Default Rise and Shine Valintine!!!!!

One of my good friends, a damn good guy too, has been working on getting his car up and running for several months due to lack of funds. The guy is all about LSX's, tought me all that I know really. He has a LME 408 iron block that we have been trying to get running but needed some heads and new headers which is pretty expensive stuff. He finally was able to get some AFR 205 and some kook LT's w/OR X pipe in which was the last thing we need to get up and running. Car is running great and made pretty good numbers, trying to join the 10 sec club. Car previously went 11.2's but head some crappy headers, small cam, and LS6 heads. Anyways, 2 weeks after completion, his tranny went to ****.

After about a couple months of down time, another LSX buddy decided to let him borrow one of his cars (a damn porshe) so my friend could sell his DD and buy his new transmission. I'm telling you, he is that good of a guy that someone would trust him with their $50K car.

Last night we met up with Joe and Amber from T56REBUILD at the track to pick up his new tranny. I tell you guys something, these poeple know their **** about these transmission. We have heard nothing but great things about them and they have been a pleasure to work with.

9am Saturday morning and time for the install. We are going to have this thing up and running tomorrow so I am pretty damn excited for my friend because I know he is pumped.

This a really good kid and if there are anymore major hiccups there will be quite a bit more down time so...............wish us luck!!!

I greatly appreciate it,

J.R.
