We ended up chasing down some dork in a 5.0L with the NAWSSS. He thought he was bad driving all the way from Muscatine for a piece. Too bad he got drug and had to drive home all upset.
After that some dude in a 2nd Gen 300 ZX decided he'd follow me down to JD and act tough.
So as you can see we got kind of busy. But if you us see throw a wave or rev or whatever, we are always looking for new faces.
Truthfully we usually go out to Iowa for the racing action. JD road yielded up plenty of drag-racing tickets for our group last year, so we usually try and stay away from it.
what nights do ya usually hang out there at the kmart?
is that the one on the ave or on jd rd....might swing in some time..to see whats up....
just to let you guys know..i have hp tuners for 98's and 2001's right now and will have the other years soon
so if ya need some logs or codes deleted i'll be glad to help out...
later...........

Bam Bam, if you get the tuner for 02's I'll need my fans set so I can install my 160*. I was going to ask Glenn where he had that vinci tune done at so I could have them set my fans, I dont know what they'd charge though.

I think I'm gonna take the snell sticker off my motocross helmet and put it on my racing helmet. Hell, I've used it all last year and they never said anything up until this past weekend.
I think, and hope, they were just **** about everything because it was opening weekend, and that they'll ease up the rest of the year. Oh, I've also gotta get a "better fitting battery or modify the holder to fit" cuz mine wiggles.
I'm just more pissed about the helmet issue. It's ridiculous IMO.

The vinci tuner is actually a programmer marketed by crane,same thing different sticker.It is 1 car at a time use and its well worth the money once you go cam and bolt-ons.Not to knock down your thermo choice but I think a 180* is better for these motors,they make the best power around 190-200.I have a 178* that keeps the car around 185-190 depending on the weather.That 04 Z06 ran the 11.9 stock after a hot lap.

And yes, I definitely know our cars can handle. There are also plenty of articles to prove it. Hell, if Steve Millen can compliment a 2001 SS as well as to say it handles great, feels very planted, and can lap in it all day long... than that should be good enough right there lol.

^ VERY EXCELLENT article for any doubters.
(take a look at what the SS outlapped)... and our cars are just straight line racers.
