Kevin,

El Rei is trapping in the 1/8 what my Xfire did at the 1/4.

I am sad to say the C6 guys from Crown Point are going to get off easy....we noticed the balancer is not looking good and I decided I can't risk racing the car until it is fixed. New one wont be in until next week....and the weather looks darn good for Saturday. I hope FBI can pull out the victory sans #2870.....yeah that 1/8th mile trap is faster than my quarter mile trap from my TPI F-body that ran high 12s back in the day. I'm very confident with better traction (my 60 ft was about 0.10 off my best), the car can get 10.30s as it sits right now, given the right conditions.

Ah! Sooo nice to see that BEAST back on the road, Kevin!! Damn to bad about the balancer tho.. The FBI sure could use one of those 10.4 traps to go against the LSx and now a couple C7 LTx's too, I hear!

Well, hoping to see you at least, Kevin!

(I wonder if Pete's car is going to be ready??)

Kevin's car is a beast.
We tried something new on the heads seems like it helped.
If this Z had an M6 it would go 2 MPH faster over the AUTO.

This car idles n drives so nice you would never think it's a 10 second Z till you go WOT it explodes.
We should name it LiL Thunder or Zeus.

Kevin you might need to order a parachute soon.
Pete
