Yeah but it has too many cams in it. You need to throw some of them out you don't need them. You don't have any pushrods either, maybe thats your problem. Get some out of an ls1, I hear they work good

You know we have to poke fun at each other every once in a while. It keeps the excitement going.

Nope just the lil racing with travis and kenny and some other guys. My buddy just sold his 9 sec street stang over here. I heard that a lil something went down in Manchac but the police were on that like white on rice. I'm on a mission to put my car together and get back out there. It really sucks that we don't have any of the big boys racing anymore.

Cops definitely shut things down in Slidell. Nobody even cruises anymore.

Plus I have absolutely NO seat time in this car. I have no idea which way it's going to go

You have your car in your sig at the track..........more seat time than me. I am by no means making excuses.....you know where i live. Come help me change these lifters and i'll run it till the wheels fall off. I still am not familiar with the boost controller, but i know it made 29 lbs of boost. I'm not sure how much boost it will make on the brake. No idea if the damn thing will go straight. I tore this car down to an empty shell and rebuilt it from scratch. No idea what this thing is going to do. It needs A LOT of tweeking. BUTTTTTTT, if you're willing to offer some time to change some lifters, i'm down.

Every Sat. night after 8, unless it's raining or the streets are wet. If no one is out, I'm usually back in the garage by 9:30. If someone is out....who knows.
