Yup. I'm getting what is hopefully the last of the bugs out of Azar's car tomorrow night, so he should be good to go. I'm getting the tune closer on mine, and getting a little better at rowing, so I should be out in decent form. Depending on how much I drive it between then and now, I may be out on my new ethanol tune...

I might be up this weekend also. Hope to see some sweet cars. I'll still park in the back. HAHA.

Good grief Charlie Brown! You need to get your F-body's running (at least the LT1 )

The weather should cooperate for this weekend, so hopefully you can make it out to Halls either Friday or Saturday. Since this is a 3 day weekend, its probable that Sunday night will also be a car night at Halls.

Even if you can't make it to Halls, make sure you give me a call so we can hang out and catch up sometime. The wife and I are "house sitting" for some friends of my wife's parents. They have a really nice house, so if nothing else, you and your family can come hang out.

Got my new tires mounted today...looking good. 315/35/17 BF Goodrich KD's out back and 275/40/17 BF Goodrich KD's up front...of course it does me no good without a rear end but I can take one more thing off the list.

So far, so good. I'm still waiting for Chad to let me know when he can retune it down in Kokomo. I heard from Joe that it won't happen this weekend, like Chad told me Sunday. Would have been nice to hear it from Chad. I just want to make sure he has plenty of time to get it perfect, so I don't have to do it twice. He'll have to tune it for the bigger shot (probably 200) without the NANO. Then install the NANO (fifeteen minute job, I hear) and retune it with a 20% smaller nitrous jet. If the fuel system can hack it, I might go 225. We'll wait and see.

May want to consider stand a lone fuel cell and 116 octane for 225+ shot. DOn't do it....200 shot, pump gas is all you want to throw at that 4L60E tranny!!! Should get in the 9's with gears and a hard launch....then new rear!

get a 1.45 short time and you will hit 9.8-9.9 at 135-140

Alright fellas, most of you (with the exception of maybe Dan's LT1, and my Formula) have got your cars all dialed in now, and we have numerous races setup among ourselves, and we've talked about making a track day to Muncie for a long time now, and GE is holding their track day on Friday June 6th, and I can't think of a better time to make a day out of it than this.

Who's in?

I hear ya. I'll only push it as far as Chad recommends. I think 200 should be plenty. I'm waiting for the Autocal to come out. It'll store up to 8 different tunes. According to Chad, it's still 8 weeks off. That way I can max both NA and a 200 shot and not compromise. I'd do some E85 tunes too, but I'd need to spend big money on upgrading the fuel capacity. Can't afford that now.
