Now that this season is over.....

[Jersey_TA]

What's everyone got planned for next year? I figured I'd live'n the place up with a new thread 8-)

Not much for the T/A just a new valve train(seals and springs) and hopefully it will hold together for over a year this time lol.

As for Evette.....I have a few things in mind :twisted:......Ported TB, headers/high flow cats/x-pipe/cat-back(possibly a bypassed Ti exhaust or magnaflow), and last but not least a nice set of CCW drag wheels by the end of the year. :twisted:8-):nod:

[Slow 88]

I will be putting new heads on with in the next week or so and then onto body and paint hopefully in March...

[NJSPEEDER]

lots of bolt ons and tuning.
i plan to hit the track in march and start working my way into the 11's :grampsch:

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Nothing :lol:

[Tru2Chevy]

What headers are you going with Rob?

[97transam]

With the new Yank SS3600, I got mid twelves in October, but was unable to get to the track in November to run with a new tune. So for '08, looking to do suspension.

[deadtrend1]

Scratch tires off the list. So all im doing is rear and tube k member and a arms. then start working on my 3rd gen.

[SteveR]

hoping to get the motor plans finalized for the Belv and a lot of the parts in and get the bodywork started. If I can get the frame, suspension, steering, brakes, and bodywork done, and the motor started by the end of the year, I'll be happy.

For the truck, I'm looking to get the lift pushed up to 4", replace a bunch of stuff, new heads, cam, stereo, exhaust, gauges, CAI, and get the trans rebuilt.

[Jersey_TA]

What headers are you going with Rob?

- Justin

Probably the non-corvette tax ebay versions for $400(my friend with an 03 A4 went 12.2 with them) unless I can pick up the overpriced LGs or ARs.

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

What happened to leaving the Vette stock? ;)

I dont think I am going to do anything to my car...i think theres still a little more room for another new best.....i might just need to work a little harder at it....then I will prob go with a set of long tubes......we'll see what happens...

Whats the point of having a sweet car if your gonna leave it stock :lol:

I think you could squeeze a 12.25 out of it if you hooked a tad better and shifted a little bit harder

From what I can tell, it's not a matter of more hook - it's a matter of leaving harder. Get those RPMs up on the launch! :-P

[Demonicbird00]

i thogt you werent going to do anything to the vette?? lol glad to see your gonna mod it :)

as for me....

need to hit 10.6 w/ the cam then ill save for heads and go low 10s. thats as far as im thinking right now :)

[heavy_chevy29]

this winter i have to upgrade the fuel system. so im going with an electric fuel pump, bigger lines, and regulator with return line. then once the motor is getting the fuel that it needs i will be playing around with nitrous. then its off to get a cage installed.

[V]

most of my stuff is staying as is for the next year. Next winter the SS motor is coming out...

[keith2717]

I will hopefully do heads, cam and some kick ass tuning.

[wretched73]

Will hopefully have the 350 swap done, already in the process of putting a posi in, ordered new LCA's and panhard bar, sway bars to come after x-mas, then in march a fresh paint job

[NJSPEEDER]

the pile of bolt on parts is growing :twisted:

march = page one of NJFBOA timeslip list and a place on the LS1Tech.com bolt-on list :grampsch:

[Mike]

theres a couple bolt ons left for me to do, i just have to decide if i want to grab a cage now and be a little slower than it needs, or spend the money on some mods and push the limits of not needing the cage

[NJSPEEDER]

Probably the non-corvette tax ebay versions for $400(my friend with an 03 A4 went 12.2 with them) unless I can pick up the overpriced LGs or ARs.

there was a thread a while ago on tech from someone who dyno'ed around 10hp higher with american racing headers than the kooks that cost the same :D

spend the money and get the gain

fock that you dont need a cage :)

[NJSPEEDER]

brandon's goal should be to get the ideas that we discussed done on his car :p

[Jersey_TA]

-brandon

I hate to say it Brandon, but I think your "9 lives" is about to run out as far as running without a cage. Just be prepared if you get booted during your first track appearance in 08. :-?

Well there's spending $1200-$1600 for AR headers w/X pipe and cats or spending $475 for a set with an X pipe. Sure going faster is nice, but I really don't want to spend $700 extra just for 10 hp. That could be TC money if I was going that route.

[Jersey_TA]

i thogt you werent going to do anything to the vette?? lol glad to see your gonna mod it :)


I wasn't going to, but you know me. I won't be going insane with it though. Just little things.

I was going to, but there's this chick with a Trans am that I have to beat now LOL j/k

HAHA!! I know thats been buggin ya!! :wink::wink:

[Jersey_TA]

Nah, the only thing that's been bugging me is not driving my T/A :(

[98tadriver]

hmmm i think I know someone who has a 4channel 12 bolt rear with 373s for sale! :shifty:

Thats what i wanna hear Rob!!!!

I will be on my bike alot more this year, and will be running that at the track. so hopefully, this winter, shes all tuned up and jetted and what not. :)

he could make 1 pass mirrorless and wingless, then put the wing and mirrors back on. Theyll never think to look at his number!

[bubba428]

That the fastest sunfire EVER!!!!!

[deadtrend1]

it is kinda starting to appeal to me the more you are trying to push the sale

[79CamaroDiva]

i very seriously looked at this. I can get it for an amazing price, especially since its so complete. the only problem is that im having a hard time with the idea of cutting up my car when it isnt even paid off yet.. its not out of the question.. I very nearly came home with it from the PRI show.

[Tru2Chevy]

Heh...didn't you spend enough at PRI missy?

[Kid Racer]

thanks i think

[Blackbirdws6]

Got my MT DR's ready to go mounted on my stock 16's so going to hit up atco at some point and see what I can do. The car is very tricky to launch as it sits so hopefully I can get some consistency out of it.

Going to also fab up a different bottle mounting configuration rather than using the top of my sub box.

I'm not ready to do a rollbar setup in the car so my runs will be primarily at Atco since I get kicked out everywhere else.

[Batman]

Let's see here
#1- Get the CORRECT converter for my car.
#2- New shocks/Springs
#3- Maybe put in a new Posi and change the rear back to 3.42
#4- If the planets align for once I am looking into a Nitrous/Propane kit as my over winter mod next year
