Anyone going to CFR on the 18th? I think a few Des Moines people are heading up there just to mess around. I have a new methanol injection kit that will be in by then and some old balding street tires that are begging to be put out of their misery

^^sounds like a good time, also if anybody is interested friday night is the last test and tune at eddyville and it looks like the weather forcast is really good. I know firehawk#682 and 355z28 were going to try and make it as well. So if anybody else is interested should be a good time.

It is just going to be a little hit, 100 shot should do what I want, if not, I'll go higher. I'm pretty pumped about it, I had a dry kit on it with the old converter & it was only a tenth faster than it is now on the motor. And I know these converters like spray!
I was hoping to have nitrous for next spring but a new rear end must come first. The way this economy is I probly shouldn't be doing anything. Of course if I just let the bank take my house I can live in my car..........DOWN BY THE RIVER!!

At this rate, you could skip paying for a house & Bush might put a bill together to cover you. Oops, never mind, you probably aren't a CEO of a crappy company.

I'll be taking some pics & vids of the LSx action in Memphis.

We have to much damn government! I get so sick of all these bail outs and agencies being created to help out someone at the expense of the working class.

Whats weird is I work for a window and door company and I've been working overtime. The last few weeks have been around 50 hours it must be the last minute rush to get things buttoned up before winter sets in.

well i could load it on my parents computer but its so old it will take 2 days to upload it and it will pry blow up lol.

do you thinks its possible to find newer software that will allow it to load on to vista? the camera software is good all the way up to windows xp.

the other video was recorded on a different camera thats why i loaded that so soon. the camera came with my new computer.

Had to haul my car home from eddville last night. I still have every gear and it shifts fine But seems like the trannys making quite a bit of knocking/rattling. I either think the Converter came apart, or I broke the flexplate/flywheel which hopefully is the problem considering I have no other problems with the tranny.

only got 3 passes in at eddville last night, Pretty busy with everyone breaking and putting fluid on the track. My third pass I finally flashed my converter off Idle and and improve my time over a half second on the last pass.

well dave if it is the converter at least it went before I got it to you. I still want those 918's either way lol

The yellow mustang that made a pass last night blew a head gasket. I guess you weren't the only one with problems. My timing was retarded and we managed to get down to a 7.73 before they closed the track down. Not too bad for 91 on bald street tires. I think I'm going to head to Cedar Falls next weekend on Saturday as well if anyone is interested.

7.44 I believe. He's an older guy named Pete, he was in my friends stang club back in the day. He's actually really nice in person and his son had that black cobra that was there as well. He's supercharged and around 550 I believe. His son had a TT supercharged kit from Hellion that had a lot of problems so he just stuck with the twins. Last night he said he was around 950 when he dyno'd it last.
