I had to go to the DR today, I'm sick as hell, she said my ear drums were inflamed. They are still kind of ringing!

Pneumonia for the phucking loss! It is going to be a boring week or so... At least I got to see a kickass show on my Bday!

PSJ I think we have enough peeps in here, but I am not sure how many of them have been to the track.... but I think there a few folks including myself that do have a couple time slips.

Before all my mods best is:
12.2@117


Others may want to post their personal best.

Ive ran a slow 12.90 at 110. But with the new setup, it should be in the 11's on a weak sauce launch.

Anyone have any ideas where I can get a box to ship my hood!! I have called just about all body shops in DSM and can't find squat. If I do find a hood box it's for a Saturn or Suzuki and it's to small. I have my hood sold to someone in Tenn and I need to get it shipped, I am desperate!!!!

hey, check an appliance store. I bet it would fit in a washer or dryer box, and you can just cut the sides down .

I've gone 10.98 on the stock bottom end and heads with a LT1. I plan on trying to go low nines on one stage and 8.90's this year with two stages. So my car is under a complete turn around this year. Sold everything but the motor so far from last year. I'm having a chromoly cage and fabbed rearend put in it now. Hope to get it back and start getting it ready for the new motor.


I pay just over $200 for a 60lb tank of nitrous thru airgas.


38 pages I can't read thru all of this read a few

2 tone for the win!!! Does it have the grille in the scoop?

The hex of the Iowa High School girls bball tourney has hit again, nice storm!!! I highly doubt the roads are going to be clean in 12 days...If not, I don't know if I'll drag my car to Chitown or not....

I'm getting better now, I'm released to go back to work on Wed...

Sweet! I can't remember are you doing heads also or just cam? I can't wait for the weather to start getting nice, you will have to bring it down here for sure!
Yeah I had a little road trip on Friday to Chicago to get that hood. It was a steal for that OEM SS hood even with the drive. I ended up making a box for that Ultra Z hood of mine, turned out really good and got it shipped out today. Next is a SS grill, I can't seem to find any for sale. Looks like I am going to have to spend a bunch and buy a new one from SLP.
