I'm pumped as hell. I brought my car to my tuner last night and we found theres some power hiding in there! Did some baseline/stock tune wot runs and found she's running pretty lean. 14.5-15.0:1 with the stock tune. And I'm only getting max timing at 26 degrees and its coming in around 4500 rpm. I can't wait to see how she runs with the tune. Goin for 12's when i go to the track on the 8th. I previously ran [email protected] with the stock tune, a shady trans, and 17's on the front. This time around I'm puttin skinny's on the front, takin my sway bar out, fixed the second gear problem and gonna have the tune done. I'm hopin that I can get a solid 12 second run.
BTW, my car is getting tuned by a guy who used to be an engineer for SLP who happens to be my buddies next door nieghbor. I think the car is in very good hands!
Here's a quick pic of him doin his magic.

I race at Island Dragway, its a small track but I love it and its only 15 minutes from me. Me and my buddies are going down. A 11 second nitrous car, a 9 second nitrous car and a bunch of other cars are gonna be there. I'm going for a 12.8 but who knows what she'll run. I heard 2 tenths from skinny's can be had. But I guess we'll see.
