I'm gettin a 2-step, WOT shift ignition cut (for consistant shifts), and a set of slicks. Consistant launches, shifts, and super reliable pump gas power (10-11 psi @ ~330-340 whp), should make for consistant mid 12's, and consistancy is what wins in braket racing

LOL!!! I literally lol'd at that 
Tommy Boy is prolly my favorite movie!
Ok, another update. We decided its more work than its worth to try and drop the motor in the top. We spent ~4 hours trying to maneuver the son of a bitch into the engine bay. So we threw the motor in the back of my dads truck, and rolled the balt up onto his trailer. Today after work, we're takin it down to my friends work (he works at a dealership), and we're just gonna use the lift and install the motor from the bottom (the way GM recommends doing it).
NO I WASN'T CALLING FROM A WALKIE TALKIE!!!

I should have been driving it tonight. I took it to my friends work yesterday and we installed the engine. We didn't finish and had to leave it over night. THE PLAN was to finish it today, tow it home, finish plugging in the clips, and start the bitch up. Well, the guy that was helping us with the car, wouldn't answer his phone, and I didn't even get to touch my ******* car today!!! I got all the remaining stuff I needed to 100% finish my car, and I couldn't do ****. So ******* pissed

It wasn't him. It was the guy he works with. The guy said he would help me out today, and he never answered his phone!!! I wasn't expecting my friend to even help today.
