Some very nice looking cars posted here.......lol you didn't have a time limit on how long since you have been to the track so I am gonna go with 20yrs ago still counts (ya, ya, ya I know lol but life happened 3 kids and moving 2.5 hours away from the track didn't help)
Flrtin1...Your car is So NiCe...and it is great to see a time laps in the photo's like that. Congrads on keeping her this whole time. Its hard to do- like you said life happens.
FastLS1, nice dude I like the stance
Speed88, Man that is a nice launch-great ripples.
Mea83z, love the side pipes.
Stiletto, I love the pulled back look on the cowl hood and the hight is nice. The car does have the best stance I ve seen yet. Great loo
Johnfwz28, Man The front tilt...... . I have always wanted such....and will one day
Everyone has such great rides and the ideals are all great, glad to see so many in such nice shape.
hey BlackTopKing, that flip-up front end is all fiberglass. my son backed into the nose of it one day and put two cracks right in the grill. needless to say, i was not a happy camper when i saw it. but it was an accident so what can i say. hey your bird looks great! what kind of times are you turning?
Here's the street look
Here's the track look (NO DIFFERENCE).
I'm making ALOT of changes this winter like building a new higher compression 383, using a HSR, and upgrading from the P1SC to a F1 Procharger, oh yeah...some slicks too.
was that on motor? 122mph is pretty quick for a all motor 383
No, that was with 100 pills in and I started spraying at the end of second gear on the th400.
118 is my best mph on motor so far. I hooked up the microswitch and threw some VP C12 and a 150 shot in it on 10/16 but the throttle cable broke on me in first gear on my attempt with the nitrous so I guess I'll find out what it will do with the 150 and up next season. but I got my 11.41 @ 118 that night so it wasn't all bad I guess
thats exactly like my motor. i been 119 on motor and with my rich 150 shot spraying at top of first, i went 125. should go 128 with the new tune. That shot was RICH so it probly wasnt giving me the 150 hp its rated for.
for spraying a 100 shot and at top of 2nd, thats a good gain. You'll be well into the 10's with a 150 and spraying earlier

My goal was to get that high 10 this year but something stupid like a broken lokar throttle cable kept me from getting it! now my work schedule won't let me go back to the track before they close!
How do you like the 26in hoosers? Im wanting mine to hook on as close as factory size as I can get on the gta wheels..

i loved them, unfortunatly when i installed the spool i cut one of the tires when it grabed the inner fender lip. spool + factory worn out bushings & factory control arms = rear that moves in and out left to right lol.
when i have to get new tires again i will be going back to a 26x10 hoosier instead of the 28's
JohnfwZ28,
I am at a lost for words............... I live in Atlanta, the Stockbridge area and I am currently building an 84 Camaro... My question is; Who fabricated your front end to flip foward. Any more detailed pictures or etc. would be well appreciated! Thank you in advanced.
Depending on my mood I might trailer it out there or drive it. Usually at the strip I will run skinnies up front, open the cutout, remove front swaybar, and ice on the intake.
I want to get these wheels and I need to know once and for all if I need LONGER wheel studs (and what length) OR if the stock wheel studs will work fine. Half of the people say they have stockers and half say you need longer studs, I need a definitive answer from the people who actually put them on. thanks

Mine doesnt have stock front or rear setup anymore, but when it did I used stock lug studs with no problem.
I have pro stars on the rear of mine how would the new billet specialties skinnies look on the front? Or should i just get pro star fronts too? I wish I could afford the one piece aluma stars up front!

hey freeway, sorry it took me so long to reply, i've been w/o a computer for a while.(using a friend's now) to answer ur ?, i don't know who set the car up. i bought it as u see it. the front end is all fiberglass. i'll try to post some more pics soon.
What does you car run approximately ET wise? Has to be fast with an Orlando plate on the front!
she is no rocket. our local track sucks for weekly test and tune. and to rent the track it costs more than entering the world street nationals, so i entered in heavy street. i ran a 28x10.5 slicks against all these big tire cars and i qualified 33 ofa 32 car field 9.51 and the bump was 9.50 something.
this years i should have ran the street finals nad entered my car, ther was only 28 cars in heavy street. it would have been a guaranteed 1st round
. I have always wanted such....and will one day
