About this Current Vehicle:
Bought this car in October of 2007. It was absolutely bone stock and was in need of some serious TLC. Paint was flaking off on the front and rear bumpers, and appeared as if it hadn't had a bath in about 2 years. I immediately had the paint fixed, cleaned her up real well, and added some wheels/tires to give it an updated look. I then took it to the track to get a baseline. It went 13.3 on heavy 19" rims. Since then I've added the basic boltons and a 3800 stall converter and have gone a best of 12.1 @ 109 on some M/T ET Street Radials (stock wheels). I'm currently getting my NOS wet kit hooked up and will be running a 150shot. That should put me deep into the 11s, or a high 10 if I can get it to hook up.

Nitrous Install Complete
Nitrous install is complete. I was able to do a quick test on the street to verify it functions. I am going to be heading to the dyno within the month to make sure everything looks good...then I'll be heading out to the track for some new numbers.

Nitrous install is slowly moving along. I've got the bottle mounted in the spare tire well and the solenoids mounted in the engine bay. I'm going to work on some wiring tomorrow night.
