Never mind, I found it, the seller is talking BOM but has an ECM in the picture so I don't know what he's actually selling.
Yeah, thats why I didn't want to give you the link...too many loose ends.



Thanks Polo, it does get good traction. 11" MT et streets seem to do the trick!

I'm thinking a 150 shot and a better launch at the track should produce 10s with ease. 4.10s in the rear instead of the 3.45s would probably help too.

Speed cameras in Jasper Texas, wow that sucks.

Sounds like you have a decent engine.
I make my runs deeper in the sticks IOT avoid; people, cameras and the mobile tax collectors.


I wish you luck with the speed camera.

Mike, the road I was when I did the launch is the most deserted road around. Its suprised the mess out of me to see a camera there. I understand though, tons of people go flying down that road daily as a shortcut, and there are burnout marks everywhere, but they aren't from me...

Oh well, it was fun, and now i know a decent baseline for 0-60 and 0-100 times, and they look good! Now I gotta get this thing on the juice and get to a track!

They aren't from you, yeah sure they aren't.

I drive to another state for my deserted road; however, considering the size of Texas that can't be an option for you!

You ever cruise down 87 out of burkville? It's a great winding road. I'm hoping to make that cruise when I'm in town during christmas...that is if the heater is working in the vette by then.
