I hope we get some snow! I wanna bring the Evsnow out to play. Even though it really needs a timing belt. It's at 67,000 miles, and its supposed to be replaced at 60k. Been hearing reports of them breaking at 70,000. Too close for comfort. Gotta scrape together some money.

my wife was telling me about that storm front earlier this evening. I grew 2 streets over from BPacak and my wife is staying in the area until I get to Colorado. You all have fun with that, its supposed to cool down to the low 60s upper 50s down here. I'm not gonna lie, I was home for Christmas and it was cold as hell then.

Thanks! Yup that's me on dogwood. My clutch is slipping though because the slave is leaking fluid on the clutch. 4l80 is going in within the next 2 months.
It definitely is a small world. Timmy and I just made a summit run today. Back in the day I used to have an ss/sc.

I went 11.56 with a cam, intake manifold, and cutouts.
Car was down for 90% of the summer getting the turbo stuff done. We switched to a turbo cam, did ARP head studs and the turbo is a Borg warner 78mm on a T6 flange. 4L80 is going in within 2 months so it should be pretty quick for a stock bottom end, hopefully good enough for the GTO stock bottom end record. Will have to keep it around 600rwhp for now, when the motor gives up or next winter which ever comes first I will pull the motor and we will put in a forged bottom end.
Here is an "under construction" picture.

Does anyone go to many of the shows around here in the summer? Like shepherds or chillis? There is no GTO crowd around, I work in pittsburgh and we have a large group up there, but I hate driving an hour to go do anything.
