Thanks man, I appreciate it! Honestly im not sure at the moment. My cars not ready, but we were planning on taking my brothers. Then that changed, and he decided to start on his turbo build. So im definitely gonna try and make it down, just not 100% sure yet.

You gonna be able to make it?

I don't think I'm going to make it down. Money is raping me at the moment. Just can't justify taking time off work and rolling down there, especially w/out the car, which won't be ready and I don't have a trailer. Not gonna take a 200 shot stock bottom end car down there to have it break and pay to tow it back.

Yah, I can understand that. This isn't a very nitrous friendly race setup anyways, im sure you would have to pull a couple more degrees to get the motor to live. Honestly, I don't know how many of our big hitters are gonna make it. Most of our big cars are down at the moment.

Oh yeah, definitely.
But, I will be attending TX2K11. TSC may be a sponsor for the event this year. I don't think my new setup will be ready by then, but we'll see. I'll be there regardless to have a badass time though.

It'll be a good time nonetheless! I'm planning on a 408/PT88 build, kinda looking to stay 6speed, but we'll see if I can get one that can somewhat handle that kinda power. Should make around 1000 on pump through a 6speed...

The most laughable part of this thread is 03supercobra and IWGF making it their own and totally ignoring the OP. Ha Ha.
