Well lt1forever looks like if i was you i would be having a talk with your mechanic cause a couple weeks ago my stock ls1 with a few free mods, air lid, exhaust, and tuner beat your 383 stroker. So to everyone that believes all the cars in ottumwa are fart cans then i'll get some of the guys gathered up to race on the street or eddyville. Yes there are a hell of a lot of POS hondas fart cans around but theres still faster cars than you think. Not hating on anyone just throwing out the facts.

. But when we met back up I remember asking you if you wanted to run from a roll again and you just happened to be low on gas. It also seemed like your friend did most of the talking about your car etc, while you were practically silent the whole time. And what is not true about what I said about Ottumwa's selection of cars? You can practically count the number of nice F-Bodys driving around in Ottumwa on 1 hand compared to the dozens of loud ricers. Granted theres an occasional nice/fast car rolling around. And probably a few very nice Drag cars that just sit in the garage most of the year. But I dont ever recall saying that EVERY car in town was either Slow or a rice burner. All I said was that there are alot of ridiculous rice burners rolling around town. I highly doubt many people on this board even know of Ottumwa let alone what cars are here.
I'll do as you say and "have a chat with my mechanic
" FYI I'd be interested in a possible rematch this summer, unless your still low on gas. No hating on anyone... just stating the facts. Last edited by LT1forever; 04-30-2009 at 09:52 PM.

I have to work all weekend and prom........ but the weather don't look to promising anyway and I don't have the car ready yet. Still have to change fluids, install EWP, and install new header gaskets. I have no clue what it's going to do since a switch to a 26x10.5-15 ET street from a 28x10.5-15 ET drag.

first of all you told me that you just got the motor in not too long ago and your mechanic told you not to race. if the motor has 1700 miles on it that is more than enough to run it wide open all the way. when we raced from a dig i spun through half of 2nd. i'm looking forward to running you again, that is if you can keep your dampener on.

Just have fun on here, and don't let things get personal.

It's all good guys...lol...just save some for the imports and mustangs. Since I've pretty much quit racing and just been a spectator I've noticed mustangs have been ruling the roost down at Eddyville lately.
When is someone with an ls1 gonna step up and take on some cobra's around here? Only a couple people I know personally that race alot and can do it are unstang and sjones99.
