By the way, LSM Engineering can do a custom cam for ya. They are in Waterford, awesome guys to work with. One of the guys that works there was running a cam/exhaust only LS1 and I think he was hitting near 12 flats on motor, well in the 11's on the bottle.

Where you live? I just put a Torquer v2 112 in last week and don't have it tuned yet. It runs strong w/o a tune, so I may live w/o one for a bit.

I grew up and my family lives in Davison. Never seen your car, everyone owns a Lesabre and a Pickup in Davison. Yeah, if you want to hear a v2 sometime let me know, it pulls harder mid to limiter now. IMO it feels like it has as much HP at 5K rpm as it did before at redline. It will spin hard going into 2nd now vs a solid chirp and now will spin a bit shifting to 3rd.

I live 6 houses from woodward in Ferndale....needless to say, I'll be out there about everyday as soon as the textralia install is complete. Cops are worst in Birmingham, but watch the south bound tunnel under 696...they sit there everyday.

Gratiot/Crashit, sucks. Kids in Daddy's sclade, wearing so much cologne I can smell it from my car, and never paying attention!

Hey man thanks for coming out. You ever beat that truck or did he puss out, haha.

I think we should start organizing some serious meets. What do you think?

Ya, nice meeting you too man, too bad I had to leave before everybody showed up. I sold my SHO today though so I’m thinking on going with a few mod's. Going to get a stall, headers and 125 shot im thinking. We ended up racing a stock or so he said c5 corvette on the highway on the way back and lost by like 7 lengths and ran into a 2007 Mustang GT with headers and some **** and managed to beat him by half a car. I wanted to run without the kids in the back but oh well. Cya later
