Well spring is here, my car is done and I'll be heading out to Bigshot Dyno Friday night after work if anyone is interested. I'm trying to get some people together so I can buy you guys a couple rounds of beer. So far Darkhorse is coming 95_RipperZ and Gary 95 Z28 M6 might show up, I'll know later on in the week. I'm hoping that CANTONRACER will show up but I don't know the condition of his car. I believe its been at the dyno shot the whole time.

If you do plan on showing up call ahead and let them know you're coming. I'll be there from about 6pm. Bigshot dyno rents Dragway 42 every now and then and if you are a customer they'll invite you out and its free to make all the passes you want.

Yo Grease, I wish I could be there, but I will be out of town from Friday to Monday.

My car is in my garage at my home, but some of my motor is at the shop. Going to be buying some parts this week so I can get it back together.

Very curious as to the power you make. Did Brian reprogram for you?

Let me know when you go out. I would like to see your burning setup and I might be able to help with tuning.

Yeah I heard from Ryan that you got the Hotcam and Jethot LTs. That means he'll have the slowest LT1 in NE Ohio by atleast a full second j/k

Thats until he gets his Nitrous Oxide installed

Grease,
I'd love to go Friday but my car has some kind of low rpm
stumble/miss. I'm gonna throw a new set of wires at it this weekend to see if this will fix things. The car feels like its running on seven cylinders.

Grease, I will be there putting the whopping 250 down. Anyone going to have LT1 edit there since Jason isnt going to be around?

We'll see who get's the best of who this summer

PS, I found out my problem. Turns out that the bolt I put in to seal off my AIR came loose a little and was making all the ticking. Tightened it up and RTVed it and it is gone.

Yea but lets remember who has the slowest V8 in North East Ohio. No one is taking that title away from me, damnit.

What? You mean to tell me you run slower than 15.9 @ 86mph. Thats what my 77 Z28 ran. Not bad for 200hp.

Alright, thats what we like to hear
Make sure you remove your cats and block-off plate in your Borla, or atleast bring the tools to remove it after one run to see how much difference it makes.

Will do. I reattached my E-cutout but it doesnt work. lol. POS McCord. The driver side collector still leaks like a ****. Stupid FLP attach design. I think a slip-fit, cutsom Y pipe is in the future.

Waswa, we started digging into Jeff's car and decided to do the AC delete along the way but cant figure out how to get the condenser out of there. We took out the front 3 bolts along with 2 in the back that turned out just to connect it to the lines but the thing wont pop out. WTF? It wiggles but wont come.

I thought it was supposed to snow this weekend

BTW, I'm guessing you'll dyno in the 280-300 range. Last time I was there an LT1 with a cat-back and CAI dynoed around 260-270rwhp
