He was texting me about something I was selling on CL so I think he is local.
If you don't want to spend the $$ right now to upgrade that will get you by for a little while...

Anything going on in Des Moines tonight? We have a 2000 NBM SS and a 2001 WS6 down here with Power Tour and we're looking for something to do for a while tonight before the cruise tomorrow. PM for a phone number if you want to meet up.

We made it back from the dirty south last night....2010 Hot Rod Power Tour was a blast. There definitely are some stories to be told & some to not to be....I never though I'd be so glad to see Iowa! It was HOT in Alabama!!! I'll get some pics of the tour up & link them here.

FYI RPM transmissions in Indiana is now working on a Stage 6 4L60E w/ billet shafts and a killer converter... aka converting my car over to an automatic to get the nasty power down to the ground..... that oughta wake the basturd up! (at least it better) Unfortunately its not just a bolt in and go, i gotta do all the converting my self, wiring etc.
Oh yeah i gotta get the damn thing retuned with the automatic so this will be the 3rd time to Speed inc's dyno, maybe i should move closer to it lol
I'll keep ya informed on the progress.

Any of you guys going to the Omaha Ice Cream cruise on August 7th? Last year we had several hundred cars show up with a ton of bikes as well. Just finished up my e85 on Friday and made 605 through an unlocked tranny.

My car will be sitting for awhile. 4th gear is done for. Transmission will be coming out shortly and will be getting rebuilt right this time.
Anyone want to buy it though, haha? I am tempted to either give it away or drive it to the middle of nowhere and light it on fire
