got a 13.8 out of it the track prep really sucked i think whatever it was that went out was hurting me cause my 60ft was better than my 13.7 run when i hit a 2.225 ...... on that run got a 2.135 (not bad for the 4th time to run a 6speed down the track) but lost 1 tenth and 2mph in the quarter i was so pissed ..... althought it was warmer outside this time than it was when i raced the other time by about 20 degrees it felt like prolly more like 10 or so ..... cant wait until fall should be able to get some better numbers since ill have the cam in by then....... i was able to limp it 75 miles back to my house from the track without any major problems so i dont think it was anything major ill find out tomorrow though and post up if i can make it or not

Was it just the gears that took a **** on you or what? I have a set of 3.73's sitting in the shop. I dont know how much the rear end changed between the LT1 and LS1, but if they'll help you out, I'll make you a deal on them.

I think the Galveston run was pretty successful. We had a total of 19 rides, 20 if you count the yellow Mustang that showed up and joined in once we were on the island.
I'm in the process of getting the pics up right now and I'll be working on putting a video together.
Was nice to meet all you guys, maybe next time there wont be so much traffic on 45 and we can have a little more fun.
