I signed it as well. My HOT ROD came from Michigan and there is no way for a front plate to be displayed without damage to the car.

Went ot Eddyville Saturday for the last T&T/Gamblers race and I changed my launch technique and to TR6 plugs gapped at .036" + very good air

8.04 @ 85.43mph
8.03 @ 85.99mph
7.96 @ 86.87mph
7.90 @ 86.66mph - 1.75 60', 17lbs in ET streets, 4k rpm, drop the clutch, non-power shifting

Very impressed for as little as i've got done to this thing

A couple of LS1 firebirds were there and some 5.0 Mustangs, but not much other newer street cars

nope not yet, still trying to pay for bike engine parts and no extra laying around for the electronics i need since its a drive by wire.
I'm thinking i'll be changing cams and heads before must else. i've talked with Unstang on here and i'm pretty much in love with his setup and he's not spray and running deep into the 7's

Hey Fenton, love the wheels!

If it wasn't for rebuilding my +$5000 drag bike engine this winter i could start to get nasty with my huge "Wish list" of engine parts........ i just wonder how long that stock I.R.S. will last.....tick tock tick tock?

I checked the DA, it was killer, sorry I missed it. HOPEFULLY it will be good on 11/1, I'm taking the SS to Cordova.

The Vette IRS is far superior to my 10 bolt, you'll be fine.
