This thursday there is another car cruise in at Duffys off of Boyson Rd. Starts at 5.

It was neat to see it in person. It fit like a glove.

Mmm, cams! Night Fury is awesome and I will be making the jump within the next year. I'm indecisive between the NFC or the JRE 480. They are very similar cam grinds from what I can tell.

Thanks for the compliment.

As for the 92, there was no noise and the clutch works fine. It's got to be the keys in the 3-4 synchronizer. I need to decide if i'm going to fix it or wait and do a LS1/t56 swap.

The NF cam is blower friendly as well. I really don't think you can go wrong with either one.

Pulling those T-5 transmissions is a piece of cake. I know cause I did it 3 times in the 86 IROC I had. Quiet possibly the easiest trans pull I have ever done.

Come on. Why did I decide to listen to this.

Might make the wife a deal. Buy the parts one year and install it the next year so I'm not dropping $5000+ all at once. Guess thats not really a deal though.

True, I've had mine out once for the same issue and a new CF/DF clutch. I am at the point with this car I don't want to put any more $$ into stock parts. I want to replace/upgeade anything that is not part of the "final plan". I am going to pull it either way and get an estimate. Ill fix it before it stops me from autoX next year!

Biggest goal for the weekend-shatter the top 20 for my mods in Auto-number 2 in 1/8. Need to run it out and crush the 1/4. Hope to drop 0.2s. If the weather was as good as the number one spot (-600DA)- I could break the next lower second -kickin many running converters.
I'm real excited , the car feels so strong. Its amazing how a well oil machine can out perform a higher hp car. If I dont, may try once more before snow.

Todd
-hope to hear about your ancient chineese secret car work -hehe, when I get back.

Ill try to relay during the show, but signal normally bad.
Should be live on Lsxtv-car 803

Good luck Tim!

Lol, I watched that one too. That sounds like a good deal to me. But then again I am single.

I really like Ames. Welcome! I believe there's a group that meets for events and food.

Update:
Just reviewed the log-hit rev limiter on 3-4 shift and shut throttle plate,
sooooo - there's more in it ( and DA wasn't even spectacular at 1600).

I could see breaking into 11s.

May get another chance tommorrow morning.

Nice Tim!!! That would be awesome to get down to the 11s.
