Default Anyone around Wetumpka, Prattville, Montgomery??

Just trying to see who is around.

I don't have a f-body but I do drive a LSx powered Sonoma.

I get out to MMP every chance I get. I haven't had my new engine on the track yet. I hope to be around 114mph to better my 109mph on the old motor. Anyone here frequent the track?

I'm from Selma.....been stationed in Nebraska for almost 10 years but I do go home a few times out of the year. Should have my Goat down there in may.

My dad has a light blue 00 Vette, he just called me asking if there was a dyno in the montgomery area, anyone know of one? Mustang or Dynojet? The old man needs to get his vette on a dynojet, I think the mustang would hurt his feelings.

There used to be a dyno but the place has been closed for a while I think. I heard they will still do a few pulls if you know the guy.

I had a MS3 that I was going to put in the 6.0, sold it and went custom grind with the PRC 2.5 heads milled down. What head and cam set-up are you looking for?

Right now I'm not sure I have HP Tuners but dont know sh@# about tuning. I have made it streetable but it still has some problem that I need to get worked out. Its tuned enough to take out a new Yukon that tried to race me but that all it could take out.

I'm going up to Trussville to get the truck tuned. I have HPTuners also but I would like to get the WOT right by someone who knows what they are doing. I will work on the streetability myself. I also what to spray a 100 shot on the dyno to make sure my fuel pump is up to standard.

Oh and you thought I had traction issues before...

Yeah thats why I'm leaving mine alone right now. I want some1 that really knows what they are doing to get it running right. I have talked to a guy up near b-ham that said he can tune it I might give him a call tom and see if I can get it done in a week or two. I just hope the 10 bolt will hold up for alittle while with that stall

And sounds like you are going to have one hell of a truck.
