I don't think I am going Friday night TNT. It is too much of a hurry for me to get to my house in rocklin from Yuba City and strap the car on the trailer then Drive to the track.

Saturday night Grudge seems to be more tempting to me.

LOL!

Nah, I only took the turbo off because it was going to go on my lil grey RCSB truck and be set to run 10s but I canned the whole idea and decided to go back to school and work on a career instead. Durring that time I had built the 5.3L in the big truck for N/A duty at 10.8:1 CR and it made 345rwhp. I ran across a greta deal on the Radix blower and decided to try out a high CR low boost combo for drivability reasons. [Smile]

Its doing great so far. On a basic tune I made 433rwhp @ 5psi and tonight after things cooled down (and timing wasnt being pulled) I ran a 13.52@104.3. Pretty cool for having a shitty TQ converter (the new one is waiting to be installed), a beefy 4L80E conversion, and a partial tune on only 5psi [Smile]

Will it ever be as fast as it was with the STS? Doubtful because I am not going to dump any more money into it. With the parts I already have on it or sitting around I can get it to hit about 12.7s@107mph is my best guess. Close enough to the STS for me [Smile]

LOL, I missed that part but I did see you getting pissed off in the staging lanes when everyone from lane 7 were cutting you off and pulling into your lane (6).

Maybe it was me but if the lanes are miss marked and lane 7 is lane 6 and what not please tell me that before I get there. Whatever though, at least it wasnt packed yesterday.

nah you were in the correct lane. Everyone was in lane 7 for tech and Dave was pulling em from that lane but everyone was merging into your lane instead of staying where they were supposed to. Your car was labled for lane 6 and thats where you were. [Smile]
