two things NUMBER 1) you guys should go to what blacknsingle is talking about lol atleast if you think your car is fast.... i went out there a few years ago the lsx scene is nuts out there as well as the cobra. you guys will seriously have a blast just ask black when he's rolling out it's actually one of the best cruises i've ever been on.

and number 2) andy im a tell you this go to mike a dubs6 and get you the clutch package i got, then take your **** to all drive and have them rebuild it. i know its not going to be cheap but my **** was running strong untill i blew up my rear end...... but then again how many cars do you hear about people ripping second and blowin there **** up

Andy, where are you taking it to have it fixed now?

And Mike, I like your sig with the 408 l92/l76 setup Now make it happen!

Also, people need to tell people to buy my car and keep the look out a bit before next summer for a nice 98-02 WS6 or 99+ C5 for a good price

Just wanted to give a heads up to everyone...I host a bonfire/get-to-gether in Norwalk every year out at my folks house. This year will be on Sept 18th in the evening so mark your calenders. We grill out and just BS the whole night...good time to meet new people and check out some sweet cars. Last year we had prolly 30 or so cars and a bunch of people. BYOB and meat to grill. I'll throw a post up a couple weeks before to remind everyone.

Yeah I went, but didnt go down the track many times because I couldnt hook/launch worth a damn with these 19's haha.. didnt think it would be as bad as it was.
2.1 - 2.3 60 ft and mid 8's were my best hahah
nothing a good wheel/tire setup cant change tho.
cant wait to see how much time I can take off just by changing that tho.

Yes we are leasing a building. We are in Norwalk, got everything moved out there and are operational. All the lifts are installed and working, dyno is set in place but since its an above ground dyno, and dynojet no longer builds the catwalk for our dyno, I have to build it. And since the car straps to the catwalk setup when dynoing....well you get the idea. Should be up and going within 4-6 weeks I'm guessing. We hope to have a big open house when everything is done.

I was just asking Mitchell if you were going to do the BBQ thing again. I think I will just be getting back from fishing that Saturday. Keep us posted on the shop. Looking forward to seeing it.

Looking forward to seeing the new place! It will be nice to have a dyno tuner and a good shop in Central Iowa. Is the building going to be the new WS6store warehouse as well?

Last I heard all of the parts and whatnot was moved into the new warehouse.

Can't wait to have a legitimate tuner I'd trust my next LS1 with in central Iowa

Yes we are currently operating out of the new facility. It functions as our warehouse, shop, and storefront.

...And the move sucked!

I went and kinda dissappointed. I'm thinking my car has some problems. Ran 8.11 cam only with most bolt on, 3600 stall, stock rear and 28 in slicks. The car is a full weight, fully optioned car. Does any one else think this is slow? I cut a 1.80 short time.

Yeah...Considering I ran 7.70 to 7.78 consitanty with a cam only lt1 fully loaded and full weight. I think your gear and tire combo is hurting you significantly. 3.23 gears and 28" tires dont mix IMO.

FWIW Orangemagic on here went from running 7.70-7.80 on a 26" slick and switched to a 28" slick running 8.0-8.3.

You need less tire or more gear... Are you stalling it up or just trying to flash it from idle?

Make your gear and tire setup match better.

My full exhaust LT1 running rich in need of a tune on some beat drag radials ran the times in my sig. It only ran 13.024@102.XX in the 1/4 though
