I bought a crank pin kit a couple days ago. Should be here in a couple days. but im takin her to Test an Tune at my local track tmrw night so I can see what she'll actually do.. mind its still not tuned right and my clutch isnt right either lol, im taking it to the shop to get clutch fixed here on Saturday.

Haven't been on In awhile... First off I blew up the rearend last summer at "Heartland" my local 1/4 mile track. I ordered a TruTrac locker and a set of 4.56 gears from Ron's Machine Shop, great quality and service btw, got those installed and got to say IDK why I didn't do the rearend from the beginning, night and day difference!! Stock I had the g80 and 3.73's... Not bad behind the 4.8 and 5spd manual. Behind the Ls6 and T56 6spd... TURD lol!! Before She was a dog off the line and a 1 tire fryer. Now shes like a rocket. Mostppl said 4.56's where too high. But I think they're perfect. First off I'm running a 31"tall tire on 20's second I have a double overdrive with the 6spd. At 80 mph on the highway in 6th I'm only running about 2200 rpm's. Also I took out the catts. Made her a lot more torquey. I also bought a little go go juice that I need to finish wiring it up and see how she likes it. Next mods coming soon after I get my taxes back are some LT headers and borla Xr-1's through an x pipe and then straits, no catts. Install my Ls7 clutch and flywheel. And get my tranny rebuilt, 3rd gear synchro is goin out... Grinds occasionally.
