Hopefully we can do it again before my paxton kit goes in , shout to Rick for agreeing to come and race i tip my hat to you sir . thank you

Close runs are the best! Had a great time & it was cool how close all our cars were. Appreciate comments sir. Really glad I met you guys. Now time to step up to Carlos' world. Y'all gonna make me spray or something. Lol.

Fuel. Shorter tire height. Just off the top of my head.

buster needs a cold air scoop and crank pulley too.

Nice runs! I should have my Camaro back in the area in Feb, might have to meet up with you guys, looks like fun!

Yalls comments are ridiculous - All 'x' needs is more hours in labor and thousands of dollars in mods and it will easily beat 'y'!.. No ****!

lol.....I'm not sure if it's him or the car. But either way it's flopping around like a fish outta water on the shifts.

My guess is it's the car and driver is to dumb to analyze and fix it.

some mods are more effective it's why most bros go boosted because they double power for price of bolt ons. Lol

Ir it's because they simply cant keep up when you only use the engine to make power.

It's ok you can blame it all on me. The front end does jump around. That's 17 year old shocks & springs for ya with some hp. Still rides great though.

I've thought about things. Hey that's stock for ya. Nothing is broken lol.

Time to swap in some Konis and Springs. I really liked the BMR springs I had on my Formula or Stranos.

It would def help with keeping the car down & look better. But even with the stock ride height there are places I know to stay away from. If lowered I bet the headers/exhaust would start to get dents from contact. If I see a lowered f-body I always look under car. Usually always see dented headers/exhaust & scrape marks all over. Really don't want that. Trying to keep her nice.

I was lowered on the BMR springs with SE 1 7/8 headers and TSP true duals dumped before the axle I would rarely scrape just takes some time to get the exhaust tucked up nice and neat.
