Question So what are all the Big Dogs up to?

I remember hearing a lot of stuff, just wondering if anything is going yet? George has been mysteriously quiet, just curious as to whats up with everyone? What are your guys goals as well?

My moter is done.The car is not anywhere near done.It is all a cash thing.It will probabbly go in my 95.I am having fun with the stock headed moter in it now and want to work on a 11.5-11.7 slip with it in.Then I will throw a front hoop in it. And see if my new 396 can tear up my 6 speed.

I would like to haul it to thunder racings gig and run it in the m6 class.With just a small shot.

The car that we are building for this moter to run in xtreeme street will be built over the fall and winter.

Ed am I understanding that you're planning on spraying your stockhead combo to a 11.50 soon. I didn't know you even had a bottle in the thing. Frank95z

Who are the "Big Dogs"?
People that run 11.5's and can't spell motor? J/K

From what I've heard most people are just getting stuff together. Some having problems, some just not having anough time/money.

I'm hopefully going to make my license runs, FINALLY, this weekend? Hopefully!

Hope to run high 8's low 9's spraying the motOr.

Will hopefully be at the last three PRO events also.
George I heard was hoping to make the last two.
Madman better get his slowpoke butt out also!

Frank.
No spray on the stock head/stock bottem end Motor.But I have been working on the suspension to work on the short time.My 12.07 runs were spinning through first.I have since bought new slicks ,new subframes antiroll bar, halls.I went to the track and snapped a hiem on my tourque arm.So It has been down for a few weeks.Most of those parts were for another car we are building.

I have a 396 lt1 with pro action 235's with a fogger sitting here just dying to be fired up

Dave
I was wondering when someone would pick up on the fact that I cant spell let alone type.
Good luck on the liscene runs this weekend.

I hope to have my car running again by August 15th. I have the same goals as StrokedTA. I wont be able to run mine legally at the track till next fall. Mine is money and time holding me back =). Keep in mind my car went from completly stock all the way to the air box to what you see in the sig in about 2 months. So I've spent my cash flow up pretty quick. I'll see 9's this year for sure. I'm hoping for 10's on motor.

Time and money, that's for sure. I'm not going to be out untill next spring at this point. No sense in half a$$ing it, gotta do it right. Should be tweaking for the 9's by April.

Can I be a big dog? Or a pup?

Have a few parts to buy and getting them on the car. Lots of stuffis done. Its the little stuff that seems to be holding me up the most right now.

I hope to have the car legal and tuned to race at the Thunder Racing event.

Check my webpage for pics and updates

Edit: My goal is 9.80 on around 17psi of boost. Anything faster than that would make me smile more.
