Just dropped my baby off today for some much needed shiney stuff. Upgraded fuel system(capable of supporting my next round of mods after this year), hardend output shafts, half shaft loops, tunnel loop, built trans, 3000 stall, and dun da da dah a blower cam Mmmmmmmmmm :)

The rental oct 12th should be interesting :twisted:

lol atleast you got a clean pass in yours before the trans issues started. You would think I could have atleast got 1 decent pass after adding 150 hp and tq lol.......maybe not.

Thanks Brian. :) It definitely won't be the fastest thing there but if I hit the number I want I'll be happy........for now lol. I was shooting for a 10.9 @ 125 before the blower cam......after......I'll keep my mouth shut for now ;)

I forgot to look for it on my way home from LBI this afternoon. I looked on Friday morning when I went down because I knew you said it was going to be there around this time.

Can't wait to see how she runs with a built trans under her!

Its a few backordered trans parts mostly. Besides I was on vacation in Illinois for the passed 25 days so I told them I didn't need it until the 12th.

the car is back at ECS replacing the locking convertor that isn't locking up....for free ofcourse....not their fault. Also I opted for the built rear and 3.42 gears. It saves me money doing them now instead of later.....saving up for something else so I gotta get all the car stuff in that I can.
