  1. Something doesn't add up. I supposed 12.6's is possible with a 103 trap speed, but with such little mods on an LT1 with a stock rear end (I'm assuming), I highly doubt it. Here is why: My LS1 went 12.5's @ 111.60 with a 1.89 short time with just a lid and drag radials. I don't see an LT1 running nearly that quick, yet trapping 8 MPH slower. Maybe 13.6 is more like it. graemlins/wtf.gif I don't see it being anywhere near the 11's with those new mods either, unless he's got a huge stall, heads, and some other mods he's not mentioned. I know a guy with a heads/cam LT1 that ran 12.2's. With a 12 bolt rear and 4.10's, I believe. And Nitrousbird's Formula has run 11's; heads/cam with a big shot of the giggle. So a few things aren't adding up here... smile.gif
  2. Where did you see it? Trevor (can't remember his name on here) has got a 1999 30th Anniversary Trans Am. It might have been him. Pretty bad ass car, but it's slow as hell...
  3. I'll just take the headers. Send me a PM and we'll figure out when I can come over and get them... smile.gif

    Greetings

    Welcome. smile.gif I dig those Bonnie SSEi's. I've been wanting one for a daily driver for a few years now, but I just can't justify spending the money on one. Nice car though... graemlins/thumb.gif
  5. Don't need the interior parts, my interior is in great shape. Is this a good shifter? I was told to get the Tri-Ax, but if you're not asking much for a used shifter and it's decent, it's got to be better than the stock one. graemlins/thumb.gif If you part out the '86, I might need a few things here and there. Let me know about the shifter... smile.gif
  6. I'm assuming they are shorties? Are they in good shape, anything wrong with them?
  7. Are these still for sale? Are the equal length?
  8. Thanks for the advice, I had heard from what I thought was a reliable source that they had repaved everything. Guess I won't be going there anytime soon then...
  9. I heard they paved that track and fixed it all up. Is that true? Is it much better than it was last year? I might come out Friday with the Formula if the weather is nice and the track is fixed... smile.gif
  10. Yes, they are all assholes. Just like those white trash Mustang drivers and redneck F-Body guys... graemlins/thumb.gif

    Nitto 555's

    Are those the drag radials or the regular tires?
  12. Actually, that's not that big a deal. That's about what you get out of a good heads/cam LS1/LS6. Don't forget, those numbers are flywheel, not at the rear wheels. Regardless, it's not too terribly difficult to get those kind of numbers out of a heads/cam 4th Gen F-Body or Y-Body... graemlins/thumb.gif

    job question

    Yeah, no offense, but my brother went through this same sort of thing. In college, he dressed all grunge, lots of piercings, etc.. When he graduated and started interviewing, he cleaned right up. He had to. After seeing some of the other people he was up against and not getting a second interview or a job, he had to change his appearance. Very few places will take you seriously as a professional when you look like that. My brother doesn't look anything like he used to, he had to get cleaned up, otherwise he'd still be working fast food. Be it right or wrong, you have to decide what is more important to you. smile.gif That's why when I see kids (or young adults) with lots of peircings, they dress down, etc., I think to myself: Have fun, look like that and enjoy it while you are young. Because if you to become a professional in a normal workplace at some point in your life, you can't look like that... graemlins/thumb.gif
  14. Bill (President of COFBA) will be mailing your checks back to you soon. They were not cashed... smile.gif
  15. No offense, but don't expect any truthful responses to your question. Body kits and other similar modifications are generally not accepted on CR... graemlins/thumb.gif

  17. I ran one once. It was ugly... tongue.gif
  18. People don't buy an NSX to take it drag racing. graemlins/wtf.gif It's great for road course, etc.... smile.gif

    Has nothing to do with the hood, it's nearly non-functional, unless you punch out the baffles and seal it to the airbox. Which I have done now, of course. I'm guessing your problem might be a short between the steering wheel and the seat... tongue.gif

    Excellent comparison. Mine ran nearly that identical ET/MPH when it was 100% stock, nothing done to it at all. Hell, I ran a 12.585 @111.60 with just a lid and Nittos at Norwalk...

    What gears? Autos are typically slower than the 6 speeds, without a stall, of course. The Flowmaster catback isn't gonna do much for you in terms of performance, it's more for sound. If you've got a 3.23 geared car and can drive, I'd say you'd run around 13.5 @ 104. If it's a 2.73 geared car, I'd say 13.7 @ 102. smile.gif Get yourself a lid, some sticky tires, and you'd be much closer to the 12's... graemlins/thumb.gif
  22. Yes, it was. Not enough people signing up. And COFBA is not footing the rest of the bill. We'll try for this another time with more of a notice... smile.gif
