Wondering if any of the Central guys would wanna join up with the JSFBOA to cruise up to Island this Sunday.

Lemme know.

[Tru2Chevy]

West Central will be meeting up at our usual Quick Chek.

The others usually meet up with the shore crew at Fudds on 22 in Bridgewater.

[LTb1ow]

Yea, I am just throwing out a line, haven't heard much from the central guys.

[firebirdcrazy]

Well Myself and NJ Torque on the other threads said we were down for meeting up.. Name a place and address we will be there.

[sweetbmxrider]

i don't know the route we are taking, but we are meeting up at monmouth mall. i'll ask the veteran bigal whats up

[ib4200]

i would be good with meating up at fuds on 22 in b-water, you guys would just have to jump off 287 for a sec to get there. who else wants to meet there?

[ib4200]

[IROCZman15]

[emolineaux]

[Blackbirdws6]

I'm down...weather aint looking too good for tomorrow though. Calling for isolated and scattered showers all day.

What's the call?

[BigAls87Z28]

Why dont we all meet up at Fuds on 22 @ 945?

[Blackbirdws6]

Why dont we all meet up at Fuds on 22 @ 945?

If the forecast is good, I will be there.

[ib4200]

alright 9:45 sounds good

[IROCZman15]

i should be there at 9:45 as well

[BigAls87Z28]

Ok, JSFBOA is gunna roll through Fuds at around 945. If people are not there, we will just keep heading north.
It looks like weather is not clearing up as much as some might have expected...Fuds will be the go/no go call for Nats for us.

[LTb1ow]

[sweetbmxrider]

i made it, wait no

[Saitin]

so it rained did any one go to the nats?

[FlyingDutchman]

Speaking to a lot of people with that comment. Not everyone wants to drive their cars in the rain after cleaning them for a day or more. Yea its a car and they are made to go in the rain but it just wasn't the best day to do the event IMO. Glad you got a lot of runs and wished I could have made it.

[LTb1ow]

Yea it was a general comment, my car is far from show car status, so rain only scares the driver. :)

[transmaro93]

what did you end up running matt?? and what happened to AL's car?

[BigAls87Z28]

Third gear apparently didnt want to come along for the last 2 runs. It waited for me back in the pits though. Nothing is more awesome then flying through the traps at 7 grand.

Also, the 9 bolt is no longer a posi. average 60ft was 2.5-3.5. Sure the weather didnt help, but my best 60 was 2.3 and i managed to pull down 96.4mph with 2 speeds....
Now all I need is about 2500 bucks to get a new rear, trans and converter, and I should be ready for 13s.

what trans you runnin and what are you looking to put in it.
if you need yours rebuilt. friend of mine is a builder and i can get it done cheap. (he owes me a couple favs)
let me know. i'd have to drop it off like it was mine so he would give me the deal on it.

[BigAls87Z28]

Its a 700R4, and thanks man Ill let you know whats gunna happen with it. I think Ive spent my budget on car parts for this year. Driving it home, everything was fine. Took a couple of higher RPM runs, everything shifts fine.
Id really like to look for a rear first. A used 4th gen 10 bolt would be perfect. Pref. an LT1 rear.

[S.J.SLEEPER]

craigslist, 10bolt out of a camaro w/ brakes and all i think it was $200 and in neptune, nice and close to you.

drain the fluid out of that trans put fresh in and a bottle of friction modifier/shift improver additive. only use the black bottle it goes in all gm transs' i used to own cottman trans on broad st. in trenton. i swear by the stuff.
are you runnin a ext. cooler on it? and what size lines? no smaller than 6-an.
if fluid a little nasty, gettin high temps, the govenor could be stickin & or your 3/4 clutches may be shot.

camaro2you guy on this forum has a 4l60e w/ 5k on it. looking for $500 sure he would take 400-450

[IROCZman15]

big al.. i have a used rear end out of a 2000 trans am. its got internals, axels etc, in my crawlspace. i was going to junk it... if u want that let me know. it was from NP00TA's 2000 ls1 trans am before he got a 12 bolt in the car..


also i went to the event. even tho i cleaned the car all day saturday .. i decided to drive there in the rain with a few cars. got messy, but nothing a good wax job wont protect.. it all wiped off. had fun, small turnout, cuz of rain. oh well

[transmaro93]

AL... if you can wait a few months... you can have the rear out of my car... its in pretty decent shape... whines alittle.... moser axels and bearings were all recently done.. its a pretty fresh rear... 3.42 ratio (gm performance gears) and auburn posi... i wont kill ya on the price... adam said he might be interested but who knows... i also have a aluminum drive shaft if your looking for one of them... only thing is my rear is 4 channel so i dont know if you have abs or what... i wont be looking for much money so either so let me know... you get the obama discount... haha probably sometime in october ill be pulling it out... no brakes though! i need to reuse them...

[BigAls87Z28]

Thanks Branden. My calipers are the same or near the same as yours, which is why I either want a LT1 rear or an LS1 rear with all the fixings. My car has no ABS or any sort of traction aid. I dont think Im gunna do anything till fall either, so I have time as well. The 72 has now moved into the main ring. I plopped teh carb on, and tried to start her up, but she just wasnt in the mood.
Ill start looking around for a new rear.
As for the trans, 4L60E will work? My car doesnt have any electrical connections to control the shifts.

[BonzoHansen]

I think you'd need a controller for an 'E'

[HeadlessNorseman]

wish i didnt work that day. Would have put the lt1 back together at least. There is always next year!

[firebirdcrazy]

It was pouring when I left Edison, but it stopped midway there and it actually was a nice drive on Rt 31 off of the 287. Took 80 on the way back what a horrible road. Rocks everywhere due to construction. By some miracle I scathed through with no damage to my nose with all those rocks flipping up from other cars lol. My car cleaned up very nicely when I got to the show. When I got home I just hosed it down and wiped everything clean and it was good to go. Though I had to leave before the awards I had a good time and was fun watching the races. Next time I will get on the track too.
