What time were you planning on meeting? I have plans that evening, but I should be open till about 4.

cool. I won't make any promises now. It currently has a 5 speed, but we're putting a c4 in it, and it's getting freshened up. Yup... great cars. I want to build a turbo lsx setup eventually, but the sbf with a plate kit will work for now. It's a damn fun car.

lol. Maybe my sarcasm didn't come across very well... the beater I referenced above is a 79 fairmont that run's low 11's on motor and has lost to the ss. I'll see you guys in a couple weeks.

lol. If I'm not in the ss, I'll be in an old beater with a bench seat and column shifter. It sounds rough and shakes a little, so I think it needs a tune up.

I just have a slow minivan on 20's, but I'm game.

Mine might be gone by then, but count me in too.

They might be more likely to show if I stopped hurting their feelings on the street.

sounds good. I think it would be fun to get a party bus next year. $400 for 4 hours, and it'll hold about 25 people. Bring a few coolers and let them drive us around to a couple bars. Based on previous experience, they let you bring almost anything or anyone on the bus. lol

ahh.. I'll have to check that place out.

That's impressive. Those light wheels/tires really help.

What was the 60' on that pass?

BlackBear tune PTC 3600 4.56 gear e-fans ud pulley 275/50-17 M&H drag radial I lifted early because there tend to be alot of cops in that area, and I wasn't about to make a full pass through there.

That's good to hear. I'm really excited to get them. I can't wait. I've already pulled a bit of weight. Mine weighs 4440, with me, full interior, and 1/4 tank. The silver truck was skinnies. We have similar setups. I think his is faster, but he thinks mine is. lol Every time we try to race, a cop rolls by, so we don't really know. I asked to race scott's bolt on truck that night, but the guy driving it had an early flight and wanted to get back to the hotel. It was cool meeting everyone though.

Scott's actually the one that convinced me to get them. lol I've seen the big debates on them, and I even had my doubts. I'm currently running a set of stock manifolds that I ported. I met him at the nats, here in kc a couple weeks ago. WE talked alot about how everyone doubts the times, and how funny it is that a few of us are very close to the record. He has the ported intake, but didn't speak highly of it, in person. It also sounds a little weird to me that the gains on the ported intake were so different. 7 hp vs 23 hp. That's a huge difference. My 12.8 pass was in 2800 DA, so I'm waiting for one of these nice days this fall, to put it on kill and go for the record. I think I'll be pretty close. I have a few vids of scott running on the street, when he was here. Just check out my other vids, when you're able to watch them.

That was with the 275/40-20 Nitto dr's. The rsa's are the absolute worst tire I've ever had. I have a PTC 3600. My previous best was a 12.82 @ 104.7 Last weekend, Justin came to town to dial in my tune, and I think it picked up quite a bit. I also have headers on the way. It should go low 12's next time out.

that's pretty sad about the dealer. I love having people tell me all about these trucks. My favorite is that all of them are awd, and that's why I launch so hard. Ive yet to find my transfer case. lol I get similar reactions, when I launch mine. I went 1.70 on the 20" nitto's. The DA has been insane lately, so I've only gone 1.70's on the new 17's, but it should go low 1.6's on the current tune.

I was just playing with the guy. The actual conversation was pretty funny, and went something like this... You wanna go on green? Nah... it's just a suv. That's a ss trailblazer. Why you gotta play? They put ls1's in em. I really don't like to race it, but ok.

I was out cruising last weekend, minding my own business, waiting at a stoplight. A guy in a ls1 T/A pulled up and asked to race. I declined, and said that it was only a suv; but he insisted. I rolled into the throttle, and put a couple cars on him, up to about 70, when I shutdown. There was no need to go further. I thought I proved my point. I was wrong. lol He came back for more, and asked to go again at the next light. The exact same thing happened again. Then, the road opened up to 3 lanes, so 2BFAST pulled up in the right lane, for a 3 wide showdown. This was only about 1/8 mile. I knew his awd would leave pretty well, so I tried too hard and it spun pretty bad on this one. I wish we would have gotten vid of the SSS, at the launch, instead of the t/a. Here are the vids of the first and last race...

The garage is monitored with guards on segways and golf carts, as well as cameras. I always drive to the bottom and put mine in the corner. I refuse to park next to anyone, especially in that environment. I completely understand your concern. That being said, I've never heard of anyone getting broken into down there, and I'm there damn near every weekend.

So were you guys planning on spending all day at the show? If anyone wants to go out that night and check out some bars in the Power & Light district, let me know. There's a great band playing in the open area, and they're having a cinco de mayo celebration, so you can pay $30 and drink for free from 9-midnight, in 11 of the bars. Purchase the $30 tickets HERE.

I've got at least one more minivan coming along, and a couple other maybes.

I'm gonna laugh when you go asking around for the secretary and she turns out to be some fatass, with funnel cake in one hand and cotton candy in the other.

I'll try to stop by for a while.

I finally got the arrangement worked out for dyno time! They're giving us a hell of a deal, so I hope everyone takes advantage of it. 3 pulls 2wd... $35 awd... $55 wideband $5 The dyno is a Dynojet 424x. The event will be held at Modified by KC, located at 6138 Merriam Drive, Merriam, KS, 66203. I can't wait!

I'm not sure on a deadline. Maybe Jenna can chime in on that one. With as many that expressed interest, I'd get in asap though. You are correct on the $150.
