I remember the old shortbelt mod.Nothing like changing your belt at the track to gain a .10th of a second

Traded the 93 in for an LS1.

Anyone need an airfoil for cheap? It won't fit the new ride.

TR5 vs TR55 son!

Actually about a year ago mom got on a cleaning spree with the help of Matt and I in her garage. I think we found 2x Dremeled MAF housings LOL!

I had the Pabon built Y-Pipe on my car until I sold it.

The Fernco got me laughing because when we put the fogger on Mike and Nick had a piece silicone piece that went there. Well last final put together we had just swapped a few pieces out and I couldn't find the silicone so at like 2am Zac managed to get the stock accordion to fit over the FAST 90MM TB and SLP Airlid (larger than the older style lids, for the new LSx'ers). I think I was the first stock accordion in the 8's! LOL!

I did the TB bypass using left over fittings and hoses from my B&M Trans Cooler, the must have mod before I bought my Vigi 3200.

Curious how the drivability is on a B1 cam? I'm afraid it may be too large for a stock displacement LS1.
