI systems under my belt. If only my web guy was a little faster...

96blkform: Sadly, no. The guy that did my cage turned 3 weeks into almost 3 months, so I missed the whole summer. I will have it out in the next couple of weeks. I will send you a PM, maybe you can hook up with us when I get my friends together for a drive around town?

CamaroRacing12: The car is totally stock with regard to the chassis (cruise, air bags, power windows, bumpers, and A/C). I only added a 10 point roll bar. I had the car weighed after the cage, and it was 3,475 before the windshield (factory glass), and the carpet and door trims. I just got the car back last week, and I have not had time to get the panels fit and the carpet cut. However, I don't think that the door panels and carpet can be more than 40 LBS. I ran the car at Mi 13 last weekend and ended up with a 10.9 @ 128.4. That is up .5 mph over the previous best when the car was 100 LBS lighter. I guess the cage helps put more power to the ground instead of twisting the chassis. I have to get the rest of the car sorted out a little better so I can get an E.T. closer in line with my trap speed.

Sounds good. Have not had mine out much at all either, maybe put a couple hundred miles on it this summer, so I am up for a final drive before it goes into hibernation.

I hear ya... gotta say the 2OTL sounds awesome as well. INTMD8 ran that for some time on his TT LT1.

keeps things a bit more tame and allows you to surprise a few people
