Biggest updates on the last 5 pages or so!
Car will be fired up as today or tomorrow 4-12/4-13 2011!!



Hey everyone!, Well im sure some of you have seen my other threads and my car before, but for those who has not, im gunna give you a quick preview My season has come to an end. My last track day was 2 weekends ago with the car going the best of 9.76@142. My best 60ft to date is 1.42! I would have to say this season was a complete blast, had so much fun going to the track, racing, and just simply driving the car around. The shootout this year was one of the best weekends in my life, and I cant wait till next August, cant come soon enough. I went 10.0 at the shootout. the car was street tuned on 110. That was my best pass of the day, and in the first round, I raced John Shepard and lost in the Evo elimator class. It was awesome to race and be apart of the event. Since then the car had some changes, switched to E85, ETS 4" FMIC, STM 3" UICP, and did a little bit of weight reduction. Got it retuned and made 600 on a mustang dyno and went to the track after the shootout and went 9.93. Since then I went faster everytime at the track which lead up to my 9.76 pass. Car is so consistent and just ran flawlessly.

Before i go any further theres a few people i would like to thank. First off is Strictly Modified. These guys has done an amazing job for me. Been going to them for almost 4 years now and its been a great relationship with them and I couldnt be any happier with the car. All the long nights at the shop working on the car, and going to every track outing this year means alot. I recommend you guys give them or call or simply stop in there and see them, there point u in the right direction with the car and do excellence in work I also would like to thank Devin Shultz (Devin Tuned) for tuning my car this year. Devin has been tuning my Evos since 07 and its been nothing but success. The car is tuned perect. I also like to thank him for coming to the track and helping me out Quarter Master asked if i can test out there new prototype clutch thats recently has just came out on the market. I agreed and been using the clutch for a couple months now. Awesome clutch and i love it. I will never put any another clutch in my car. Spark Tech ignitions i have to thank for making a great product and they sent it to me asap in time for the shootout this past year. Recently i was put in there showcase and the spark tech family is great people and I look forward for the results and times next year with their awesome ignition system I know it was a long thanks lol but i have to give the respect and thanks where it due.

The build has started already. Sunday night we took the turbo kit off in prep for the new setup. The car is being dropped off at SM next week and the motor will be coming out.

UPDATE! The weather was horrible in Chicago today you guys, like real bad. It was warm but terrible with rain and thunderstorms. I managed between that to get my car loaded on the trailer and get it to Strictly Modified. I got there and it was down pouring. So we thought we would wait a little bit and let it die down. Well the tornado sirens went off and i checked the radar and there was Red on the radar coming right at us. So we went out there in the pouring rain and unloaded the car. We were all soaking wet Thanks to the guys at SM for helping me get it off. We got it off in literally 5 minutes in the lighting and hard rain. Now the car is there for the new setup and everthing I took a quick pic nothing special, but there will more and more pics everyday updated on here. There will be more pics this week to come, Stay tuned!!!

 

That camaro race was bad ***! Sick win! Look forward to the results from the new build. High compression FTW!

 

Hell yes!
