Looked fun. The host kinda seemed like he'd get annoying over the course of the night though. Did they pay you for being on the show or did you only get paid if you won? I had never seen that "go big" thing before, guess I don't watch it enough lol.

i got $50 bucks but it was actually just cause something that wasnt shown on tv was asked during the show being taped and he said he would give $50 if knew the answer and I knew the answer lol, Yea the GO BIG round was new to this year. I started off doing pretty good, but 1 of the cars lifted at the 1/8th which didnt help and another had C.F. and the guy that won he always had the slowest times

BTW.... you suck!!! I wish I had a lift. The last time I pulled/installed a motor I had to do it on a flat bay with 6 ton truck jackstands.
Good luck with it. Hope to see some numbers soon.

well got something funny when i got to work today, I finished the car up at like 11:30 pm sunday night and left the shop and drove straight to the house, then had to go to work the next morning at the fd @ 0700 so i drove the car straight there, taking in consideration that i was just running straight headers cause the exhaust shop wasnt open in the middle of night lol, so the next morning when i left work cause we work a 24 hr shift i went straight to the exhaust shop and had mufflers put on. Well just so happen that a lady that lives 4 houses down from the station is a attorney and she complained to my chief and also had a official summons from the state of alabama to go to court on a sound violation. Wow what BS O well lol.

Damn that sucks I would go do a huge burnout in front of her house with open headers
Not really but I dont see what any courtroom could actually do without any proof since you now have the exhaust back on the car I could be wrong though

That sucks about the trans. Been there done that. Put the fresh six speed in and wanted to turn my flywheel just to be fresh at the same time as the cam and stuff, when everything was broken in I'll be damned if the clutch didnt start slipping. LOL!!!

It looks AWSOME!!!! I bet it sounds good at cruising speeds too. I may look into something like this. I put the TSP duals on my little brothers car not too long ago and it is WAY to loud for my taste. Thats saying alot since I have LTs, an ORY, GMMG and 4.10s.

this is still pretty loud at WOT but not to bad at cruising and idle.
