I'm with Marty on this one.

That's a really good action picture of the car.

SO the last two weeks before the Laguna Seca event a descision was made to convert Jake's 69 to an LS engine.. A LS7 conversion! We slammed this conversion in 2 weeks! and made the event.. Crate LS7 with the same cam we use in Blu Balz.. This car not now only handles but has the power to back it up! Jake finished 3rd place in the Auto-X behind Mike Maiers & Danny Popp! And also in the Speed Stop.. The road course he knocked down a 1.51!

Cris, what an accomplishment and testament to the skills of your crew! A 2 week swap and having the car do so well, I bet you are feeling great. Keep up the awesome work, I love watching the stuff you guys come up with.

Cris, you need to Machine some o-s**t bars for that car so you don't destroy the dash pads....and a fire system.

It was nice that the run group had the old Camaro's in it! It was pretty intresting riding in the pass seat..

We are not making it to Spring Mountain.. WOuld have liked too.. Maybe Laguna Seca in July

Was kinda cool, Tom in his 67 the 69, and our 71 all together on track.

Will it be going to spring mountain on the 17th?

I know that sum will think what is the big secret but it cost us some R&D to find the right combo that works for us in the LS7 for what we are doing.. The motor is just a basic LS7 crate motor with cam & works great.. But the motor will come out to change out to ARP fasteners, diamond hone, change pistons, & most important valves.. Stock LS7's are known for dropping valves..
