Good to see Georgec's old gray pickup getting some use! Orlando wasn't hooking? Bummer, the air yesterday made me wish I went to Bradenton Super Chevy, a few people I talked to said it was bitter cold but the cars were flying in that air!

Yea, it's going to be getting more and more track time. The old truck is also slowly going on a diet too.
Ran a 12.3 @ 107mph with low bottle pressure putting a holeshot on a new Z06. That was a beautiful car!
Also ran a 12.51 spinning (imagine that) at 109.5mph with better (900psi) pressure. Time to wire up the heater.
My NX kit will give more rewards when I can get 1k psi of course. Too bad we couldn't get the tailwind like we did last week in Gville..

The rotating assembly in that engine used to be owned by me at one time. I was planning to use it for my next 350 set-up but went the stroker route instead.

You coming back over to Gainesville this Saturday?

Yea, I'm thinking on going the stroker route myself and have it handy as a spare. Don't get me wrong though, I have all the nitrous safety features on this one and plan on making it last. Just running a 100 shot for now.
Yea, I'll definately be there Saturday but not sure about Kyle. Looks like Lance needs some pursuasion too. You planning on going?

I'm probably going to show up at Gainesville on Saturday but, not in the Silvy. The new MAF wont arrive until next week and it's pointless to run all-motor until I get a stall in there.
My Dad's software for the Z' should arrive here shortly and I'll be working on the tune. I think he'll want to run it and see if he's gained any ET/MPH.

However, if he decides he doesn't want to run... He'll be working on my transmission.

I just saw a high of 68* in the paper for Saturday.
I'll also be at the dyno, thanks to over night parts from Japan.

Hoping I can borrow a MAF for the event...
Trying to bend some more wires.

Pops was cool with me taking it off his truck until he saw me trying to knock out the MAF screen. LOL... Busted.
