Not bad, just got the new nitrous kit on my car and made a total of 5 passes, then ruptured two more discs in my back, so cut my racing short last summer. So, goal now is to see how far I can push my beater (it does hold the World Record ET for stock longblock ls6/M12 with any power adder).

When's your project going to be ready for racing?

Racing, this thing, probably not for at least 2 years, got a lot of custom work to do.

It is odd that they don't come out during summer and you see them during crappy traffic, probably garaged their Civic or something and that is the winter beater! Ya right!

I was in Newport this weekend, me and the brother and law are coming back from Subway making a quick stop at Safeway and as we pull in, some guy in a late 80's Turbo Lotus is pulling out. That I couldn't understand, there is also some guy with a early 90's Ferarri that drives it during the winter, I almost wonder if they are kit cars, from something like a Fiero, have seen multiple body replacements done. Never once heard the guys get on the gas. I will seriously see them everytime I go there this year to visit family, but when the sun comes out, they will disappear...

On topic! I want to boost my LS1. My biggest fear right now is running into a Terminator Cobra on the street and getting my *** left at the light!

My biggest fear is that if I do see a bad azz Cobra, they will turn their head and pretend they never see the Z06, like they normally do.

Amen brother........I can never find anyone who wants to race. And if I do, its a stupid civic or a beat up pick up truck just trying to get me to make the car get loud.
