About this Current Vehicle:
Bought the car Jan. 13 2006, and have loved every minute of owning it
The dyno numbers i have posted were made on stock manifolds, and pretty much 5 cylinders (none of which we believe were fireing at there best either since we had stock length push rods still in it with ported heads and aftermarket cam.

FINALLY did it.
Finally got a 13 second pass out of it. it ran a 13.993, but i know it still has more in it, as i did not really launch it, and let out of it early.

getting closer and closer.
The plan for this car since day 1 has been to hit a 13 seconf 1/4 mile. Over the last couple months, it has slowly been getting closer and closer, even with me messing with it and taking steps forward, then going backwards to. the cars latest accomplishment was the other night. It went 14.12 at 94.71 mph, which is down about 1/2 a mph over my best and my 1/8 mile mph hour is down over 1 mph over my best, but with a 1.92 60' which is a personal best. most of that is due to going from a 26 inch tall tire down to a 24.6 inch with no tune for it.
here in the next few months she should be pretty well into the 13's with some new toys i have coming (long tube headers, electric water pump, better CAI, bigger fuel injectors, tune, pro star light weight drag rims)

sweet....
Well, the car is in the shop. i talked to the guy taking care of it, and he said he would also fix a few other problem areas my car has. I also managed to find some new parts to replace some severly rusted out spots under my hood for pretty cheap. so keep a look out for new pics in a couple weeks.
now im just waiting to get my long tubes and my hands on another rim for my slicks.

hey how did u add a soundclip to the page?! ive got a vid up of the new engine in mine before the exhaust was hooked up. still have to take one with everything back together
how hard was the shift kit to install? would it really even help on top of the corvette servo?
hey so are you using a stock tranny and rear end aside from the corvette servo and gears? im just wanting to know how well it holds up under much higher hp because i dont know if you saw but mines getting built. im doing the servo now and gears next sprin
