That gives me lots of hope but maybe my expectations are a little low then. LOL My local track doesn't prep much though, the track has been really bad the last few years. I'd love to see my car exceed expectations.

I hope to see very low 11's N/A with the 241 heads, high 10's N/A with the Trick Flow heads and use the plate kit to see 9's. After I master the N/A/nitrous build I will most likely be doing a boost build to hopefully put the car in the 8's. I have an idea of a time line but I am certainly not in a hurry. I want to enjoy wrenching in the garage, testing, building it correctly and then driving it. I like to continually better what the car is capable of but know that I am quickly approaching the point of no return...and have lost sight of budget already. lol

My son and I just were on the power tour with the car. What a blast!
We met a really cool father/son who were in a cammed LT camaro and he had a go pro. Here is a video he loaded following me as my son was driving my car, he opened the cut out as we came into this town and watch at the right side when a little kid plugs his ears. It was a lot of fun.

I am setting the trick flow heads aside until I boost. Made it to the track last Saturday but got rained out so hopefully return soon. I did finally get the nitrous installed and the progressive wired up. I just need to figure out how to set the progressive up and go spray this thing. I installed non-projected tip plugs and now it idles terrible. I guess that's part of the price for nitrous? We have not tried retuning the idle yet.

When I bought the a previous owner had welded rectangular stock to the chassis as a form of subframe connector. I didnt like them or the flex my tunnel mount torque seemed to be creating in the floor of the car so I installed a set of umi three point subframe connectors. It's a whole new car! Handles very solid now. Also installed the umi drag bar, links set to neutral tension but I just realized my buddy's links point straight down and mine are severely angled. I am going to have to figure out how these need to be set up correctly.

This may come as a shocker but I have decided to quit messing around with 420-450 rwhp and a shot of nitrous...it's time for big power. I will be creating a new build thread in the Forced Inductions section. I am going to have some very nice low mileage parts for sale soon including my entire T56 set up.

Made it to the track tonight and got a few passes in before we were rained out.
10.65 @ 131 mph. Still figuring out how the progressive works. This was on a small shot, terrible track (no limits in Morocco IN) and 2,800 da. I will keep getting the bugs worked out.

That 10.60 et was not launching with the spray. Everytime I try to bring the spray on to help the launch I haze the tires. Anybody have any thoughts or recommendations on how to set up my suspension and how fast to bring in the progressive?

Changing things up a little bit some new shoes and a slush box.
Weld RTS with 295 Et Street Radials to go along with my new 4L80 transmission. Doctors say I should stop shifting a manual since I keep re-injuring my rib that's broke loose on the right side. Decided to stick with an overdrive and picked up a fully built 4L80 with a Precision Industries 3 disc billet converter and sfi flywheel.

It's a precision industries 3500 9.5 vigilante 3 billet disk lock up turbo converter. Not ideal for my nitrous but that's being removed in a month or two. The car would have been on the road again but my driveshaft company built the driveshaft too short and I have to go back to have him rebuild it.
