LOL. No, that thing is under wraps, sleeping, and waiting for lung surgery. He may miss the rest of the season and be put on the disabled list.Feeling like a big boy now... with your toy..
I was actually thinking the white one is all that is needed to get the job done. Stock vs stock or bottle vs bottle. Either way, the caddy goes down.
This is LvC after all. Need a little tension.

So what do you guess your PCM tune will knock off that time?
I driven in a bunch of STS and they were pretty strong even off the line (3.71 gears) and really good 30-70. Over that, breathing starts to become an issue.
BTW, Red Lights are for porno districts.
The other guy must have locked up the brakes crossing the line.

I was not driving the DHS, but he was trying a new launch style. Hmm he missed.

i did, i did!!!
just put in my non rotten used oil pan friday, and man i gotta say it was easy as hell......next time i gotta do a starter on a markviii/tbird im droppin the k-member, in one hour i had the old pan in my hands (of course a hoist helps) cleaned the hell out of the k-member (10 years 148k worth of oil changes made a big mess) swapped the oil filter adapter gasket, changed my foggy driver side headlight housing ahhhhhhhhh better, not new but much better. oh and heres some pics of the bottom end, i figured there would be some gunk at 148k but looks like a eng with 10k, sorry camera phone pics
also the thundermark now has 2 markviii rear control arms, and even all the washers so the bushing sleeves dont eat the aluminum, just need to align it

LOL. You know, oil change or whatever. Get those heavy wheels off. I'm fine tuning a new tune, hope to get it perfected by then. The tune I use now will still be fine though if not...good enough to kill a few Marks.

Still debating that. I guess that will depend if the wife is going first, think she is, and if I feel like swapping wheels and doing a oil change. Was thinking about it today, it really needs some exercize. Also it would be fun to start puttin down some times with it to improve.

Hey Jason I am glad you liked the new tunes. From your description over the phone it sounds like the car sure is stronger. I want to see your car rip it up on the track here soon. If you end up going Sunday I still might be in. I miiiiiight take the TurboLS too though I will probably still be on the low boost setting.

There were 400 cars there today.
They let the bikes run twice before the 2nd run of cars. Plus the a-holes that trailer their Novas and crap always get preferential treatment.
Spent 2 hours in line to make 1st run. Chatted it up with the Viper dude from ILL-e-NOY-me. Couple of Stangs near in line also.
10 cars before I ran, TransAm does a burnout and drops oil all over the track. 1/2 hour delay. Then I'm 2 away and some guy breaks halfway down.
I don't think the ricers will be there tomorrow but I would get there as early as possible, especially if it is nice out if you want to get more than 1-2 runs in.
