It may make it look faster, but it still needs that driver mod to be any good.

I was expecting it back. If Mike didn't give ****, I would think something is wrong.

My car would actually be running and drivable if a certain black Camaro hadn't taken up residence in my garage..... I was contemplating filing for a lost title it had been there so long.

Atleast I won't be the one making excuses that I missed a shift.

How much power is your car going to be putting down Mike? You and Bobby might be the only ones in Oregon who can put up a good run for now. I have a dry shot Im buying from a friend for $150 and I am getting tires soon.

I think with my setup I'd be lucky to run 11.5 in the low 120's. We'll see, I'm having a very hard time getting used to getting into 3rd gear in the cobra. I have to admit I'm loving the cable clutch, one thing I do not miss is that hydraulic setup.

I don't think you'd have too much trouble with me NA, let alone with a 150 shot.

Haha,,, I think you had other priorities rather then getting your fbody running,,,, like a race engine for your bike. ?

I've said it many times already, but let me know when you want a hand getting that stroker motor back together for the green car. I would like to see you mash the gas and steer it down the track again someday... LOL..... I can't give you too much ****. I might need a trailer ride home from the track this season if I don't get the 9" installed before then.

Yes! Should be very fun. I'm looking forward to some warm weather cruising/racing.

Eric right? Not sure yet on the numbers. Just depends wether this cam likes the L92 heads or not. The cam was designed for cathedral port heads. These L92's have rectangular ports and are a bit more picky about cam choice. The little bit that I did get to drive the car, it felt strong but..... ?

poncho - I wouldn't under estimate some of these LTx cars. Before pulling the engine, my car ran 11.9x to 12.0x with stock heads.

Bobby - FWIW - you can not go quicker than 11.50 without a roll bar or you will be booted from the track. They had to boot a vette last year. They gave him a warning, so he ran with traction control on and it worked and then he decided that he didn't think they would boot him. Besides the guy was a bit of an A$$. He never did listen to track personel and always did what he wanted to do because he thought he was all that.

Mike - I know you will help when the time comes. And yes the trailer will most likely be available for you broken car.

Thats the reason my goal is 11.5 I don't see myself putting a roll bar in the cobra. If I need to do that I'd buy a vette.

Actually, your car and mine should be very close motor to motor.

Bobby and Cody are both wildcards,,,, haha. Bobby might not even have that Ford by the time spring is here and who knows what Cody might have up his sleeve. Elliots car with a 75-100 shot would be right there too.

Should be an interesting year for this area.
