Good plan. I am 21 now, just be turning 22 when I graduate. My fiance(spelling) graduates this may and I am next may. I want a z06 by time I am 26 lol. Thats the plan anyway. She has no payments and dont have to pay much for school and is buying a 2010 Camaro SS for her graduation. Good luck anyway. Stick with it, its tough thats for sure.

Hahah. Good to see your happy with the tune.

 

i don't know because i have not done it, but nursing school must be a bitch. i did go to
school to become an EMT (while working full-time) that was a bitch. took 6 mos.
probably one of the hardest things i ever did. stick with it guys and good luck with
your schooling and careers.

 

Yeah, I am 23 right now, thats why I am looking into the 2yr bach degree, lol. I'm gettin old mang!

Yeah, I have been an EMT since I was 18, tried Paramedic school, and didn't finish that so I could finish school for Fire Science, got my degree in that, and decided not to go into that field, LOL. EMT class was a breeze for me, CNA class was a long nap, and so far everything is pretty easy, so I am sure I got this.

 

Med Serg is the big bitch.

Thanks man. My dad is a firefighter EMT for Perkins

 

Med Surg would be one of my favs. I am a big trauma nut, so thats right down my alley. I hope to be on a helicopter on the side outta college. That would be my ideal, but who knows what the future will hold.

 

you have age on your side. LOL. i took my EMT class when i was 36 years old!
maybe that is why it was so hard!

and yes i am VERY happy with the tune. i keep logging it, he keeps tweaking it.
it keeps getting better! BYT FTW!

 

This is true. I went through class with alot of older people and had a few older guys in my P class that just weren't grasping it. Being young definitely helps though.

 

not making excuses, but like i said i was working 10 hour days at the same time.
it was rough, but i got through it!

 

Yessir! Well ,you did it, so enjoy it. I am letting my license lapse this year since I am in school full time working full time.

 

just did my 40 hour refresher last year so i could keep my license current.
now that was a breeze. you sound pretty damn busy yourself! LOL. good luck
and stay with it. you sound like a smart guy. when the heck do you squeeze in
any time for fun?

 

Yeah, I am pretty busy, but I work weekends full time, and go to school part time at the moment, so I fit my fun in between that. I have different standards of 'fun' compared to other people's ideas, lol.

 

as long as it's between consenting adults, and it's not illegal
you are o.k.

 

Lol... no consent needed... All I do is work on my car and truck in my spare time.

 

that's cool. i find that to be relaxing and a good stress reliever.
(most of the time). i also have a 96 impala ss and a motorcycle.
between them and the balt, something always needs worked on.

 

Yep, I am completely rebuilding a 1990 Dodge Cummins truck right now, that's my baby project right now. It sure is relaxing. Thats pretty much what I do in the free time.

 

The slicks are 8.8 wide? Or are they the 8.5s?

 

They say 8.5 but I will measure.

 

the slicks are 8.5 tread width almost exactly, and a little. over 9 overall wide with 10lbs in em on the floor. But once you put them on and have 12lbs in there you get about 10-10.5 at launch on the ground.

 

Taking from the LSJ/LNF throwdown thread to here.

Miller... definitely use the limiting straps on the front. It will help you plant a bunch more, I think. Also, maybe look into something besides footballs. I know they work pretty well, but they can't be as effective as a true suspension setup. I think this is your street car as well (not sure if its DD?), but you could look at some coilover sleeves from Ground control. They are like $400 or so, and they use Eibach springs. You can get all sorts of different spring rates, which would be awesome, then you can make the front softer, and the rear much harder.

Just food for thought.

 

Yea, I am going to see what happens. I am not putting any more into the car in this form as of yet. Once I start a build it will be complete. Suspension, motor, tranny. BTF has a set up coming out over on the lnfperformance site. forged pistons from wisco and h beam rods good for 800+ it says for about a grand for both. I personally am going to bore it out and maybe stroke it a bit in the future so I am saving all money for that. I am going to look at some of those drag bags tho.

 

Yeah, the LE5 crank will work to stroke, those K1 rods are budget friendly for sure. I'm of a different school, I guess. I always think suspension first, then power. Its always nice to say you put down xxx whp, but when your car squats 5" on a launch, there goes about half your power, ya know.

The D-bags will work well for you, though. The coilover sleeves would be a bit of a PITA, because you can't just swap them out.
