Default Hampton Roads '08 owners

Posted this in the SE section as well:
Any Tidewater/Hampton roads '08 owners wanting a dyno baseline?
FREE for the sake of R&D. Two runs free. Did I mention FREE?
Offer wont last long. We have a really good relationship with one of tidewaters biggest chevy dealers. If they supply us with a guinea pig, before someone speaks up, this offer will be withdrawn.
Post or PM.

I`ve got a 06 w/ a few mods you could dyno...Lol... I haven`t seen any 08`s at any of the shows yet, but I`ll keep my eyes out forone at Bass Pro or Jenro`s for you. I`m Jesse Wallace`s cousin who he bought the white 96 TA from.

Hey Mike, I know who you are. Thanks for the heads up.
Done a few 05s/06s/and one 07. Time to check out an 08. Especially with all the buzz surrounding them.
Looks like I'll probably end up gettin one from the dealer........

It`s all in the heads...Lol... I already have a deposit on a new Camaro from Les Stanford, Rick Daniel who I got the vette from. It should have the LS3 in it as well. I`m number 13 on his allocation. I don`t see any reason why a cam only LS3 w/ a 236+/244+ duration won`t put down 500rwhp through a stalled automatic + the usual bolt-ons. 500rwhp+3600-4000stall = mid- high 10`s on drag radials if it will hook up and doesn`t weigh 4k lbs. I`m sure some suspension work will be in order as well. The Camaro will be my drag car, and the vette I have now is a manual, plan on adding an ATI blower sometime in the future to that, w/ stock internals for a nice street car w/ perfect daily driver manners.
