We were about to put my Friends Trans Am on the Trailer friday afternoon and noticed fuel leaking from one of the injectors. He attempted to tighten a screw for the fuel rail and broke the head off of it. So we were just gonna go in my truck but being both of our wives were out of town we decided to go party instead of going to the track. Instead of a new best I got a horrible hang over...LOL. I don't know if the track will be open this weeking because of Thanks Giving but In the next couple weekends I'll get there.

This will give me time to get my Volant Air Scoop and Underdrive Pulley installed. I figured those 2 mods should be worthy about .2 in the 1/4. Any one have any times with the Volant Air Scoop?

Later

Mason

My truck in the cold weather will spin the tires rolling about 20mph and get a lil sideways in this cold weather. If I stop and do a burn out it will blow the tires away. When it is 80+ outside it will barely spin. You would think with all the new technology out there they could do something about how much the heat and humidty affects these motors.

BadAssBlue and sixliterhd I'm near the Youngsville area. Me and a few friends are planning to get together and buffalo wild wings or hooter later this week then go have a lil fun on the street. We will be in a 69 Camaro with a 500HP big block and a 95 Trans AM that runs low 10s on drag radials (possibly high 9s now with the new combo). Should be fun. Let me know if you all wanna come have a beer with us and I'll let yall know when and where.
