yeah, you sissy.


you've been gone for like a month!

but actually.. i'm talking of drivers around here... everytime i pull up next to one, they won't run. Just stare at my car and back down.


don't think i'll make woodburn on friday.. hoping to do my header install then..
and after that.. go on a short vacation.

it's good to see more oregon people on the forum though.
need to have a gathering eventually.

Welcome to Oregon! I'm in Salem, about a hour south of you. You should try to make it to the dyno on the 13th. I'll be there watching though. My car is not quite 100% ready for the dyno yet.

I also just recently moved to Oregon, I live in Gresham now. Unfortunetly I sold my Camaro before I came here.
I still kept the website up. www.96z28ss.cz28.com the best dyno run on a dynojet chassis dyno was 551 rwhp and 618rwtq with a 125shot of NOS.

I just recently purchased a 1969 Camaro and will be building a twin turbo LS1 with 6 speed for it.
