I'll be out there if my rotors come in on time. I just got done putting my front calipers back together about 10 minutes ago. All I have left are the rears and the rotors to powder coat. This was my first time taking out the pistons in the calipers and they were a pain in the ***. Note to self... pay someone next time.

I am still around.

I havent been out at the meets in awhile. I have been working on my car a little bit.

I finally came around to installing the GT40 this past Saturday. So everything i ordered is in, except for my new wideband. I need to install that and tune it. I plan on having it ready to run this weekend.

But i think this Saturday i will be going to that car show in Bedford. I want to see some *******. There is suppose to be a wet t-shirt contest and some other goodies.

But if it isn't any good i will head out there.

What year is the car Milli? Last I heard Hooker didnt make a header that was a true correct placement of all the emmission stuff but they are still a great header. I know the air tube placement wasnt correct but was nothing that swapping some air tubes from another year model couldnt fix or bending yours some...

If you did want the converter, in your case and for driveability id go with a Super Stock 4000. Its a little tighter for your driving around town. If you want to be a serious contender at the track then id go with the Thruster Pro Series 4000.

he's an 02.....i just clicked on the # that said 00-02 Camaro/Firebird but you always know what you're doing so i know you'd make it work!!!
i might get some headers from a friend.....i don't know what kind they are but i'll ask him........

shoot i'd LOVE to be a serious contender at the track, but i'd sure have a lot to learn!!!
