I've taken mine quite a few times . My best time so far is a 13.2 in the quarter . I still have the 305 TBI with bolt-ons and nitrous .

13.2 in a 305 is where the discussion is. That and the fact it's in a convertible. Is there a timeslip? Dynograph? Got pics of the TBI with the NO2? I'm sure that is a special intake to accomodate the gas.
I wanna see!
Oh! Dig the hotties in the sig. More pics of that too.

EDIT: typo'd the time.

I can take some pics of the nitrous system no problem and post them . I'm pretty sure I still have my time slip . I'll post it , but they print small at the track . Not sure how well it will show up . Sorry but that's the only hotty pic . Maybe I'll get quite a few more next week when I'm at the Car Craft Nationals .

Did you do all the work on the engine yourself? I still want to know about your intake manifold.

Wow sorry I was gone so long Cadillac , but a lot of overtime and many problems with the install kept me away . I will try and get you some pics of the intake / nitrous system soon . I'm not real positive on posting pics on TGO though . On my local 3rd gen site I just load them in My Pictures on my computer and then go on downloads on the site and download them . On here you have to have some place to host them right ? Can someone help me with that deal ? Sucks bad though , I missed the Car Craft nationals with the car on jackstands

Oh crap . I always re-size mine before I post them anyway . So if I put them 60 percent smaller I can just put them in my post directly ?

Consider also that our track (Bandimere Speedway) is a mile above sea level.

ive not taken mine to the track, but it goes 0-60 in 6.7 seconds and i beat bruce (90RS305) who allegedly runs a 15.3 by 3 carlengths @ 90mph... and i spun em HARD through 35 mph... haha... low 14's is my guess with the new tires and 3.23 gears...
