I really have no intention of racing your Grand National because they have a history of being very fast cars, also it being around since the mid-80's, you have had a very long time to mod it. I was just curious about the power it was putting down. Generally, car people like to talk about their cars rather than avoiding the question with a quick little comment. There is always someone with more money, and that has a faster car. I just like bullshitting about cars and seeing some cool set-ups of stuff I hope and wish I'll be able to do someday. It's all in good fun. If any of you guys ever need an extra pair of hands just holler, I'm always up for learning something new.

For the record, it's not *my* GN, it's my younger brother's (buzzinhalfdozen). However, it resides in my garage, and we all know that posession is 9/10 of the law.
Plus I've got a set of keys...
Didn't mean to be short with you. Maybe I just took it the wrong way because I don't know you and the first thing you say to me is bragging about "putting lengths" on me? Anyways, stop by sometime and introduce yourself, and you can help turn wrenches on the truck that will pull lengths on your TA next summer

pddye-
I won't be there tomorrow... I got the whole week off! No school + No work = me very happy

I seriously was not trying to brag. You may of not even been getting on it I dont know.
The only reason I knew it was you is cuz you passed me after the whole thing then turned into your driveway before I turned into the 2nd entrance. I know those things can be fast, I got a buddy in Washington with a turbo diesel that runs low 12's all day. But I got few things up my sleeve this winter as well
It's all in good fun though man. I'm not one of those people that thinks I have the fastest and baddest ride ever. Does that blue truck of yours have kind of a wooden plank style(?) bed? If so, I checked it out once down at Pete's in town... It's a really nice truck!

I know your camaro is fast... Ben was trying to tell me about it, but all he really knew for sure was that you 'did a bunch of **** to it' and 'it's fast!' What all you got done to it? Do you do all the installs yourself? Also whats that Supra run? Do you know the guy?

Swing by, and I'll take you for a ride.Yeah, you must be talking about AJ. His rig runs real good.
Hey Eric, didn't realize that you were on here, much less a site sponsor! How's it going? Did Greg get the tune sorted out on your camaro yet?

My car is just a bolt-on car for now (except for the nitrous)...still has the stock heads and cam. It runs really good for what it is. I do all the work myself. I enjoy doing it.
I know the guy who owns the Supra and know about what his car would run. Now, I'm not trying to be a dick, but I'm not the type to go around telling people about everyone else's setups. If he wants to tell you, that's fine. It's really not my place. He is an older guy, his name is Wayne, and he is a very nice guy. You'll just have to ask him if you see him out.
The reason why some people may seem a little short with you is because nobody really knows you, and you start asking about everyone else's setups without even mentioning one thing about yours. It can be a touchy subject to some.

yessss...
well, the tune is ok... but thats about it. we didn't get much time with it being that it only ran for the last 3 weeks of the season, and i spent most of that fighting the supercharger belt. warmer weather and some rebound time will help now. probably gonna have to do some combo change with the engine. heads don't wanna stay on it real well. boost+full exhaust=headaches can you say LSX????

Eric knows me! And I'm one of your cousin's best friends. He speaks very highly of you.
My setup is nothing fancy, full bolt-ons, minus suspension mods. I have my springs and I'm waiting on getting struts (hopefully Koni's or Revalved Bilsteins) LCA's, Relo Brackets, and a Panhard Rod. Any suggestions on brand and where to buy them is welcome! Right now I'm set on buying that 150 shot.
I've got 2 options on the nitrous. I can get a wet plate kit from Harris Speed Works along with a bottle heater, remote bottle opener, and purge for 830. Or a Wet Kit from NX with a bottle heater and fuel pressure safety switch for 850. Any thoughts on which way to go? I'm kind of leaning towards the HSW based on the price and I've heard nothing but good things about their products and customer support.
My name is Collin by the way.

Personally, I would go with the NX. You can't go wrong with NX's quality and their customer service (trust me...I've had to test them on this with my TPS WOT switch). You don't need a remote bottle opener right off and you can always add it later on.
I went with a TNT F2 kit because I got a deal on it locally. If I didn't get the TNT kit, I would have went NX.
