Well my 2000 Z just got done with the rollers..
Car turned 347rwhp.
They also did a simulated 1/4 mile run.. 12.37... Sounds pretty promising!!
Car has 171k miles and only exhaust and a lid...

*edit* dyno slip read 355/360.. 12.37 @111mph (simulated) 12.6 and I'd be way happy with it!!

I'm not too worried about the ride up... its the during and drive home that will be the real test.

There will also be a Aerocharger turbo'd Victory Vegas running around in the central IL group, too.

There will be a bunch of people from around me going. I'll be bringing my TA. Dont know if i'll be doing much racing....never know. My car is turned down a lot from last year. I pulled the engine/trans out that was in last year to go in my Nova, stock 5.3 now w/ the same turbo setup.. Should still be a fun cruiser. I just got the trans put back together in the car and getting that finished now.

From what ive heard I got friends going up thursday, trying to set races up all day friday, party hard friday night, and race all night saturday.


There is a bunch of other guys looking to do something also. Some DSM's I know and a bunch of their friends from Madison. We are all staying at the Diamond Hotel, its 2 down from the old Marleys. Should be a party palace and hope we dont get kicked out...lol.

Looking forward to a fun weekend. Anyone is welcome to stop by the Diamond.
Dont be offended if people are yelling and stuff....lol. Everyones looking to race not fight...lol.

pwrtrip75- we should be down there by about 4:00 on Friday. Well swing through the diamond inn after we check in at our hotel. I have a feeling we may start drinking heavily and early, but maybe we can set somthing up, or atleast get some races set up for Sat. night.

Im not even worried. Like pwrtrip said the weather people suck. Im actually glad they are calling for rain. By the time Friday gets closer Ill bet there forecast changes. Its going to be one hell of a party if it rains all weekend.

Just a few small things left to button up on my car and it will be ready. Might have another bad fuel pump, 3rd walbro in 3 years. Ill change that out today or tomorrow. The only thing good about changing pumps so often is that Im getting pretty fast at it. Should be less than an hour start to finish.
