My car dynoed at 385/375, but the tune was way off and was pulling 4* of timing. I think it's closer to 400 now that the tuning issue has been taken care of but I just haven't been back to see. The best I've run in I believe what was 93* and some of the other guys may know exactly what the temp was that day. I know it was hot and most of us were running about the 2-3 tenths slower than normal. I was cutting 1.5 60's on 26x11.50 Mickey's.
This was my best run of the day. And yes I know I got slaughtered lol

This was my first run on the new cam/9" setup. After a a tweek of the suspension she dropped a lil bit of time. As you can see on the previous video.

Stock short block will handle 6800 for a long time in an auto. If you are 6 speed, don't go from 3rd back to 2nd. Not good
My dad bent about 12 push rods at one time doing that in my 98. My family has had 5-6 stock bottom end LS cars that all went several years of racing every weekend shifting @ around 6800 and running in the 11.3's-11.8's with no failures until we started spraying one of them every weekend. It finally spun a rod bearing.
My first LS camaro had close to 3000 problem free passes on it when I sold it to Josh D. I think he put about another 100 or so on it with no issues. Streetstalker ran his every weekend for years before he put a bigger cam in it and finally killed it shifting around 7200 if I remember correctly.
I have always heard how sorry these stock rods are but I have never seen one that just came apart for no reason. But I'm not saying it doesn't happen

Is it normal to be able to see dirt while sitting in the passenger seat? 
On a side note, I dunno if anyone has any projects going on, but I have 2 mint mufflers off a 10 Challenger. They are very square in size and are 2 1/2 inlet/outlet. They are like brand new. Would be willing to let them go pretty cheap. Wouldn't fit an f body I dont think though.

How's it going guys? Go figure im back int he sandbox AGAIN! dammit.. well if you can really even call the Deid the sandbox..
Anway, i head back around the 1st week in Jan. When i get back looking at doing Pacesetter LTs, x-pipe, then dumped bullets. any suggestions on a good set-up? Then right around summertime im wanting to FINALLY do a heads/cam swap. I'm thinkng 224/224 112LSA would be a good cam to keep the car still DD material. On a funny note, i need tog et my driver side window motor replaced or just looked at. Since ill be replacing the drivers side motor more than likely ill probably just pony up the extra cash and get the passenger side done too. Other than that the only mod im thinkn of doing is rotor/pads, gears..and.. even though i'm pretty against sound systems, im going to have to replace my blown speakers in the car.. but thats for another day. I'll probably do that when i head home back to Texas on leave after i leave here.
Just wanted to say hey. See how things back in Shreveport/boss city are going. Before i forget, are there any f-body cruises planned for Feb timeframe?
You guys take it easy. Hopefulyl the next 3 months fly by
lol

^^I personally would suggest single chamber flowmasters. I prefer the sound of them over bullets. However, it is more difficult to tuck them bc they are bigger then bullets.
