Wow, that is weird. My pic is taken in 2002. I was just doing a google search looking for some F-body stuff and saw the site. That is strange that I have never heard of this site until now (3 years after it's inception). Looks like a pretty good site. I have been browsing the forums just seeing what you guys / gals have on the site.


As far as mods go: This car has a laundry list of stuff done to it. If you really want the list I can copy and paste it ( about a page long, LOL )

I would paste it, but I don't know the rules yet on listing a mod signature. Don't wanna make the admin upset if there are rules against it.

Wow, I did not realize how many responses to my 1st post from last night
Thanks for the huge props ( No Rice Inside )

To answer a few of the questions. Yes I have taken the car to the track. I ran the car two summers ago with all the bolt-ons no internal mods on M/H slicks.
12.61 @ 109 mph 1.8x 60ft.

That time was with the car slammed on the Eibach sportlines (about 3" of drop) so it's amazing I was even able to 1.8x 60ft the car. I have since brought the car up to a 1.25" drop, hoping for some low 1.7x's ( 60ft ). I have also had the car dyno tuned by ed wright ( fastchips / tulsa ) put my Electronic cutout on the car and did a bunch more tuning to the supspension setup.

I'm hoping that the car will go 12.30's @ 110 or 111 with the new setup. I think that I may be pretty close to one of the fastest all stock longblock bolt-on LT1 car. There are definitely a few faster bolt-on LT1's out there, but I have to be in the top ten fastest
There are more pics of the car, but give me a week or two to post some more I got some things I'm changing and want to take pics of the new setup

Archemedes, no that won't be my sig. LOL


Here's a pic of the car being dyno tuned from last summer.
