Very nice car and welcome! It looked like it definitely got with it at the shootout! Look forward to seeing it out again sometime.

Thanks, I have a lot of respect for you guys with the newer stuff. They sure get with the program. I almost went with the twin turbo LS thing before I bought my big block. I am too hung up on cubes I guess.

its nice to see something different. I swapped my ls in around 7 years ago and it was somewhat unique back then. but nowadays everybody and their brother does it. your car looks and sounds mean, didn't know if it was going to pop off an 8 second pass the first time we lined up.

I don't know about the 8 second thing. (i would like to) but man it would be cool to HAVE to buy a parachute. lol Poke into overdrive and take it over 200:hail:

I was thinking within the next 5 years about an F2. 5 to 6 psi should put it over 1000 hp easy.

I got tired of not being able to see peoples pictures. I didnt even know about this forum until you told me to check it out. Yeah I need to get the gas tanks back on that old harley and get it moved to my other garage so I have some room. I have a week off coming up so hopefully I can get my Cadillac, truck and harley all taken care of so I can get after it. Keep up the good work on my old car, its come a really long ways since I was driving it. 1449

I loved that Camaro. I was really hoping to see that vs. the honda in the final round to really mix things up. I kept telling people you said it was N/A and no one believed me haha

I was told it would never hit 135. I guess they were right at 134.48
