86GT

So I had a little bad luck at kilkare on Saturday and some how blew the engine in the vette. When I needed help getting the car back to grove city Mark gave up part of his Saturday to help out. He loaded up his truck and trailer and drove down to kilkare to pick up the car. Thanks again Mark for hauling my piece of junk home, I greatly appreciate you taking time out of your day to help me out.

Yeah the short block in the vette is f**ked. It smashed a plug on number 7 and is locked up. Tried to turn it over and it didn't move. My luck definatley sucks at kilkare.

I show up here and there but my two brothers live at kil- kare lol. Nice cold october day at the track is always nice.

It looks like paul major's car only alittle faster then it use to be.

Ill be there but without the car this year

That's what I was about to say....did something make its way into the cylinder like a washer or small screw/bolt. Reason I say this bc the same thing happened to me last year, had a small allen headed screw come loose on my fuel rail and I didn't see it fall into the head when I pulled the intake. Made a loud ticking sound and I couldn't turn it over by hand.

Here is the video everyone has been waiting for from this past weekend.

Do you still have this tranny....I was looking into getting my tko600 faceplated but I might be interested in this since its what I want to do anyway

Thanks Mark for the kind words, and Dave it took more like 5hrs to tape it lol. The end result will look killer once the interior is back in the car.

I think the guy who won the 10.5 tire class went 5.05 or something close to that in the final.

Sorry it took so long but here is the video of Mark's 8.79@167.94 at Import Face-off.

The heat definatley made the track a little interesting.

I love this car, this has to be the nicest Renegade car hands down. Its always fun to watch Joel make a pass in this car because it leaves wheels up and is gone everytime:) Sucks I can't get off work, I would like to see him make a few passes.

I would but they are different. mine mounts in the rear and the case is a whole lot different

I actually broke it the next saturday and had to be towed home. i think its harder to push than my 86.

it sucks because i already broke the tranny, output shaft went on my 6th pass. best pass before it broke was 11.96 @120.66

silver, i bought eric's old car.

Seeing these numbers makes me feel good about the power that my z06 made. Only mods are cam, kooks LTs and magna flow catback and it made 436hp 405 tq. This makes me want to put a good set of heads on it:D

this reminded me of what happen to Dan Wilkerson last year where he sheared the studs off both side on his funny car. Its amazing what a violent case of tire shake can do.

Lady was taken by helicopter to a local hospital where she later died, and i would be affraid to take a pro stock down the left lane with the bumps. I think just about everyone made a move around the 1000 ft mark.

I thought it was pretty good.

That episode was funny as hell!!!!

Thanks Mitch, just trying to do my best in representing the supercharged camp

If all goes well at work over the winter i would like to upgrade to a Ysi and crank the boost up. If this happens I would like to go deep into the nines and still be a stick:D Now back to the thread at hand lol.

I would say both combos have their advantages. I like being the underdog so i will stay with my blower. Turbos definatley make good power i'm just more of a blower kind of guy.
