Thanks ECS for building me a great motor and allowing a rookie to come out and play. Great driving Rob, thanks for the pointers. They will be useful when I start banging on the car like you guys do.

I think I know what Carmen will be doing in his shop over the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for the opportunity to get some practice. Lord knows I need it. Slowly, the wheel is turning. I now fully appreciate how hard it is to get performance out of these cars on the 1/4 mile. It also makes you understand how good some of the drivers like Rob Zona and Paul Majors, just to mention a couple, are. And of course, Marc wasn't driving a Vette, but that Camaro is a handful, to say the least.

Let's all do this again in the spring. I'll bring more danish.

I never really launched it hard enough to find out. Car has some potential for a car that was set-up for the street. Trapped 131.67. Best ET was 10.947. Read my post in the performance section for the rest of the information on my set-up. Heard you were near by, it's a shame you didn't stop by, I might have let you bang on it.



I have been driving it for about a month on the street, very happy with the set-up.
