So i'm dying to get my car to the track. I wanted to go to see what it ran stock, but i've already put the Lid on and so far that's it. If my coolant lines and gaskets come in this week i'll probably put my LS6 intake and ported TB on as well this coming weekend. So I won't be completely stock but I'd still like to run the car. I think I have like a 3 or 4-day the weekend of Apr. 2nd so I'm thinking of going that Friday. this Fri. they have the "NITTO TIRE NMRA PEACH STATE NATIONALS" going on so no dice there. Anybody interested in going next friday?

What drag strip are you referring to, Silver Dollar which is 40 minutes away, or the sorry track in Phenix city? I was planning on going to Silver Dollar next Friday because it is a better track and plus a 1/4 mile oppose to the local track in Phenix city which is 1/8 mile track with horrible track prep on Friday nights due to the street tire cars. But anyway if you are up to going to Silver Dollar then come along otherwise you'll be wasting your time going to Phenix city. I also heard good things about Montgomery but have never been.

Well was home for lunch and figured I say something. Just got of work and planning on going to your storage to pick up the LM1 and drop some boxes off. It's boring around here.

Their track is always prepped well no matter what type of cars are running, but T-n-T or grudge racing is every Friday night with gates opening at 6pm until 11pm. Hopefully I should have my other tire because I just noticed my drag radials are showing the beads when I took them off Saturday.

yeah I'm not sure if i'm going to put my DR's on yet. My funds are a little shorter than I had anticipated so I'm probably going to have to hold off a couple of months on my Moser 12-bolt.....and I can't afford to blow out the stock 10-bolt right now so I'm probably going to hold off on putting the DR's on and just run the tires that are on there now. They suck but atleast i'll keep my rear end...lol

Oh, called mufflex, they don't make a y-pipe for kooks headers. Got ahold of kooks and they make a y with a 4" outlet, they want $495 for it. Looks like it will be awhile before the 97 see's a 4".

That's good to know. I would like to put them on seeings how the tires that are on the car give NO traction whatsoever. And I have read that an A4 is pretty forgiving on the rear end. Maybe I'll slap them on there then and cross my fingers, lol. I'd like to run a low 13 and the DR's would definately help.

I had a good time at Reynolds but the at the end of the runs my converter was locking at 95 mph, so that slow me down some on the big end.
