It actually sticks pretty good. I have stock torque arm and rear control arms with 60,000 miles on the bushings. I have the nitrous coming on at 3300 rpm and my convertor is only stalling up to around 2500 instead of 3000. I need a better convertor and lower the nitrous on to 3000 and then I'll have traction issues.

Thanks,

Bill

I was there also, but didn't get to speak to you. PRP is my home track and I like to chat with any h-body guys that come in, but I was buisy and didn't even get to see a run of yours. I was looking at the car in the lanes and it would fool me if I didn't know better :D Mine will be out for the meet at QCR next year so see you there.

HR1140,

I saw your car there too. I went over and checked out the real race cars and saw a few Vegas, yours is nicely done. I'll be out to PRP and QCR more than a few times next year. Keep posted to the shows and meets section for details about the get together at QCR.

I know some people might disagree, but the LSx engine is the best GM ever built! HANDS DOWN!



Hate to say it but the ls is the best FORD engine gm ever built! with a custom cam built you can BOLT ON a set of cleaveland heads onto a gm ls engine, i know i know, i am putting a 6.0l in my car but, have to give credit where credit is due! ford made the 350 cleavelend in the late sixties/ early seventies! it took GM 30 years to come up with a new engine, and what did they design the engine after!!! i am a gm guy for life, in no way would i ever consider buying/ owning a ford.... :th:

and look at the cleaveland heads!! for being made it the seventies they flow 300cfm!!!!

I was using 98 F car manifolds. I miss my Monza... Anyone want to buy a 12 sec GTO.
