yeah 2k1bird is right we both went 8.2 1/8th at 87 and the cobra went 12.6 at 111.96 and i went 12.8 at 111.04. It was a close race. If i had tires i would get him for sure. My tires i got ordered should be in by wed. and then the other item i ordered should be in by then too! The cobra wont stand a chance. The cobra has larger injectors, throttle body, CAI, No cats Borla Exhaust, different pulleys, tensioner pulley (boost 14lbs). So i dont think that was to bad of a run it was close though.

Vann did you find out how much $ on the hp? How is it coming with the civic? Im off tomorrow and wednesday need any help let me know because i will probably be sitting at home bored.

I have a feeling that when someone gets some drag radials on a set of black Z06 wheels, I may have them on my car for a pass or two I think one good pass with the trans-am might warrant me forgetting about a certain someone scratching my car 2 hours after I got it out of the bodyshop...the second time Just messin with ya Gibson.

Only problem I see is that we wouldn't have any wheels to put back on the vette until we swapped them back...Aren't the rotors too big on the rear of the vette to fit a 16" wheel?

I didnt blow the 1st one. I bought it that way and it was due to toyotas TQ ratings on the head bolts being extremely low.

This time I do beleive its from over boosting.

I can... Ive got a head swap on a TA to do friday night, so I should finish it up in time on sat to get down there. My dad will be there in his 67 mach 1 so I should be there.

I dont think I broke a rear, I think my adjustable pan hard bar came loose or something because the rear is pushed towards the drivers side about 1in. Maybe a little adjusting and Ill be back in business.

i like the way the new DR hook, the car feels like it pulls great now especially in second. It use to want to get sideways in second now it just gets down and goes.
