Cool pic. Looks like it was really biting hard off of the line.

Not to bad, that was cutting a 1.65 60' time.
I have QA1's on the front and stock shocks on the rear with an air bag on the driver side setting at about 15lbs. Other than that I have stock everything else.

I wish my car was light enough to do that
I cut 1.64s with both wheels planted firmly on the ground

Very cool picture!


Dremel and a hacksaw, Al Hopefully the sway bar is gone up front already also, knowing you it's been in the garage for a while already.

Time for some tubular chrome moly too

Hey Ken? Is that converter your running the same one you have been running? (With your Hot Cam, before your heads)

This Vig 3600 stall I got just seems so inefficiant on the big end. I liked my 3200 better over all eventhough the 3600 has netted me consistant 1.61 60' time on et streets.... Just hits a wall up top. I am thinking of switching...
LMK
Thanks
Eddie
Nice pic by the way....

My normal race weight since I went to the skinnies is 3530lbs.
Maybe when cool weather gets here?

96Z - With my lard butt in the car , I tip the scales at 215 lbs.

Smokn '94 Z - Same converter (ST3500), I'm going to switch the converter out, hopefully in the next few months. I'm going to go up a little and do away with the lock-up feature.

What programming have you got done with it? Is the converter locking up at the big end?

Ken: I had PCM For Less with just the Hot Camm but now I had a friend tweek it with tunercat. We had it on Datamaster then he tweeked it. (Dan K) No I do not have the converter locking up.

Thanks
Eddie


P.S. What size converter you going to?
