If you ever get the chance to go to Milwaukee, skip that trip haha. There was absolutely nothing to do there outside of a boat tour and ball game. Miller Park (Brewers stadium) http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/DSCN2063_zps896ae7eb.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/DSCN2062_zps67d59478.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/DSCN2048_zpsa05bec54.jpg Now on to Chicago pictures, the best things we did while there had to be Wrigley Field and the Sears (Willis) Tower. The sky deck was cool as shit, nothing like standing over 1350ft above the ground on a piece of glass. 1.http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/DSCN2148_zpsc44a5057.jpg 2.http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/DSCN2143_zpsedb5d1b2.jpg 3.http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/DSCN2140_zps6bcf7564.jpg 4.http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/DSCN2139_zpsad070783.jpg 5.http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/DSCN2138_zps0fa14a7a.jpg 6.http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/DSCN2137_zpscb449ec4.jpg 7.http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/DSCN2136_zpsa0a8a33d.jpg 8.http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/DSCN2131_zpsdf41814e.jpg 9.http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/DSCN2124_zpsfaf0ec48.jpg 10.http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/DSCN2111_zpsf4e1671a.jpg I'll upload more in a few minutes

Not in Columbus, but the best BBQ I have had in this state is Rudy's in Springfield. I had BBQ while in Texas and it wasn't anything over the top out of this worldly. I hear Missouri has really good BBQ as well, but then again, everyone will claim theirs is the best.

His name is Diego, he's a buddy of mine. He took home some trophy from the car show apparently, while not my style I can respect that it's a pretty clean car.

Yeah, pretty happy with the power the car made. I am picking up a traction bar tomorrow and then ordering some suspension once I get back home from vacation. I really wanna see how low I can get the ET without raising the power level (keep it right around 600hp), just to hopefully extend the life of the transmission which is my weak point.

Thanks Drew, I have been watching some videos of the car that people have posted up and the rear suspension needs some major work. It drops so bad that it unloads the front as well. I am going to pick up some Blox drag coilovers, traction bar, align the car with me in it and corner balance it. Hopefully those changes along drop some time off the short track.

Haha my next car I want is actually a 40's-50's short bed, step side, pickup truck. I just want one on bags that I can go low and slow with. Then again I know you can fit a LSX with big turbo in the engine bays of those haha.

Thanks! I had a really good run in the works against the zerolift 240, but something went wrong right around the 330 mark, check engine light came on and lost all throttle response. I am going to pull the data log and see what the hell went on exactly and hopefully fix the issue. The other runs during the day were just test and tune type passes, just trying to get a feel for the car. I know the pass before I went 10.91, I went 11.3@134 on a 2.0 60ft. We upped the boost a little bit in 1st gear and it cut a 1.7 60. I think with more boost in 1st and second and full blast in 3rd/4th the car will see mid to low 10s. I am trying to find a video of my 10 second pass, so if anyone has one and wants to upload it to youtube for me i would be very greatful.

Thanks, there have been some trying days along the way. Hell just last week I wasn't even going to IFO. My clutch went out on me and a new one cost $1070, I was at the point to where I thought, "damn that is $1070 I can use elsewhere in life". Luckily I have a pretty kick ass wife who shares my passion for cars and totally understands what goes on in my mind, so she basically told me to stop being a bitch, buy a clutch and go race haha.

Man it's been a nearly 3 year struggle trying to get into the 10's. I blew a motor up along the way, I just wanna go 10.5x to be really satisfied with this car. Then who knows maybe ill try going faster or switch to a lighter chassis

I mean the big boys with lots of money in lighter chassis are cutting mid 1.4's these days. In my tank a 1.6 would be pretty solid. 2 years ago I got the car down from an 11.8 to an 11.2 just by learning to drive the car better. I think I can do the same type of thing with this setup. The car makes nearly 750hp, it should trap closer to 150 once I get it all figured out.

It was cutting low to mid 1.7's on Sunday. I feel it has 1.6 60fts in it for sure with some more seat time and tinkering around. The vband clamp that holds the exhaust on came loose and let the exhaust move, hit 3rd gear and blew a chunk out of the hood hahahaha. It's ok though, only paid $100 for the hood and cut holes in it to begin with.

Haha yeah, I wish they had a different offset on the rims. I really don't want to put a 3 piece wide front end on the car, so for now I'll work with what I have. Function over fashion right?

Nothing special but I like it. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/cc7842c1-257f-4587-8129-5de1b7a88dc3_zps76f2f277.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/10250163_698022836926553_8783534751036375149_n_zpscee41213.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/10299089_779850442055936_3138031089440395882_n_zps0e7b9876.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/1514961_779850322055948_1068046554138694399_n_zps21fb748f.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/10269531_779850412055939_2161540774700779969_n_zps37c05ed0.jpg Not from IFO but I like the pic so much I wanted to share it http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/10006924_10152149422602851_929694476380295770_n_zpsb4691c71.jpg

Yeah, it def has 10.5's in it, I think we're going to up the power a little in 2nd gear to hopefully get it to 1/8 quicker. I am just glad to finally have the 10 second monkey off my back. To most it doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but to me and those around me who know what I have gone through to get to this point it is.

Thanks

Did anyone happen to get pics or vids of the racing action? I ran a personal best and have absolutely no videos of it due to the workers at trails being dumb about letting people stand there video taping.

Thanks, yes it has and yup first time. No it was not on full blast, we was hoping to just get the car to go round. Had an even better pass in the works but lost it due to a check engine light coming on and killing power. We're still tinkering around with the boost by gear settings, trying to find it's sweet spots. I've fought with it this long, I will continue battling it until I get it where I want haha.

Thanks and yeah there is. That wasn't even full blast, next goal is 10.5

So this happened yesterday: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/10247336_566731460093688_5811486438306414919_n_zpscd291918.jpg Power was backed down as well, so I know the car has way more in it. I am just glad to finally get the 10 second monkey off my back. 4 years of chasing a dream and it finally happened. The next goal is 10.5 and then from there who knows!

Yeah he's a good dude, I was talking to him right before they announced the winners and you could tell he wanted to win at least 1.

Anthony cleaned up house in the car show haha, 5 individual awards for cars he has worked on and then best group award.

Everyone is going 10's these days haha.

Did this today at Import Faceoff http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/10247336_566731460093688_5811486438306414919_n_zpscd291918.jpg
