A good friend had a spare that he gave to me. Can't go wrong with free! I don't race it that much. The slicks were me attempting to get my "man card" back at the track because I ran pretty slow my last to time out because I couldn't launch on street tires. 12.3 @ 118.X with a 2.05 60'.

I wanted to just get 1 low 11 second pass and I would have been thrilled. Not sure if I'm ready for a second attempt on the slicks. We'll see!

I started, and drove my car for the first time in roughly 2 years (give or take). I swapped to a cam I have used in the past,..or something close anyways. The car now idles on its own. I still have bugs to work out but, it feels pretty good. Also started a fox body LSX turbo build which will be a dedicated dig/slow roll car. Should be fun. Here's the current status...neither car is finished...the vette will go under a vacuum line revamp soon...

Anywho...









removing the wireing harness sucked





I have motor and turbos for the mustang, modding V bands on truck manifolds this weekend....need to either make motor mounts or fab something up. Anyways,...I have been busy.

since my last post i have done the following:

long tubes, ory, and fm 10 series muffler
chrs1313 ram air setup
ls6 intake manifold
ls6 clutch and oem replacement hydraulics
390 gears

debating what to spend my tax return on. a new engine or a bunch of little supporting **** for this one. prob end up going with a 9", suspension, racetronix hotwire kit, fast 92 and a plate kit. i just want to see 11.9s on motor and 10s on a shot. i'd be happy with that.
