my pig is going in the 11's or blowing up, one or the other. :shock:

I'm gonna make a couple joos passes as soon as I get to the trac, while the weather is still good and the track has some teeth.

After that I have a new 600 DP holley, my old set of Cox rockers, and some degree plates for the rear axle to experiment with on motor. :D

Maybe I can actually get this turd to shine after all. :roll:

There's an orange '71 Camaro I want to go after too. He was running low 14's on spray last time we were there. :lol: 377" small block. :roll:

:oops: Okay "Zilla, lemme see if I got this right: There's this dude at the track with a stroker small block Camaro runnin' low 14's ON THE BOTTLE. I screwed together a 360 out of leftovers in the shop and stuck it in an all steel Volare' wagon. It's a dish piston motor ( about an 8:1 cr ) that'll run on flat beer. It'll go 13.50's all day. I haven't had the hood off it in six months. "I don't care who ya are, thats funny right there...." Kick his butt !!! RICK

I'ts supposed to be a high of 77 today and cloudy all day. This pig should have some wheels under it. :shock:

I have a 3" Magnaflow system under the car courtesy of Jeff Long at Trickpipes.com. The car really sounds awesome. :twisted:

14's on spray with a 377 small block stroker??? C'mon. Sounds like you have a camaro to humiliate!!! I have seen 318's far more powerful as well!! An underated motor IMO..

Put that slant in the winners circle!! Go for it!!

Maybe Topeka ?? I don't think you can get a better track than Heartland Park (ask your bud Mike ) Anyhow-- hope you venture down to the land of Toto (the dog) & I can watch the foggy mist fly from the slanted man from Chicago-- Besides you really need to test it's limitations!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to try Topeka, but I really can't travel that far next weekend. I may get to 41 next weekend for some T&T. :shock:
