TexasVortexx: It was fun. I couldn't tell how many were there from ls1tech but I saw a good amount of Lsx cars.
RSI folks.. thanks for taking a look at my car.. they found the 'cricket' in less than a minute. Not sure if David is on here. That noise has been driving me nuts.

Went out there to see the LS1Tech cars run, and decided to take my car down the track, what a blast. I need to learn how to launch, but I was satisfied with the experience. My car is a black SS with solid satin black C5Z's.

i saw you out there, you were behind me in line... i was in a red t/a... i was having trouble launching too but i'm guessing the track was part of the problem from what others have been saying, and i didn't feel like busting my stock 10 bolt haha

Did anyone see my 10.30 pass or get on vid? Considering it was still 90+ degrees, my car was overheating and tune is on the rich side, we were very impressed! The navy blue SS in front of me sounded really good - don't remember what he ran though. We wanted to talk/meet more people but this car is high maintenance - it requires constant attention and monitoring. I wish there were 9's in her somewhere...Had fun, will hit up more 1/4 mile tracks before LSX in October.

Had a good time too and also wish i had more time to talk and see others run, between a trans leak and a low battery i didnt have much extra time. Good to see yall Waco guys again, we need to do it again when it cools off a little.

Hey man, heard we run the same times; We should run one time for fun. Are you on nitrous? I'm all motor 347; crazy...it would be nice to run someone probably battling the same issues I am with a 10-second car. Nice ride. It looks like James Day's car from Houston, the guy that runs 9's now I think.

Sweet! I run 4.56s too. We're running a 4L60E. We mostly run at Kennedale and Ennis; Crandall needs to work out their top-end issues before I go back there. You going to the 4th LSX Shootout in St. Louis in October? You should go - it's a great time. I will need more 1/4 mile tracks to test on before the big day - it's our 4th time to go and run the Index Class. Any good tracks around your area?

I believe race weight is about 3150 now, mph is 131.xx. The motor doesnt like over 7k with the stock L76 intake and with the turbo 350 trans it is laying down in the 1/4, really need a gear change. I usually run Redline being its only about 2 miles from me but also have run Kennedale and Crandall, 1/8th mile times usually around the mid to upper 6.30s at 107.xx in decent air. Ive never been to the LSX shootout but would love to go, ive heard it was a good time.
