Ahh, ok, for some reason I thought it was ice cream.

In and Out... plenty of stories from that place.

Was the dyno tuner eating and tuning at the same time?

No, I did the tuning. Scott's talking about when I blew up the stock motor. Don and I were heading out to get a burger, and of course you have to floor it getting on the freeway...... It broke a couple rods on the 2-3 shift; leaned out for a split second right as it shifted, and I didn't pedal it soon enough. It wasn't a tune issue, but it had maxed the injectors.

Sounds about right to me... Better to have to slow down and merge than speed up and merge I always say!

What was cool about Jody's engine ka-boom was that even with holes in the side of the block he drove it home!

That's about as cool as an engine failure can be anyways...

Man oh man did that make an oil mess under the truck. I still remember the mess all over the bottom of the truck and under your lift!

[Kris Horton]

I reckon he could have still beaten an import or two on the drive home to boot.

got this clean title 02 for 8k, this is the one dissassembled in the firebird pics, did a frame swap, added a 3/4 drop, bassani headers and exhaust, afco heat exchanger, pulleys, chip, and b coddington 20'' wheels...... should have it back on the road in a couple weeks.

Chris,

That's pretty slick, but what's up with the front bumper? Looks like it's off of a regular F-150...

As long as the supercharged 5.4's under the hood though, it's all good.

Kris,
Nice ride.

*Off topic question*
What performance upgrades did you do to the 94 camaro?

[Kris Horton]

The Z28 was pretty heavily modded. It ran a best of 13.30 at LACR, which is respectable for a 13 year old LT1 with 104K miles on it.

Mods were:
K&N Cold-Air kit
Edelbrock 50-state headers
Flowmaster muffler
QTP Electric cut-out
NGK spark plugs
MSD Ignition (opti-spark upgrade)
Hi-flow (read: gutted) cat
160 degree thermostat
Tuned PCM
Shift Kit
ZR1 Corvette wheels
LS1 Camaro (98-02) brakes
Eibach Springs

It also had a really nice stereo, but I don't count it as a mod really lol. It had 2 12" JL Subs in a custom carpeted enclosure, Pioneer door and rear speakers, Rockford Fosgate amp, and an Alpine head unit.

I picked up the car for $6K from a good friend of mine who took great care of it. I love that car, but it wasn't really all that practical, so I gave it to my dad to use as a daily driver (5 miles or so a day) since I knew he'd take good care of it.
