sorry, n/a is 329/330.
410/435 is on a 100 shot.
Its getting some knock on the nitrous and pulling a lot of timing as you can see so i am going to get a nitrous tune and get some more bolt ons to try to reach 360 n/a and 450 on spray.

Well my mounts came in today and they look nothing like they did on the site. Header, well without telling me before i purchased that they were out of the s10 headers im now waiting. Its looking like its going to be a week or so before i even get the headers in. So the motor wont be in this week. If i would have known they were out of headers and the mounts are completely diff from any others sold i would have ordered elsewhere. Sorry, just not happy and venting.

Cody, this sound about right:
Service guy driving an M6 with a Tex clutch: killed it 4 times getting to the lift.
He says "hey man you got cats?"
Owner "no"
Guy "so you cut them off?"
Owner "yep"
Guy "Yeah I could tell, kept wanting to die on me. See the cats regulate the fuel. Thats why its hard to take off"
Owner "it has a cam and a Tex clutch"
Guy "uh huh"
Owner "i had a guy come down from out of state to tune the computer"
Guy "uh huh"
Owner "you know, with HPTuners?
Guy "yeah, well I knew a guy with a mustang that took his cats off once. He just ran straight pipes. I told him not to. Well after about 6 months he burnt the valves in that motor. Thats why you cant cut them off. Your valves burn up."
Owner "uh huh"
Guy "Yeah you gotta go to a speed shop to get some good cats to put on there. They run about $900 bucks or so for the whole set-up"
Owner "ok, thanks

Does anyone have a set of stock cats laying around? I needa put some back on cuz there's no way I can afford to replace burnt valves...

Well i just bought a complete set of 99ish firebird wheels for my s10 and they dont fit. Ill sell all 4 for $150. They do not have tires and could use a coat of paint. All centers are there.
This is what they look like. I can send you pics if need be. I will not take less than $150 for all 4. I just want my money back Thanks

Hey everyone,
I hope ya'll have had a great winter so far. I finally found my driveline vibration & got it cleared up. So hopefully when the weather is nice & I get time off work, I can meet up with some of ya'll. Then ya'll can take turns beatin up on my SlowBra.

569HP/566TQ @ 19lbs. on they dyno when the vibration started. I'm gonna go for a retune later on & hope for a lil more power. If not oh well as long as it runs good. I'm also gonna see what it will pull on 23lbs, but i won't be able to run that on the street.
I haven't ever run this car at the track so idk what I can get out of it there yet.
Last time I ran at the track was in my old car with 250 less hp than this one.

Yea no doubt. I think it has more in it, but i know well enough it ain't gonna hang with that boosted LS motor you got.
