I am really leaning towards the torquer v3, but there are soo many options out there.

If your car is Sebring Silver or pewter, it will run best with a TR224 on a 112LSA.

If it was Monterrey Maroon, Red, or NBM, the 110LSA on the 224 would be a much better selection.

Don't know if he has even taken it to the track. I don't think I have seen your car around. Have you had it very long?

Ask Bubba what Mikes car runs. I'm sure he knows what it runs, half of the **** on that car was on Bubba's SS.

Haven't been in a while. Sold the drag radials last week cause they haven't been on the car in months. I don't even drive the T/A very much anymore. Thinking about selling it so I can do some things to the vette.

There is a maroon one over in Linney Creek. That one and mine are the only C6's in town that I know of.

Nice, I waunted one but the insurance for a 20 yr. old would have been just as much as the note!

Well insurance on a 30 year old with a couple of tickets on record isn't very cheap either. You would really be suprised what the insurance is for a driver with a clean driving record. Another advantage to selling the T/A, lower insurance rates.

I ran the torquer v.3 in my 99 camaro with a set of stage 2 patriot heads with an a4 and pt3800 converter. I only took the car to the 1/8 mile track one time and it was even on regular sumitumo street tires. The car ran a couple 7.50 and 7.60 passes leaving off of an idle because I stalled it up any more it would just blow the tires off. That was also with a fast 78 intake and stock ported throttle body.
