Ok October 4th is on a Friday night anyone up for a cruise to Budds Creek that night? its like 2 weeks from now whats everyone say?

 

I'll be at college.

 

I'm a go! Where and what time?

 

im gonna guess at 5:00pm

we will meet at Mr.Tire in Prince Frederick if thats cool with everyone else

 

come on now i know me and afterburn arent the only ones going to take a blast down the 1/4 mile i do think Joe is going he is down there pretty much every friday how about you Birmass?

 

Yeah!

What he said!!

 

LOL

 

well anyway im trying for 15.4 to 15.3

mods since 15.53
-new set of plugs
-Dunlop GT Qualifiers 265/50/15

 

I think you're really needing a posi!!

Same with Birmass!

 

yeah i know the posi will be a winter project after all the motor work is done

hehehe or a could be a total dumbass and weld the spider gears together hehehe

 

Still just you and me Dennis?

I might see if some of my other friends want to come down. They don't drive third gens, but at least it would be some other cars to cruise with.

I busted a motor mount again, so I won't be running my car. However, I really want to see some racing!

Anybody heard good things about muscle mounts? This is the third time I've broken a regular mount....

 

ive never broken a motor mount gone thru three tranny mounts though

 

yeha..gimmie a couple weeks to get my **** straight and ill cruise on over, what do you think i'd run.., 97 WS6 automatic ram air?

 

well its not a thirdgen no more but it is still an fbody car

should run 13.8s

let me get the RS's ready then ill run ya at the track

 

I may be up for a trip. How far is it from Prince Frederick?

Hey man, You looking to mod the '97 WS6? If so, I can hook you up. I work at an LS1 shop. We do everything. Your car ought to run mid 13's.

 

hell yeah i'd look to hook it up?, ive never driven anything so fast, actually i havent driven it yet so i havent ridden in anyting so fast, i dont get my license back till sat , so i cant wait.., i must learn self control..or im a goner..haha, what kinda deals you talkin bout?

 

That'd be cool to see ya there NastyBird!

I really need to see some racing...its been way too long! lol

 

hey Nasty_bird the place Mr.tire where we are meeting is at the very southern end of prince frederick about 5-7 miles past food lion where the carshow was

Budds Creek is about 30 miles from prince frederick

oh BTW to all who is going im doing the torque converter mod thats in the tech articales so i might see a 14.9

 

Dennis,

Still cool to meet tomorrow at the track for the TBI??

Also, if you want to consider this I can give ya the adapter plate that converts TBI to any four barrel carb. manifold that will fit your engine. This way you could have a much better selection of manifolds to choose from(and MUCH cheaper). I had the edelbrock performer intake which is pretty tall along with the adapter plate, TBI, and a K&N 9inch by 3 inch aircleaner on top and it fit with about 1/2 inch of clearance under the stock formula hood. Believe it or not the formula hood doesn't have any more usable clearance than the stock firebird hood because the bulge is only on one side.

 

yep you can go ahead and bring the throttle body to the track i would appreciate the plate that would save me loads of money


BTW are you coming to Mr.tire in Prince Frederick at 5:00pm to cruise over to the track?

 

In addition to everything else thats wrong with my car, my torque converter is going. Blah... :-(

I'm coming from Arnold (about 10 mins from Annapolis), so if you don't see me, give me an extra 10 mins, just in case. I'm leaving earlier than I need to, but still...I've only been to PF once. It was about an hour drive then, so I'm leaving a little before 4PM.

My cell phone # is (410)375-1506, just in case.

Going to go give my car a bath now!

 

I doubt I'll be able to make it to Mr. Tire, but I'll try. Either way I'll cya at the track.

 

Dennis, I didn't realize how bad traffic would be!! I didn't get down there until 5:40, and you guys weren't there anymore (not that I expected you to wait that long). My gf was with me, and we still wanted to see some racing, so we started heading out, but my torque converter is FUBAR.

There were sometimes when I couldn't make the car GO.

There is so much wrong with my car that I think I am going to have to take it off the road until summer

I have blown struts, a coolant leak, my exhaust manifold is shot, my motor mount(s) are broken, my steering is loose as a Vegas *****, I need body parts and paint, wiring done for a turn signal, wiring done for a horn, and I'll probably need an engine rebuild soon too (I'm at 130k, and they probably weren't easy miles). The torque converter is pretty much the last straw. It really won't be drivable soon.

It might be worth it to just wait and replace the engine with a 4 bolt 350, and get a new transy/rear then. I really don't know....

I'm pretty bummin' right now.

I AM sorry I missed you guys, I feel really bad for that. Next time let me get some of your cell #'s, if you have them. Also, I'll leave extra time, esp if its on a Friday!

Hope all of you had fun!

 

Damn, it's the 4th and I came home, ahh well, the car is still running slow, so I would just embarass myself again.

 

don't feel too bad Mark i had trouble getting back into the 15s friday night

for some odd ball reason my 3.42 open rear decided it wanted to spin both back tires and it left the line with terrible wheel hop????

i replaced the tranny mount friday morning and when it started hopping friday night i backed off the gas a bit to save the new mount don't know why its spinning both back tires now i don't want it to because it slowed my car down 6 tenths
