Karl, I found the problem with the transmission. The EPC solenoid (force motor) was bad, and it was brand new! I called my buddy that built the trans and he brought one to me this morning. This thing will give you whiplash when it shifts! lol I will be turning it down a little with the software now.
I still need to talk to Craig about tuning a TPI Vette.
Keep me posted if anyone goes to the track, I may drag this tank out there to see what it runs.

 

wish i would have seen this earlier, I just got back from Phenix City track. ran a 7.86 on a crappy 60ft. but the car is quicker/faster so the cam swap was worth it. i can not get the car to hook on the stock suspension anymore, and i still need a set of 1.6 roller rockers. and i think the other night i may have only been on 7 cylinders as i had a loose plug wire at the track lol.

 

That's pretty good Josh!! I guess that means that you have to change the time in your sig now, lol.

 

Hey Josh, nice improvement! A buddy called me tonight and said he saw you there. He told me you were having a hard time getting the car to hook. High
7 second times with no traction is pretty impressive.
I could not have gone to the track today anyway. Even after fixing my trans I had to many other things to do. I talked to Craig today and he said he may go to Reynolds this Saturday. If nothing comes up I may try to go. I really don't care what the truck runs but I am curious to see. I really want to weigh it. I'm sure it weighs 4000lbs without me in it.

 

Hey Tj how's the project coming along? Be glad when i get to start on my beast again lol

 

thanks guys, i am pretty happy with the car for what it is. Not bad for doing the cam swap in a carport. i HOPE that once i get the 1.6s on and my traction issues fixed it should be a mid 7 (1/8th) car. Big thanks to Craig, he has helped me a ton on this car.

 

Well everything for the Z28 is just about ready. As for the other project, well, that's still in the works, but it should be wrapped up soon. Too bad I'm leaving in March. There's so much stuff I need to get done, but I guess that it will just have to wait until I return.

Let me know when you're ready to work on your Trans Am. It should a beast when your done. Me and Ray will help you finish it up and get it back on the road. Maybe before I leave we can both make some noise!!

 

Awesome. I was thinking about coming out until I asked my wife if we had the cash and this was here reply . So you know what that meant. Are you up for going to reynolds this saturday?

 

i would love to hit up reynolds, but i'm sure i'm going to get the response as well. if i have the cash though count me in.

 

Anyone seen a black ZR1 and silver new Skyline around town (same owner)?

 

Anyone got a 4l60E laying around that you want to get rid of? I'm looking to see what I can round up.

 

Karl, Scott said that the body work didn't look bad so all I'm waiting on is a quote.

 

Yeah, that ZR1 is my other car.

























Yeah right I wish, lol!! Are you talking about a newer ZR1? If so, I haven't seen any around here. Matter of fact, the only time I've seen one of the new ones is when I was up a Vengeance Racing the other month.

I've seen the silver R35 driving around though. That dude is at the strip mall everyday. There is also a red one in town that looks pretty bad.

 

How soon do you need one? I may know where a couple of them are that I could get a hold of......

 

thats good news sheik. you need to get that beast down here man!!!

 

Just throwing this out there..............but if anybody knows of a M6 4th gen for sale in this area I might be interested....the more mods the better.

I should be home in a week or so. I'll need it by the end of feb.

 

Grudge Match time.



BigBuick plans to humiliate/eliminate Firehawk238 yet again this weekend.


be there or be square.


TJ, try and bring a camera for once, so you can film the carnage.



Josh, that is some awesome ETs! I ran 7.9@90mph with a 1.95 60ft time, so I know how you feel trying to cut that 60 footer. Sometimes I feel like I could get out and push the car faster to start out, LOL.

 

Anyone going to SDR this weekend?
