MINDGAME!!

i have been tring to get ahold of you for monthes!

I have all my 18* stuff but never found you so I decidedt o just go with stock LT1 stuff for now and save it for a SBC 427 in a motown block. Making all the parts now

Glad to see you are back!

 

Hey Ellis!

My apologies. When I left here, I also left two other message boards behind. Same e-mail addy for all those sites. Had only a little to do with an individual on this board but mostly it was due to time management... I was just spending way too much time browsing the internet. Being the ****-retentive manager I am, I decided to call it quits and take on some other projects I'd had on the back burner for some time.

I went back to check e-mail some 3-4 months later and my box had become a haven for spam. After scrolling through pages of "Hi I'm Amber, wanna see me naked", "2 wet4 U", etc., I just deleted the whole damn thing and only recently went back for another cleanup. So, I regret to say, I probably deleted your message along with many other important ones. May they rest in peace. *insert Taps here*

I'm all for helping as much as I can. Just PM me with any specifics and we'll go from there.

Jason,
The car has gone as fast as 138.6mph. Not bad for something I could drive every day of the week if I wanted to.
The 60' times are still not too great, 1.72 being the best so far and 9.82 secs. If I can get the chassis worked out, the car has some potential to go a little quicker, I don't think she'll see much more mph but I'm very happy with the tuning so far.

Yep, Ken just sent me a link that I'm about to investigate further (T56 builders). I talked with a guy earlier this week from One Cryo, they said they've had excellent results with their cryo-treat on race engine parts, especially gears, splined shafts and other high-load components. Yeah, he's a good salesmen and I understand the industry but looks as though you've heard some good things as well? That is reassuring! One Cryo will be getting a few parts here soon.. albeit, beefier parts than stock.

I've pretty much made up my mind to stay with the M6. If this were a drag car (and it won't ever be) then I'd go auto but that to me, would just take all the fun out of driving this car. Not to mention, I'd need to rethink my cam selection a bit.

How's your project coming anyways? Last I heard you were still considering an intake and dealing with clearance issues??

Brain,
Don't know what all is wrong with mine yet. My work schedule right now is keeping me away from my hobbies.
One thing I can tell you at a glance is I have a nice helical-spline. She didn't break but she's twisted like Chubby Checker.

Later,
-Mg

 

If you can make it to the Thunder Shootout I will buy you dinner for being such a pimp! 138.6mph?

Back to lurking in this forum...
Ryan

 

I would love to make the Thunder Shootout get together but there just aint no way that is going to happen this year Ryan. I put in for two weeks at the first of this year as I had planned on at least making the HR Power tour but my request was shot down on the spot. Here I am a senior manager and I can't schedule any time off til near the end of this year. Needless to say... we are really working our tails off right now. Considering the number of jobless in my sector of the industry, I have no room for complaints.

Maybe next year!
