I'm out of Elgin but my car is still apart. My goal is to have everything completed by May 12th.
1. New Kirkey Pro drag seat going in
2. New 4 wheel disk brakes (Mark Williams drag brakes)
3. Subframe connectors removed (completed)
4. Both wastegates rebuilt (completed)
5. Torque converter sent out and tightened up (completed)
6. Tranny filter and fluid changed (completed)
7. 12 bolt fluid changed out
8. LCA's lightened by removing material
9. LS9 Head gaskets swapped (may wait on this for mid year or fall)
10. New wastegate springs (needed to hold more boost beyond 23PSI)
11. Retune for 28PSI (may wait on this this for mid year or fall)
A few more things needing work till I'm back on the road.

Uhhh when does Strats not go down on a Saturday if it's dry? During spring/summer as long as it's dry out, every Friday and Saturday there is always going to be somebody there....it's a given. I was just over there last weekend btw...

Formally Simplɘ Jack
Haha, that's what I heard. Did you go on friday? I heard saturday was "cancelled" due to St. Patty's day or some bs.
I did an oil change and cleaned the engine bay yesterday for the SS. I held off on giving it a carwash just in case, good thing I did lol.

Yeah its not raining here in Elk Grove at the moment either. So who knows. Would have to hit the touchless to remove a winters worth of dust and grime, but it still MIGHT happen.
