Sure thing. I'm far from an expert, I've just read a lot and took it slow! Main
thing I recommend is to get a wide band if you can, it makes fuel tuning so
much more accurate, not to mention safer.

Just got my car lowered with Gibson's help. Looks great and it should look better when I drive it and the suspension settles.
Im still here, Just been busy at work and building my new track to visit all the normal forums. Whats this inside story you speak of?

Its kinda weird (but nice to know) that I dont have a LS1 to work on daily. And no gibsons pile of junk doesnt count.

I'm down. Gonna buy a new battery for the trans-am and get it going Thursday or Friday.

Firefightergib - wheelstand or bust...I wanna be able to take pics of that nice suspension setup from the stands. I vote for a 6500 clutch dump

You have street tires on your car?

Stalled autos don't like roll racing haha. You make about 10hp more than he does I believe.

Yeah...Riken Raptors for the tires. Roll racing is all I got at the moment unitl Jared lets me borrow those MT. Launching the car on street tires is pointless as I have tried lol.

Anyone else notice the threads about all of the moderators here stepping down in the racer's lounge? Seems like ls1tech is falling apart. The list of sponsors has gotten a little smaller too. Forum apparently traded hands to a company ------------>

Heading to wash the car and get ready to go to Baileyton in a little while. Anyone besides firefightergib and i going?

If you go to Steele bring slicks. You won't have to wait in line and you'll get a lot more runs in.

If youre talking about firefightergib, he and I both usually go to steele. He gets over on the side of the staging lanes anyway (and with slicks they'll move that damn barrel out of the way).

Well, maybe on the spray Gibson's car will wheelstand...it's pretty impressive when it hooks. ^^^ He's looking mad like that b/c he knows when I show up, something will go wrong with his car, like a nitrous line almost burning the car down when it arcs off the battery and k-member - or the car won't idle, either/or.

Can't wait to see that thing leave on the 150 shot. It's easily a 10 second car. Looks like 9's are next.
