Unfortunately I won't be able to go since I have a certain obligation to fulfill this weekend (see avatar), but it is looking like there will be a pretty decent group and all of the cruises that we have done in the past have been a great time! The last one we had was a sponsor cruise where we ran out to TPIS and then to Donneybrooke and finished up at Friendly... Easily had 35 cars on that one
.Also, anybody is welcome to come to our monthly meetings as well. You can do a lot with our club without being a member but you just won't get the discounts and deals that paid members are eligible for. Annual member dues are only $20 though

1) Apparently you are not satisfied with you're car. 2) If you want to pick fights over college hockey go elsewhere. 3) I know exactly where Grand Forks is since I played basketball at NDSU.
I make trips over to ND once in a blue moon, but if you send me your info I'll give a holla.

riiiiiiight, who cares if you come to U of M, that is so immature to b all ****ing stupid like that, if ur going to post just to tell us your not coming, then don't post, that was worthless...
it was a joke, not everything on here is serious. The purpose of my post was not to tell you that I was coming to this one(I just found out about it) but to tell you guys that I'm in ND and not too far away, and I may be able to come to future meeting. and as for my car I am not satisfied with it. Everything done on it was half assed and the motor went to hell.

Wow, guess I need to add this to my Email Notification list! 
Thanks for the kind words 90Formula5spd. I thought about an LT1 myself but didn't have the cash to do it when I built my 355. I updated the site a few days ago..... The 3.73s are in with the Torsen diff and I made a little page for my 383 build up.
The MNFBC Fall Cruise:
They are meeting at 9:00 am on the 4th at the TGI Fridays next to The Mall of America in Bloomington. Just follow this link and it will probably answer any other questions you might have:
http://www.mnfbody.com/cgi-bin/ultim...c&f=2&t=000240
As for racing, if you want to line up with someone I am quite certain they will not have a problem with it! We have been known to do some messing around during events of this kind...lol
.
TPIS:
The discount at TPIS is not really a straight percentage discount... It is more like a certain amount can be discounted off their cost on things they don't make themselves, and a very nice chunk off the parts/services they make/provide in house. I used to be one of the guys that flat avoided TPIS like the plague because of their pricing. But with the relationship the MNFBC has developed with TPIS, we have been able to get some very nice discounts and deals and I have turned to TPIS for quite a few things for my 383 project. They also have had us down to their shop multiple times for BBQs or Pizza - on them. They also usually post their used/clearance items on our classified board before they go public with them. All in all TPIS has been good to us and we have been good for them (as in bringing in a lot of local business they didn't previously have).
We also have discounts established for paid members at Discount Tire in Maplewood (tires, wheels, mounting, and balancing), Donneybrooke Racing in Wayzata (run track days at Brainerd International Raceway as well as sell all manner of safety and seating equipment for road racing), and Friendly Chevrolet in Fridley (largest Performance Parts Dealer in the region).

If it isn't too cold and not raining I will probably be hanging out in the parking lot on the south side of University about 5 blocks east of Hwy 280 on Friday and probably Saturday nights this weekend. There is a Mobil gas station on the north side of University and it is pretty much kidde-corner to a McDonalds. There are usually lots of F-bodies, Mustangs, muscle cars, etc. hanging out in that lot on Fridays and Saturdays. We used to hang out around Porkys but the cops are out of hand down there and Porkys charges just to drive through their lot.
Not sure what you guys had in mind but I thought I would put that out there in case you are in the area (which it sounds like you might be).
