She's Alive!
Well, did a crazy amount of stuff today, finished the fuel system, tested it for leaks, installed the alt bracket that halpin water jetted, installed the intake/throttlebody and the up pipe from the intercooler, ran all the wires for the new distributer, installed new tstat neck since the other one runs into the new hyme joint tensioner, connected, double checked, triple checked, finished the gauges in the interior, wich work great and i dont have a pic doh. Lots and lots done, ulitmately ended in us trying to fire the car, it being 180 out like always, then fixing it and firing it up, and ryan has a nice stiff idle tuned already, tomorrow it goes out on the street and possibly on the dyno...

Bike parts
I got all the parts to rebuild my bike thursday, I put the piston together and installed it, and slid on the new cyl block and found the difference between 05-06 cyl blocks and 03-04 cyl blocks, oil squirter relief's cut into the block, the 03 doesnt have em so it hits the squirters and wont sit flush, so i will have to get that machined before i can go any farther, yeah well, gives me more time to help out with getting the rusty going..

Island March 22nd, Corey Sets New Unported IRS 6spd Record.
Today corey picked me up to goto the track at about 8am, there was snow on the ground in my yard, haha. He had already talked to someone at island and they said the weather was clear and there was no water or snow on the ground, It was starting to get sunny already at 8am. By the time we got up there the sun was bright and the temp was in the mid 40s. The shelby guys came and corey lined up for his first pass, he cut a 1.52, missed third and still went 11.3, not bad at all. Next run out he went 10.94 @ 124, new record pretty awesome, car went 1.48 60ft and he said it felt like it had more in it. He lined up again and went 1.48 again and ended up running 10.88 @ 125mph, best time ever, and also a new record for IRS, unported eaton, 6spd car. Here is a TON of pics from today, and ill be uploading video of coreys runs separately and the days runs.

The Twin 88 69 Camaro is back!
Finally after some pistons, cams, getting the turbo kit coated, fuel system install all the bells and whistles i dont even know about, the car is back... and ready to be tuned. Tonight they could only make a 10psi pull, the car made 1250rwhp and was spinning the tires over 8000rpm... 17psi pulls were attempted, and people were stuffed in the back of the car haha, but to no avail, more updates and video of this awesome project when i can. For now enjoy the pictures and dyno pulls from tonight.

First Day at Island
Corey and Donovan went to island for the first time of the season, I couldent go so no pics or video im sorry, Donovan went 10.75 @ 127 1.55 60ft and was happy with the flawless pass, and decided to quit before his flexplate breaks. Corey went 11.00 @ 127mph 1.50 60ft, pretty damn awesome for the first time out of the season. His goal is to work that down to a 1.4x 60ft area and go 10.8x.
