while it was all apart! I had great help from Vince over at Meanstreets Performance and he showed me how to use a really cool pressurization tool and change out the valve springs! along with his comp cams tool, awesome GM performance springs, after a quick lesson, it was my turn, I did get it down to about 5min per cylinder(2 springs)

your missing a few, go to sleep man!!

That door is SCREAMIN an OPTIMA decal!!! You got the skills and you should be there at least once...

I did get to watch the OPTIMA cars leave the convention center last nite, i soooo wanted to go to the challenge but i've been gone two weeks (anniversary) and just cant get the time to go. BUt my good friends who were here with me at SEMA were kind enough to show me their tickets....and one of their new employees gets to go and hes not into at all, oh the injustice of life hahahaha....

Got to wish James and Mary good luck today....

Same to you, good luck in Pleasanton today....

Mike

a white real world car will never get invited to Optima, just the truth. Its a shame, Rod can kinda drive.

Maybe one day he can build a car to compete at that tier.

Just read thru your whole thread on PT yesterday at work.. great job, keep it up!

Theres always the qualifiers...plus, all we have is hope lol
