M6, year doesn't really matter. Would prefer under 60k miles and under 14000 or so. Modded or stock Camaro or T/A or firebird.

Hilton: the car is running great! I just put a new boost controller in and got some custom molding done in the center console so I'm gonna put it back on the rollers to make sure everything is ok!

How is yours coming along?

How hard is it to drop the pan for the timing cover. And if I do mess up the gasket it can just be rtv'd to seal it back, right

Just loosen the pan bolts a few rounds and allow the front to drop about 1/4 inch and you should be fine if you work slowly.

exactly correct. but no, trying to rtv **** will just leave you unsatisfied with leaks that never stop. I learned from experience on my first cam swap.

Mine is having all kinds of electrical problems. I think Chad and I pissed off the same demon.

The radiator is out of an m6, and $100. Has 36k on it.

Anyone know the AHRA rules on running 10.50 to 9.50s?

I'm thinking it will follow the NHRA rules but im not sure. I read somewhere that they moved the parachute from 150mph to 9.99 ET. I guess they are figureing out that being quick is just as bad as being fast.

My car is quickly starting to point towards a all out drag car the more i look at it. More money!

Thanks wayne!

Looks like AHRA is still retaining the old 150mph rule for the chute and 9.0 for liscense and upgraded cage along with fire restraint system (exstinguisher) and full fire suit. It looks like im good to go with my normal safety stuff.....i hope

After the last time i was at RRR i did not give a damn if i ever came back but since they are under new management i'll give it another shot. I'm also on my old shift again with getting every other weekend off,so i should have plenty of chances to race again. I'll split some time between TR and prescott this year,plan to run some bracket events at prescott with some buddies.
