With a recent engine rebuild and either a blower or turbo, new gears (you'll need them 
), the new house payment, etc, that check probably won't be for too much 
I say you're car is screaming for an F1 with 12-15# boost and a 50 shot to hold me off once My bottom gets forged--you can keep your license plate too!
Still can't wait to line'em up at the strip once it's together.
I'll be up at QSL this weekend, but not in the vette..............it's in BOS transformation

Trust me the bill comes every month for it. I don't have the piece of mind you do with a tow rig and trailor though. When you have to pull 4k out to fix your car unexpectedly, you have to let the racing go for a while

Think I'm staying with just 12# for now as I'm using z06 ported heads. The dish pistons bring my CR down to 9.5:1 but more than 12#'s and I stand a chance of lifing my heads. Now when I eventually go with the AFR thick deck 225cc heads then 18 lbs would not be a problem.
BOS Transformation.....hmmmmm....so what show are you doing before the Autofair??

Have you ever got a chance to try out those new race tires yet??

Andy--I got a tranny, stall, and tranny cooler in place of the race tires/wheels. Getting them to and fro was the biggest issue though.
Rick-- :lol --calling you out on this one. Leave your KDs on there and let's see what happens. To compare times with Rcompound and street tires is apples to oranges. Sorta like what it will be like when you get use to 12# and my new set up comes along
Competing with "NITRO(less)C5 in Best Of Show isn't hard either if the judges know what to look for, but that's apples to oranges too

Rick I am surprised More was able to get to your car down there this past week. I know my car has had them baffled all week on the dyno with no signs of figuring out what is holding the car back.
But I did see your car down their yesterday and it looked about ready to go.

Auto Fairs are your baby Mark...do wha'cha want. If you want concorse judging it's ok by me...just thought we were "more" than clean cars.
