Yep, people from other places just don't have a clue about the number of high HP cars that are in Texas. One Friday night meet here will have more 1k wheel cars than multiple states have. Of course, I understand. People get tired of the "everything bigger in Texas gig. Thing is, it's true!

Iowa is definitely much more simple compared to Texas and the "scene" out here is non-existent for the most part. Couple shops popping up and trying to revive it a bit but meh...Sad for the land plentiful with E85.
However, the norm of everybody thinking H/C/I LS cars are quick that I seemed to gather 5+ years ago is gone. Now everybody is going turbo LS - even in Iowa. Now granted these are usually only 550-650rwhp cars mostly, definitely nothing compared to Texas guys and other states.
I still enjoy seeing a quick car built right - be it by the owner or a shop.
My best friend and roommate here in the next couple of months has a 402 LS2 Camaro SS with a GT88 (sent off the gt88 to get the internals upgraded and down for a new cam) - now that car is quite the blast and more than I am used to!

Are you running a Nano NOS setup?
Edit: think the F body feels out of place?
Also, glad to hear your lifter noise cruising too. I'm running the same cam and it sounds identical.

LOL, it does make a bit of noise but at 14,000 miles with the cam in place, I do not mind.
As the F-body goes... it made 1200 to the tires and runs 200+ in the standing mile. He is fine. LOL Car is currently getting a new setup.

I figured it was a big HP car, I was just commenting due to the staggering difference in acquisition cost. Looks like a clean f body.
So, how do you think 760 is going to fair at the RR?

I'm really thinking about going w/ a nano setup as my next addition of power. First I need to drive it more! I tore the input shaft out of it last weekend just driving, not even beating on it.

J-rod's rx7 should be the strongest car there if he figured out how to get it to stick!

Yeah, the field has some strong C6Z's, ZR's and Hutto Hammer's NOS 880 wheel C5Z. It'll be fun to watch!

No way, that's all you. Thanks a million again for letting me tag along every night! I'll be sure to tag you when I repost the video on Facebook during primetime tomorrow night or whenever!
Looking forward to dragging you and Jamie down the road next year myself.
