new guy
turk, im in hillsboro. i can meet anywhere tho, we just have a friends kids bday party to attend till like 530.
agformula, im not sure on the specifics, im kinda just going off what the last owner told me. He said his goal was a good street/strip car, small shot and was hoping to hit high tens. he said it was a solid grind cam and gave me a reason but I cant remember why and dont want to sound stupid. He also said they did some head work, i have no clue how to check for that.. Its a very fast revving motor, but im coming from a stang and dont have any experience in chevy to compare to.. Its a pretty loud engine, rockers/lifters are pretty loud and I lost the tune that was on it when the battery died so im not sure how smooth it is up top now but it still pulls like hell. I was worried about the excessive rocker noise but i got such a good deal on it, i could afford to rebuild if needed.. could you please tell me more tho, i dont know much about cams and dont want to front it for something its not sooo yeah, i would love it if someone could check my shiz out and let me know realistically what could be done to it the way it is.

LOL so your the one that parked next to my beater at the track. Wish i would of saw this earlier cause we could of cruised out to the track. Pm me with your number and we can meet up sometime and bull ****.
thanks guys, its artic white with the top gloss black, front and rear bumpers were replaced and had a poor paint match so it looks more pearl than white in pics.
salvage, i'll shoot you a pm.. thats funny you say that cause i felt like yours made mine look like a beater lol

no, i got my oil changed before i went and they found a small diff leak, not sure where yet but im gonna get together with a couple guys next weekend and see if we can find where its coming from. i wanted to sooo badly tho!
If you don't have any luck figuring it out with them (which I'm sure won't be the case) look into taking it to Paden Driveline out in Portland. The owner Mike is a awesome guy and has been running the shop for over 25+ years. Outstanding service and pricing too. He's done all my gear swaps for me along with a few other members on here.

Congrats on the vette man, I am sure you will be glad when you pull up to a stop light next to someone in a stang and you will say, " you know I used to be that guy preparing to lose" jk but it sounds like you have a nice car. Can't wait to see it run.

hey guys hows it goin. just picked up a 99 vette last month, few mods already done, mostly was a weekend show car so its got lambo doors and a big stereo. as far as engine mods, im just gonna point out the obvious but tell you its stock... custom grind solid cam by synergy in cali, lt headers straight pipe back, everything else is stock, oh and it might have a baby shot on it lol. anyways, im really looking forward to the strip this year, and cant wait to meet some of you so i can get some knowledge on the ls1, i have always owned mustangs, this is my first bowtie.. pics up later sorry.
whos going to pir tonight? mind me and the wifey tagging along? oh and that greatv8 guy i see talking **** to everyone, ummm i have a very heavy wallet and a slow car, wanna put your money where your mouth is? i'll tell you that its my first time at the strip too...

you know what, im not as sedated as these guys. dont start acting like a punk to me too. while im not confident in the condition of my diff tonight, i might make an exception just for you, but dont get your hopes up, the wife might have other plans.. i can respect that you may have a fast car, cool, good for you but your way of talking **** will get you more than a race if you keep with how to speak to people you dont know. i for one love a little trash talk between friends but its seems that you have no friends here and yet you continue to talk ****. talk **** once you have beaten someone we all know and or once you beat someone you said you would. i will run you from a roll anywhere, anytime, any speed, and i wont even bring a bottle but i dont want to dig race till i get my diff leak fixed. im not scared bud, and i wont back down if i say i will beat you. like i said, once i get the diff fixedz its on, until then just try not to say something that will get you put in the er ok? i will be there tonight, lets get off on a better foot when we meet, we could end up being best friends lol. i dont care about who i will and wont beat, i just like fast cars and others who share my interest so if you can put your ego to the side then come over and say hey, im really a nice guy till you **** me off...
i didnt make it out, wifey had a bday party for us to go to, tried to squeeze out early but had no luck. hopefully i get this leak fixed this week and get out there next week.
