You ever noticed how fast a vehicle feels after you clean/wax it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Nothing on the moola yet. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I bought my wheels off ebay and the tires are take-off Michelins from a Denali.

The closest track to me is shut down for December. They haven't posted the schedule for next year yet, but I think it will be sometime in February like last year. But, if I want to drive a little ways, I think there is a track thats still open on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. I'm in no hurry. I'd like Parish8 to get a timeslip so I'd know how large of a nitrous jet I need to be using. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

i really think before either one of us go much further we need to look at some botom end fortifacation.

got a question for everyone, lets say i keep it to 6-7lb's of boost and am able to feed it plenty of fuel how much of a shot will it take before it breaks without and internal work?

You have a good converter so you should be o.k. with your cyl. pressure out of the hole,but with a 75 shot I can bet you that you will have rod failure.The rods are very weak and will not hold up to that kind of abuse.I would be leary with a 50 shot if it was mine and a daily driver...Unless your ready to do an engine swap!!! <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

At Ennis I ran a 15.5 @ 92 with no weight reduction - just like I drive it every day. Thanks for the parts offer. I'm OK parts wise for now, unless they sell cheap nitrous fills.
