I said its essentially a stock car. Its a 96Z28 with a bone stock LS1/4L60E swap and stock 3.23 rear gear. Still has stock manifolds/cats LS1 Intake and a filter off the Maf. It needs a tune running rich.

Slow car racing is the best IMHO. Everyone knows there slow no butthurtness and just fun times. Plus you don't break as much ****.

All that shows is a ill running vette.

See that works both ways. Now for a trick on you.....turn that thing down where lives longer than a month and try it again.

It's useless to try to explain anything to him. His comprehension is very very low.

For the record, when Stopsign talks about never having seen a stock LS1 go faster than 13.7 he is explaining that it is stupid to go only off of what you have seen in person. He knows that they can be quite a bit quicker than that, but he's never seen it... if he used the same logic as some people here, then he wouldn't believe anyone that said they went quicker.

If I would go to Mustang week it would be in my termi notch. The smooth idling n/a ls6 would hurt to many feelings there .....probably cause a riot.

Friendly runs would be cool. But I like digs.

They do have a dyno queen factor about them. I'm sure mine will too.

BTW....yes turbomach has a spec clutch. Could that be a reason to the broken inputs? Has there been a connection made to that?

Spec clutches have high static pressure, which is hard on drive line parts.

Good thing about not having a **** load of power...my SPEC clutch will hold together. Maybe it is not so bad being slow.

I never liked them much in my camaro. I was mostly wondering about the ford stuff. The notch has a lightened spec in it. That's what it had in it when Nathen got it. Still works so I let it ride.

Whoa whoa. I left the state and you knew I was leaving the state the next day. It's why when I called you and while texting you I said hey man, I am leaving tomorrow can't make it to Columbia. There was no backing out. How about you mention how I pretty much begged you to drive an hour and a half to meet me. Instead of me drive 2 + hours to meet up with you and your boys. Or mention how that same night you opted not to go out at all. Don't try to put me out there like I wanted to back out. You didn't want to drive out there while I was sitting in my hotel in Sumter. You didn't want to drive until the following day or whenever it was when I left the state. We were supposed to meet up at Zmax. It rained out or something. I was willing to meet up at the other drag spot I went to. Never showed up there. I even went to a meet in Charlotte and texted you before going if you were willing to meet up. Nothing. Ended up going to Charlotte instead. Don't put my name out there like I came up with excuses on not showing up. I drive cross country looking for runs so don't put me out there like that.

You asked me if there were cars here that you could run other than my car after you found out what mine ran. You said you would still run me but you knew it would be ugly for you. I told you there is a plenty big scene here and you backed out on coming. End of story

Are you still interested in running me? I'm game if so.

No, no, no, no. Not how it went down brother. Just reread our texts. The first night we started talking, it was May 21st, funny it's almost exactly a year lol. Anyways, on this day you mentioned your Cobra buddy wanting to run, which was fine with me, and I mentioned you would "kill" me from a dig. True, you were on a tire etc etc. No point in arguing that on the street. I said I would agree to a 40. I asked you if you would drive "a little further south" and you said you would ask him and I would get with my dude. After that, I sent you a text saying I am willing to drive an hour and a half. You said you already told your wife you would be staying in. Few more texts of you talking about beating a 2v. lol. May 22nd we were still texting, and you asked when will I be able to come down. I said I'm not going to drive 2 and a half hours to meet up. That would be nearly 5 hours of driving total, and it's in your backyard. I didn't feel it was worth it. You said well let's do it next weekend, and I said I wouldn't be here because I was leaving within the next day or two. After that, the only other text I sent you was on June 1st asking if there's a meet because I was actually willing to drive out to meet up since it was my last day there. You said there was no meet and I went to Charlotte instead and met up with some other people there.

That's what really happened. And unfortunately, the furthest south I am willing to drive right now, will be maryland as the next cross country drive will be headed to Texas with a stop in Louisiana. I will recheck my route to see if it's at all possible though because there's some certain 3.7l V6's I would like to run in VA so we will see. Don't count on it though.
