So it looks like i'm going to have to pull out of this one last minute because my car is out of commission. I have a whole thread about whats going on on the LS2GTO forum.

But overall, I have a broken bolt in the exhaust manifold from when I did a header install. I removed the head and took it to a machine shop and they destroyed it! Besides them trying to sell me the wrong head, them being (Westchester Crankshaft), I have a mangled bolt hole with the bolt still stuck in my original head, valves and springs in a separate box because they would not put them back. My motor is still in pieces on one side and dont have the tools to put the springs or exhaust valves in. I doubt i will have it ready this weekend.
Though I may meet up with anyone showing up at the church to have a quick catchup with you guys. Have fun if its still going on and no rain.
And Undertaker, i thought you got a standard CTS for some reason, I thought it was suppose to be a daily driver. But hey, if its a cts-v, that is awesome. Its the ls2 block or the newer ls3SC blocks?

......You have an LS2 in your C4.........I wanted to do that since I bought my car but I just don't have the money or experience to do it myself.
Don't get me wrong Lt1 is great engine, but hell the LS2 is a beast.
Can the ZF Tranny handle the LS2? will it even bolt onto that engine? or will i have to get another transmission?

I'm postponing this if there is even a chance of rain, I don't mean to sound like a stuckup but, my car has never been driven in rain and I don't plan on starting this weekend.

40% chance here in Philly too. But that's down from the 75% it was yesterday. I don't mind driving in the rain, but if it gets postponed I can make the rain date so I don't care either way.

Matt, Unless they are calling for a hurricane I would not cancel this. My experience in doing events such as this is if we lived by weather forecasts we'd never do anything. There are a lot of members here that will drive in the rain. Most of the group from the Philly area will be there rain or shine.

60% chance it won't rain

Alright fine I wont cancel but if around the time of the run it looks like rain im just going to go in my V6 camaro... and if it does rain and people don't come, who knows maybe we can schedule another run next week.
