Hey it was nice meeting some new people at the track Sat. night. I made a few motor runs but was off my normal times by .2 or so. Ran 12.80 on motor. Got my one hero pass in at the end of the night. 11.42 @120 w/ 1.66 60'. That was on a 100 shot. I think its got more in it cause I kinda rolled into the throttle off the line. My nitrous is setup with a WOT switch so it isn't on unless you're at WOT. Also I don't think I purged it long enough.
Anyway, found a nice shop here in Tualatin that does race chassis. They'll be buildin me a rollbar probably this winter. I think they can handle it, they do Top Alcohol and Top Fueler chassis. Pretty cheap too.
Mike good job, sounds like our tie strap fix worked. Everyone else, nice cars and did I notice that we all had TDs...sweet. Hope to go racin with you guys again sometime soon....Just noticed that both of my PRs are out of date, have to change that soon.

Cool deal on the rollbar. Have you decided on the swingout door bars?
I'm headed out there again this coming Friday if it's not raining. I made some changes to the suspension this week and I have a real good feeling about dropping the ET's some more.

Hey Mike. My bottle pressure sits around 1050psi with the heater on. I don't know what it is down track because the guage is on the bottle and I can't see it without being a contortionist. I'm pretty pleased with the run but was hopin for a little more. Just need some more runs to see if thats all its got or if I have an issue.
I'm gonna go with dual swingouts. My girlfriend bitched cause I told her she would have to climb over to ride in my car
. The shop quoted me 1050 for a moly 8 point with 1 swingout. If I'm reading the quote right it would only be another 50 bucks to add another swingout. I haven't decided if I'm gonna paint it, powdercoat it or leave it bare. Decisions, decisions.
Let us know how she runs friday.

Will do on letting you all know how it runs. I'm now having some doubts about the changes I made to the suspension. From what it sounds like, I need some drag shocks in the front to get the car to transfer the weight quicker. The stiff valved Billstiens in the front are killing my weight transfer which is crucial for a M6 car to launch effectively.

I want to keep the springs that are in it now and take the car as far as I can with them. I absolutely HATE the 4x4 look of stock springs. It's a tougher road to follow using lowered springs, but the car will look better doing it lol.... I guess I'm just stubborn that way....

-Better Track Prep (ie: VHT)
-Front Drag Shocks
-Rear Drag Race Sway Bar to keep the car level
-2-step Rev Limiter to dial in the launch RPM
After those first three items are added, it's almost guaranteed to run a high 10 sec 1/4 IMO. The 2-step is more of a "want" than a "needed" item. The car has the power, just need that infamous traction to get there.

Hey guys. To do a cam swap do I have to take off the heads? And if I do is there a way around that, if not then I think I will wait and get some good heads and do it all togethere.
. Mike I bet u get a 11.1 tonight at about 8pm when the sun is gone. And I will be watching u on the PC as well.
good luck

You "can" do a cam swap without pulling the heads, but you risk dropping a lifter into the engine. The rule of thumb used to be, if the engine had less than 40k miles it was a safe bet that the lifter cups would hold the lifters in place without falling out. All you do is pull the timing chain off, pull the rockers off the heads, then rotate the cam a couple times which pushed the lifters up out of the way so you're able to pull the cam out. I think there is another way to hold the lifters up also, using some dowels? Do a search on that and you'll come up with some alternative methods but I've never tried them myself.

Well, no 10 sec slip yet but I did make some good progress with the car. Cody came out and gave me some really good advice and helped line me up in the good spots on the track last night. Thanks buddy! ![Thumb](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/thumb.gif)
The good news is that the tires aren't being hit nearly as violently as they were before. The bad news is that the car really needs some front drag shocks to get the weight transfer it needs. If the car wasn't lowered, it wouldn't be as big of an issue.
Ran a new PB of 11.25 on a 1.71 short time. I did have one 60' time in the 1.68, but that run was aborted after missing 3rd gear.
That might have been an 11.1X ?
Overall it was a good night, didn't break anything, car ran flawlessly and I drove her home afterward.![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)

The car is looking better on launch, but you will get it to improve. Too bad on those missed shifts. With that one good launch I think it would have been around 11.19 or 11.20 pass. The track was terrible. They did a good job with spraying the VHT on, but with all the bald spots, it was hard to find good rubber to launch from. I think your best combination will be 12-13 lbs in the tires and 12 in the bag.
