Ranger its about time you got your z, i got mine early so i didnt really have to wait, but i have been excitedly waiting for you to get yours. Go get some times and make us all proud, so when someone says what will it do in the quarter, i can say 10.xx even though i cant get the time, the car can. Now if they ask me what ive run i'll have to be satisfied with telling them an 11.high

I'm familiar to some degree with the application process, and I know that you are not people unfamiliar with hotrods and performance engines.
I think that it would be great to see some of your own projects and what you all have worked on in your own garages. It would be a great way for us to see what you do on your time away from the plant.
I'm just waiting for a new shipment from Bowling Green and I can work a Wixom Trifecta

Who built your LS7
Mine was built by P.R. Sage
I gotta ask him (her) why I hear that sweet sound (sorta like when we put baseball cards in our bike spokes ).
Only in 2nd gear starts about 2500 RPM when I nail it. In third and fourth gear no more sound. It seems to come from the right side headers.
Has anyone else heard this sound??
Thanks Al

We had to do a custom x as they didn't have one yet.
No BS, the rears now spin from a ROLL in fourth gear.
Tried it three times just to make sure it wasn't dirty stretch of road.
Thanks to Carl Vargo and Jim Hall, that guy is great to deal with.
Not to say that Carl isn't great to deal with.
