You met Grazi too. Nice meeting you by the way.

Nah man, came in the mystery machine :lol: We were there a touch after 11 and left around 2:30?

Was this directed at me or the Trailblazer?

Sorry, you. Car wasn't that loud either. Especially compared to that redish 5.0 :lol:

Cool Thanx, exhaust is growing on me. I think I'm losing my posi. Last 2 runs only passenger tire spun on burnout. Been happening here and there on the street this month. Time to pull open the 10 bolt......

Whoops yes I did, nice meeting you too.

Oh good god, that mustang made my car shake. Felt like a localized earthquake...

Give us a hint man... It wasn't the C3 vette I know that for sure.

I think it was that black Honda Accord that ran 17.xx

If it was I inadvertently met him. I was wondering what the setup was on there and turned out it was a stocker with a slushbox and sticky tires.

Definitely a disappointing turnout - considering how many people signed up; but it is a hike for most anyone in NJ.

Brought the new GTA I picked up Wednesday with a set of black CTW wheels on it.

Ya, pretty weak if you ask me. I figured if 20 said they were definite, maybe 10 would show up but i think there was only 5 or 6. Paul did you have the white 3rd gen TA with black wheels parked in the grass?

You got it...

I couldn't make it due to car issues that popped up a day or two prior. I would have loved to go, but running the car when I have odd things going on with a vibration is a good way to break things.

Really, is there any other way? :lol:

The trailblazer ss :lol:

Ah, saw it parked in the grass when we left. Looked real clean.

Don't know but I don't want to find out!:lol:

And I ran a car with lil over 400 miles on the bottom end, thinking what could possibly go wrong. :lol: But I can see your point.

Why did you wait so long?:wink:

:lol::lol:

Best way to break it in. Run it like you stole it.

Nothing wrong with breaking in a new motor at the track. There is, however, everything wrong with running a car that was previously vibration free, and suddenly developed a driveline vibration.

I'm going to swap in my spare LT1 steel driveshaft, see if the vibration goes away. Next up would be swapping on my stock wheels (stock size tire/drag radial out back) to see if that does it. If both of those fail, I guess I'm opening my diff up to see what may have happened there.

Oh I won't argue that. In fact I wouldn't have run it either with a vibration. I was just giving you grief, mainly due to the low turn out of at most 6 people out of what seemed like 20 signups.

As for breaking in the motor....I left the place (leaving island road turning onto 46) in a screaming from dead stop powerslide. So yes I run it easy, and I run it hard. I do know I left some on the table, with the launches and the fact that I didn't manually shift the car going down the track. (If I had I probably would have locked up the brakes and spun because the left foot would have went for a clutch) I've been trying to figure out the RPMs that won't overwhelm the tires on loading up the converter while using the foot brake. I know its quicker.

I've got an LT1 driveshaft laying around as well if you want to try another one providing your spare still vibrates and nothing else is wrong. I could bring it down for ya.

I felt bad missing this, but I felt like crap all day. I was looking forward to running 17s too...

L695speed - Thanks for the offer. Once I swap out the one in the car and test it, if the vibration is still present, then I'm on to the wheels. If I swap the wheels and tires out and it still does it, then it *has* to be the Moser axles I installed recently... Although I'd *swear* I took the car on the highway after I installed them and it was fine. Guess I'm going to find out.
