Need some pucks ASAP!!! Well, I got the fence done last night! Actually I just need to finish a couple boards that need to be cut to fit..........3 to be exact then its of to the more important project! MY CAR! 
Well I'm going to have it up on jack stands for a while and I don't have any pucks to jack it up. Does anyone know where I can aquire some pucks TODAY?
I would like to start the fuel pump install today. Maybe even finish it today and get working on the intake and nitrous as well. Either way, I need 4 pucks ASAP.
Any help would be awesome!!!
Thanks!

That's the write up I used to make mine Jon. However, I used UHMW (A plastic like material free at work) and only did one thickness. The double decker style and you'll never get a floor jack under your car. Even with a single thickness, I have to drive up onto a 2x6 to get my racing floor jack underneath, and you are lower.
What kind of times did you get the last couple days? Did you run in the CCC? I couldn'r make it cause of car then work.

I don't know why. The car SEEMS to be running fine. I'm flabergasted!!!The car did produce decent times for trapping 116-117 though. I got 12.0-12.3's all day long. I even got a 12.000 but no 11's.
It just floors me that I lost 2-3 mph since I last time I ran her. The only good thing is that I'm learning how to get better 60ft times. My best was 1.73 and my worst was a 1.8X. So that's a big improvement from last time.
Anyway, I did get to run the CCC. My first round I raped my oponent and let off coasting throught the traps at 90mph to an 12.7 ET.
My second run was against some crappy car with a 14.50 dial in. It seemed like for ever against my 12.20 dial in. When the light dropped I did chase him down, but passed him right at the end. I should have let off as I passed him but I stayed into it and cut out with an 12.10 to my 12.20 dial in. Oh well, I learned how to play the game and I was happy for my first bracket appearance. 
What's your work schedule looking like? I may come and visit this week and see how your doing or if you need any help on the car. I also have to bring that router over.
Sorry this "Don't use the pucks use the procedure in the Z06forums.com" should read : If you don't have pucks and you want to personally get your C5 in the air, z06forums has a method that worked good for me. Just make sure to use the wood as described some people just jack on the differential or the crossmember that isn't a nice thing to do to such a nice car

Jon, sounds like you had a good time. Are you sure you were winding her out in each gear? That 1.73 should have put you in the 11's for sure, even with the heat. I was off with my times first time out also, remember, we are driving sticks, not the put it in drive and mash the pedal like the autos, we have to actually know how to drive.
Time wise, if I can get parts Monday, I'll be back in buss soon. I was able to get the half shaft out and currently have the CV joint apart. Met a Friendly Chev parts guy today and will get prefered customer pricing tomorrow for parts I need. Check out my post on driving Rollin Black's car, a beast.

Not too mention the floors are made of balsa wood or something a jack would right through it on the wrong place. hell our F-bodies need them too seems like all F-bodys have the front fendor mounts bent.
For the record Robert I'm not trying to argue but the Z06 method with wood is a fine way to put a vette in the air I had frame rails and could not use pucks. The jack or stands never touched metal and the car felt a whole lot sturdier than on pucks. But that is just my experience in my garage which is all I can suggest. As far as shops go the one time it had to go in I took the rails off and watched them use the pucks. Seriously always watch the shops jack up your **** they treat ever car like a Kia.

Well Robert, I'm glad to hear your car may be done soon. How bad was the problem?
I may just put blocks under the car and call it a day. I need to get this project started and finished if you know what I mean. However I don't want to **** anything up!
I'll be visiting you, calling you, and PMing you for advise and help!
I think I'm going to order some and have them next day mailed so I can get this project under way. I would contemplate the wood blocks, but I don't have the saw to cut the wood.
I'll ask for help soon if I need it!

Jon all I can say is DUH!!!
Weather is every thing. last time I went to the track my car ran pretty much what it had ran in 50* weather and I was happy. Some were confused as to why. Why you may ask? Because EVERYONE else was 3/10th slower that day
