Not a lot here, been working alot. As for the car working on a TH30 swap, some weight reduction, and traction. I know the car will run 11's next. Also been getting ready to help a buddy start on an LT1 swap into a 99 s10. I was going to pm you soon and find out how your ride is doing?

Cool, been working a lot here too. My ride is just chillin' right now. Got the blower on it, and fried the clutch on the dyno tuning it, so I need a clutch now! On the dyno the clutch was slipping by 3500 rpm, and at 5000 it was making 349 hp on just 4 psi we quit trying at that point. So if the clutch wasn't slipping, and I could rev it all the way to 6500, I would imagine it would see 460 to the tires.

Re: What's up Indiana?!?!

damn lt1s...

just playin

the t/a has been chilling (literally) in the garage. nothings been done to it, and the way its lookin it will stay that way.

Ive actually been having a lot of fun beatin on the DSM, its a blast to tool around in the snow (havent gotten stuck yet, and trust me, ive tried) Its got a boost gauge, a fart cannon, and a bumpin system in it now, so its enough to keep me entertained.

As for the future...well lets just say im waiting for GM to release the MSRP for the C6 Z06

Re: What's up Indiana?!?!

lol! Let's line 'em up Brandon!

Sounds like you are having too much fun in that DSM! As long as you don't start thinking it's fast, we'll be good!

Re: What's up Indiana?!?!

lol, im well aware of the difference between quick and fast. For what it is its a quick car (with some hellacious launches). but at stock boost and no real mods, no its not fast at all (id guess mid 14s) but for a 700 dollar car it aint bad.

The Z06, on the other hand, will be a fast car! With 500 hp at 3100 lbs, im would hope for mid 11s off the showroom floor. Then we'll see what LPE can do for it

but again, this all really depends on MSRP. The current rumors are anywhere from 55-75k, and theirs a big difference in what i can afford there.

LOL! Yeah $700 ain't bad! I'd drive one for that!

Re: What's up Indiana?!?!

what up fools!? Dam...well same old is going on round here......cold as heck and the car just sits. Man I will tell you what...it sucks being 21, cause now I blow like 1/4 of my check at the tittie bars every week......hehe............hrmmmmmm....Nitrous-or-******* all up in yo face.....dam now that is a tough decision.

On another note, Brandon if you get that Z06 that would be awesome...those specs on that thing are looking incredible...But I will tell ya though its gonna be pretty sad when the Lt1's smoke an LS7 vette.......haha.
Peace.

Re: What's up Indiana?!?!

Anything new with any of ya? I just got all my exhaust stuff pretty much, I decided against True Duals and went with a Y-pipe with a cutout and a hooker exhaust. Longtubes and the whole exhaust are going on in about 3 weeks when I have a free weekend. I also bought a NX kit, but I need to buy a few odds and ends for that, so I think I am gonna start out NA for a couple months. I am still struggling with what to do on the gears, I swear every year I say I am gonna get em and then something comes up. I am gonna call around and see if I can trust someone to do em and then I will go from there I guess. I am starting to get excited as it was really warm and sunny out today, hopefully we can get some consistant nice weather in the next few weeks.

Later.
