Congrats on the #'s guys. You both have some strong cars... Harbaugh please keep the car straight.. It is a little nerve wracking seeing your car sideways at 70mph..

Don't count on that... I have a little something special for you guys this year! I'm probably going to be the SLOWEST :*(

But oh well...
It's a 2002 Z28 (LS1/T56) Stock other than a SLP Lid w/ K&N Filter, PS LT's, and TSP TD's. *Oh and MSD Wires and NGK Plugs. lol

Yep it's probably gonna be the slowest.

Yep I picked up another F-Body. lol I kinda had too! I got it for a pretty good deal and all it needed was the Transmission to be rebuilt! So I had it rebuilt and added the exhaust and a Fresh Tune-up on it. But it's for sale. lol I'm gonna sell it for $8k. It runs STRONG! I haven't got into it all the way b/c the trans is so new. I only got into it about 1/2 throttle twice and it pulls good! I can drive a stick pretty good, so we'll see how good it does this year at the track if I don't sell it first! It has been a little while since I have raced a manual Trans. equipped car, But I'm sure I'll be just fine! As long as I can get some sort of traction.

Hell my girl wanted it more than I did, since I traded her Formula for a V6 RS lol. She wanted it so she could try to keep up next year. I plan on getting some new wheels for it if I keep it... But IDK what type to go with just yet!

But since I bought the new Z, I haven't had any spare cash to buy any go fast parts for my car... But I guess it all works out in the end. I gotta keep the peace at home. The GF said If I didn't get her a V8 Camaro for next season, she was gonna make me sleep on the couch til I got her 1. I told her "GOOD" I am tired of being crowded in the bed anyways. lmao But you see I got the V8 camaro huh!

Well ttyl man!

I did one when I did the cam swap on my GTO. It wasn't bad considering I already had everything torn down to do the cam. It fit really tight on the crank. I had to heat it up with a torch and beat it on with a rubber mallet but that's all it took to put it on. You will need a three arm balancer puller you can rent from autozone to pull the stock one. You get all your money back when you take it back.

nathan and i put one of those on the pewter car. it was a straight forward install. the only problem is that it didn't gain a thing at the track.

well that kinda sucks but im thinking of doing it anyway lol. did you have to pull anything out of the front end to get to it and get the puller on there. a lift sure would make it easier im sure....have to see what mikey is doing lol

Like the others have said, It's not that bad... I have installed a couple of them. I can get the tool from my brother and help if you need a hand installing it. Or if Mike doesn't charge that much, Just have him do it. Sometimes it's nice to not have to get dirty. lol!
