Hey I'm going to the Montgomery Motorsport Park Friday November 5th for some test-n-tune with some of my Dodge buds and a couple of Mustang GTs. Does anyone here go there often? I'm new to the LS1 world. Bought me a 2000 C5 Vette a few months ago. I use to play with 4cyl turbocharged FWD Dodge cars. I am hoping this vette will run low 13s. So far it is bone-stock.

I'm going to order some weld pro magnums, and I think a 15x10 with a 7.5" backspacing works, but I don't want to order them and find out I'm wrong...

Thats what mine are.... I have the Weld RTSs though. I had to grind the rear calipers but they do fit and tuck the 325s pretty nicely I might add.

well went to 43 tonight new best times
1.73 60ft 7.83@88 on motor
7.40@95 on spray (spun all the way through first gear)
second pass 1.60 60ft missed 3rd 7.55@90
third pass left at 4500 and broke the slip yoke on my strange cromoly drive shaft..
i no it would have went at least 30s if it wouldnt have broke.with practice it may go 20s...not bad for a FULL WEIGHT 142k mile ls1 car.
well i went and got it today the yoke was twisted up like a **** int the tail housing.and the advance studs i put in last week twisted pretty bad.looks like ill be gettin arp studs.what is stronger than the spicer slip yoke?i need a stronger one.

Good times 30th. I'm guessing your a bolt on car?

As for me I just got an 8.8 under my car and can't wait to take it up to steele. My last time out I ran an 8.6x @ 88 with a 2.4 60' lmao. I bogged hard with my 3.23's and t56.
