OP has a mid eleven ltd street car. This is the new super secret project, on a budget so no room for a TA block.


He just doesn't want to join the DOTC club.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Sorry. I tend to haze the newbies. I'll try to rein it in. Bullying Is frowned upon in these, the teens.

His car only has just over 11k miles. Hasn't driven it. That's  pretty new.

Wait a minute, a friend followed me 50 miles home in it. I smoked back then. That friend now owns a BBF pro stock pulling truck w/the largest cam/valve springs I have been around.

Mr Woods used to be a goat farmer, who had spent some time looking at the rising sun and had the ability to use seppuku in proper context.
Because I help setup dedicated race cars, I was able to give Grumpy comparison specifications between 2 gm transmissions in '09. He rewarded me with something called a headbang character. How did that th400 work out, Grumpy? A lux liner wagon?

gbsean, the Radius Kid, Mr Brown, Wendy, Zap + many others were on a different board then.
I am not a noob. I am an old fart who has lived my life with the curse of near perfect retention.

I'm still a goat farmer but I added hair sheep as well LOL and now it seems I am feeding them to coyotes and bobcats.  I will 77 on November 11 or Armistice Day which makes me one of the older goats on the place...

saying I'm sorry in 2 consecutive posts, I need to get to bed. You know what they say-

early to bed, early to rise-makes Jack a dull boy.

No reason to apologize. Get your rest. Tomorrow/today is here for the taking.

Nah not dedicated race cars !! Although Melissa is pushing it a little. (9.3s@144). Hopefully it gets better at BG . Mazda and the wagon are still here but the wagon is goin soon. Got a new truck so I don't use the wagon at all. Mazda is just a blast !! 400s ?? NO !! We still run 200R4s. :player: BUT she does a lot of racing up here so a 400 is in her future  :icon_redface: Oh you and this Steve guy are OLD  :rofl: This old age junk isn't working !! I work more now than I did when I had a job !! Welcome back.  :cheers:
