You are a bastard! I want to go snowboarding so bad! But I just paid 700 for a clutch and about the pay 600 to sleeve the motor. My dad has a possible hook up where I am sleeving the engine so I may get a deal. So if I didnt have to pay for all this I would be going snowboarding more and more! Maybe go up there and show you how to!

Next week should be very very good for both of us. Now that my HPT works flawlessly we can get the most power out of your car!

I do! We can do it now just to see how it goes...but, just wait until I get my tune right, hopefully next week, and then it will be even more fun :-)

On another note, we should plan on getting as many people together as we can for firebird either next week or the week after for friday night drags. Thoughts?

Richie I would say take my car out there, then again, I want to be the 1st one to hit the strip with it when I get back. I am interested to see what the new bolt ons have done to my trap speed.

I'm excited hopefully she will drive herself soon

I would only drive the car at the track with you there. I don't like abusing others car without them around. I'm hoping you will trap pass 115mph when all done.

You should be able to. Stage 2 sc's can do 13's with the right launch.

You can abuse it a little when dialing the tune in, make sure you get a log of a 3rd gear pull from 50-115. Those can be fun, or a 20-70 2nd gear pull. I heard vince has some new tables out you need to test on my car too.
