So, I have a bunch of time off built up, so I was thinking, of taking a friday night off to go racing in september.

Anyone else up for it, or a have a night that would work for them?

Pauly, when is the 9" going to be ready to run?

Hmm, I'll be there. Very Happy

9" is ready. Just need a hand putting it in. It's REALLY heavy. Sway bar mount can come later as can the relocation brackets. I'm just worried about the torque arm mount clearing.

i actually saw your car at PIR last week, and i looked under it in hopes of checking out a 9"

that is a great looking car though. and if you need a hand getting it in, i came up to pick up that rear end from your house a while back, i only live like 10 minutes from you. i'm always in for workin on camaros.....

So no one has a preference on a weekend? I can just pick one.

Paul, i can also go up there an help if you wanted to do it on a weekday night. Maybe it is time to get the band back together.

We are on a mission from God...

13th and 27th are paydays for me and would therefore work the best. But will try to come out whenever

Looks like the 26th would be it for me, or Oct. 3rd. I can put in the request for time off on either of those Friday's.

Ohhhh, is your timeline that quick? I can scedule it for the 2nd week of oct. if you need some extra time.

Well the 406 deal fell through so now figuring out parts. Hoping to be done and running early Sept. I think that is realistic but you know how projects go.

Yeah I know, There are a lot of people willing to help get you going though too. Heck, I can come over and help during the week, if you need it.

I dont know how october is for me. we will be starting the "busy season" in fall and that will mean 60-70 hrs per week. 30 hrs of OT is nice but takes up all my play time lol

Just lettin ya know I'll be glad to come down and see how fast my car actually is... (or how slow) Laughing

Been planning on it for awhile actually, always better to hang with the crew than go it alone though.

It all depends on how much money I have left over after I move into a new house this weekend.

i will be there in september whats the date

Quasi-Traction · Posted: Thu Aug 14, 2008 7:19 pm Post subject:

All I have to do is yank the motor, do pan/timing cover, remount the exhaust, do some carb adjusting/tuning, get a temp (1mo's worth) coverage of insurance, renew the tabs (registered outside emissions, woo hoo!) and I could do a couple passes down the strip.

I'm sure a late Sept date won't be a problem.

I'm betting it'll pull low low 15's, as it sits now. I'm aiming to break the old trap of 15.17@ 95 which was my best with my old smokey 350.

If I can hook from the dig, I might be able to trap a 14.8-14.9
