Default Well shes down.. but coming back a terror..

The silver beast had a heart extraction tonight... Coming back to set some LS1 nitrous records.. We are doing all this in the garage again... It will look more like a race car when its back...

Gotta show America these Texas Boys dont mess around... Hopefully soon have the fastest Stock Suspension Nitrous LS1 and we already have the fastest LT1 and soon we'll have the fastest LS1. All stock suspension cars..

I would like to thank Ben (KingCrapBox), Kyle S. (Kyle's 02 Vette), Chris Erlich, and of course as always my brother. Between all of us and a few others (Mike P., Nick K, Mike W., Jay, and Franco ) I think we will be able to take care of all we need

just curious, but how many nitroused LS1s gotten an 8-second timeslip yet? I know some have run 1/8-miles that were close, but I haven't heard of many full track times yet.

Justin's BlueGoose comes to mind, but thats about it. Who else?

It shouldnt take to long as long as the money situation works the way I am planning it will.

Adding things such as:
3-Gallon Fuel Cell and Fuel System
New Cam
New Springs
New Hood
!ABS
!PowerSteering
!Wiring
Parachute
Wheelie Bars (Possibly)
!ALOT OF WEIGHT!
Vacuum Pump
!Progressive

And lots of other stuff. I'm hoping maybe I can pick up a few new things also for the motor, but I am not sure!!! Maybe even some brakes also!

The 5.85 @ 121 (the cars record) will be smacked down.. Along with ESP and the Blue Gooses 8.9

The biggest reason for the motor coming out was to fix alot of the wiring and stuff I messed up. I did not expect Mike, Nick, and Paul to fix EVERYTHING I rigged up. There was alot of stuff they couldnt do much about and some they didnt even see. So now that I need to be doing stuff right I am going to go back and un-rig alot of stuff!!!

I think Eastside went faster than 8.90, but I'm checking.
