Thanks for the link Chris.

Oh and I sent Nick a message. We'll see if they have anything hanging around the shop. I still have a couple groups on FB to try my luck with.

No worries bro. Check out LSX Monsters on Facebook, lots of knowledgeable guys on there if you dont hear back from Nick. Lethal/Vengance/Futral and a few others troll that group lol, someone should be able to hook you up.

so I may get banned from here...I posted this from a buddy (that owns a '13 GT500 that I've put 7/10ths on at the track before the cam swap! LOL)
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=325733
But crap man...I think a ZL1, Z28, GT500 are all a waste of cash when it comes to what is important to me...I care about drag racing and beating around town...my crap is faster for less money...my car stickered for 38...got it for 31...put about 15k in her after buy/sell give/take whatnot. LOL

Thunder Road Raceway in Gilliam, La. is having a test and tune on Saturday from 11-5. I should be able to make that as long as work doesn't call me back out.
