Default Straightline- New Lennox

Hey any of you Chicago guys know the Straightline performance guy? We were doing a little friendly **** talking on another board and I am just curous what he runs? I looked around his site but it was pretty new and not many things worked.

Is he a decent dude?

1. A green 97 Z28 if he's still running the same car he had...


2. 1320hp.com has a vid link on the right side of the page titled "Stock LT1goes 10.54"...

3. I met Tony a couple months ago when he dynoed my car, he was cool to me.

Like he said, his set-up changes like the wind blows, I've seen it. It's never the same. Don't beat yourself up trying to figure it out. BTW, you won't find any usefull info on here either. And he's a great guy who knows his ****. Not too many of those left.

Tony ****... what's there to say about him? Nah, kidding aside. I get all of my parts from him that i buy new. I have no problem sending people to him or having anything done for my car there. They do great work at a price you can't argue with. The only thing is they're usually kind of busy because i believe its just Tony and Nick most of the time. Every now and then some others are there to help but i don't personally know them.

Nope that was my buddy Nate, I sent you my number too but you never called. My car is still in the works but maybe by late August I will be on the road. I dont street race any more cause it aint safe but if you want to line it up at the track come the LS1TECH race at MIR let me know.

The problem is I am in the military and they are sending my *** out of town for a while so my car is unfortunately not going to be on the road in time for you two's showdown in Indy.

Your number was wrong and I thought you were nate, because he told rich that you guys will have the RX7 there.


PS guys, I am doing the Pinks Episode again and we are racing these chiefs, so dont go telling them anything about our secrete weapons.

Nope I am Mike my buddy is Nate.

Secret weapons? You wanted to blab to Nate about your "secret weapons" on the phone.

Like Nate said "bring whatever you ******* want, we will see you in Indy"

Oh and how much coin did you lose on your last trip to Houston? You seem to aviod that question.
