FlyinZ,

If you guys are still interested, please count me in. I would like see what my Formula is putting out before I get started on further mods. Any info would be appreciated.

I picked up this 97 Formula on ebay last year. I haven't done anything to it but it came with a Borla-CAT-Back exhaust, Baer brake system, Bilstein shocks and misc Moroso parts. I would like to go with a cam, different heads and then either nos or supercharger. I've always been a "if it breaks, fix it and keep going stock" type but now I'm ready for a project. I love the fbodys, I also have an 89 fbird(V6) and an 89Iroc-Z(350TPI). The v6 has seen better days but the Iroc-z is pretty tight. Anyway, If I can get the Formula measured before I do any mods to it, I will be happy. I'm still unsure of what it's going to cost me though. Is this guy really going to come all the way to springfield for 5 or 6 cars that just need a basic $150 dyno reading. Oh, I'm also trying to convince a friend with an 2000 SLP SS to bring his car. It would be nice for this to work out because otherwise I have to head to the suburbs.

Haven't heard anything, so I've scheduled a dyno reading with a couple of friends goin to Chicago. If you all end up going to Springfield, hope you all get the numbers you're lookin for. Later days....

I have seen this same event on another board. LS1tech is not the only place gathering people.

Here is one...not sure where else it is posted or how they will gauge total interest.
