I am switching to the PP adjustable long style sintered iron race style clutch for my track car and having issues with the TOB bearing length and the stock ball and fork for my stockish T-56. All I have really done to the T-56 is switch to the 26 spline input shaft and I have the McLeod input...
Just your everyday daily driver doing 12.9 in this new movie from last year. The motor is stock, the tune is mine, the rear suspension has been stiffened and upgraded and I have Nitto DR's. This is from a Wednesday Street night at LVD from last May. I made two more passes that night before my...
I'm not bragging but I think 12.9 with a Full Weight stock LS-1 is pretty darn good. Yeah my Terminator is faster, that is not the point, my 99 has blown me away with what I have been able to do with Computerized EFI modern and totally behaved muscle. To me roll racing is ghey and you really...
Not done yet but I am starting to understand how to handle hitting the tires real hard with a stick launching at the limiter. I am running 11.0, 11.1 more consistently with my eaton in hot air. Most 60 fts are around 1.52 - 1.56 with one 1.51, but I have to keep 12+lbs in the tires so I am...
**VERY LONG POST WARNING** If you want the pictures, just skip the BS and go to bottom.
Sometimes the simplest minor miscalculation or two or three can really bust your balls, but we all know that right.
I was using a 26" tire on 16"x10 Bogarts on my stock IRS that I had made and was told...
SOOO much to do yet, this is just one of many more shakedown passes. I'm having lots of trouble going from a 26x10.5 to 28x12.5 tire but I had to concentrate on the tune for the first 2 trips to the track, hopefully I am finishing that phase up. This is my last pass from my 3rd day at the track...
Will the stock ones work in a pinch? One on my new 60lbers came apart on me at the track so I'm looking to get my hands on a couple ASAP, if you know somebody that will ship them to me it would be appreciated.
It is finished finally and back in the garage, only need to tune it now. The beautiful 3" StainlessWorks tailpipes and 14" mufflers had to go with the IRS. But the custom fabbed over axle replacement sewer pipes aren't exactly too shabby. After the MRC roll-control was welded to the 9" Moser...

Waiting on shortened StainlessWorks Hi-Flo Turbo 3" straight thru mufflers and some 3" 180* and "J" bends to fab up 3" over the axle exhaust so the only other issue left for me to finish before heading to the track was how I was going to datalog this year without a laptop. The only electronic...
I was thinking about going with a 15" rear drag wheel, now that it is an option, just not sure if I want to go for the Bogarts again. I have 16x10 Bolted RT's with the 6" backspace, but they worked with the IRS. It looks like I can go with the 15" now so I started investigating the fit with my...
Pair of 13.0's in 2nd and 3rd pass ever in this stock LS-1
My 99SS is a 6-speed stock LS-1 with 4.10 gears and Nitto DRs
My track car is a Cobra, this is my fair weather DD and cruzier
Just drove it again for the first time since December, felt real good after 3 mos
These last...
Ultimate LS-2 59 Vette project update: the Pulleys and Accessories
If you peeked in on this 59 Vette rebuild to modern project before in my prior threads you would know it was intended as a different approach to rebuilding one of the great classic's. The expensive pulley and dressing kit had...
2 more 99SS vids - 10/8 13.2 - 10/14 13.0
My 99SS is a 6-speed stock LS-1 with 4.10 gears but original clutch and Nitto DRs
First ever pass on the 1st Day to the track with the 99SS! Babying the clutch and trying to figure
out how to get the Nitto DRs to hook with the 4.10s...
Last of 3 movies from 10/15 13.3 @ 105
My 99SS is a 6-speed stock LS-1 with 4.10 gears and Nitto DRs
This is my 3rd & last day a the track for 2006 and the cool air presented
more problems with my tune and lack of hook than it gave me an advantage
with HP. Still trying to figure out...

Ultimate LS-2 59 Vette project update: the Frame
If you peeked in on this 59 Vette rebuild to modern before in my prior thread you would know it was intended as a different approach to rebuilding some of the great classic's, no offence to purists or collectors intended. If this Resto Rod is...
Had this to do for a long time, finally the movies of my new to me 99SS's first couple trips to the track. This one is from the very last day of the year the track was open, weather cancelled the weekend after this one. It was second pass of October 15th, 8th official track pass for the 99SS...
Not my car, I could only wish, I have all to afford a 99 SS and a track Terminator. I setup a website for the guy who did a lot of the work on my Cobra and I uploaded a pic by pic illustration of his hand built 6sec certified tube chassis race car he built for himself last winter. It has gotten...
Here are some of the last shots of the interior, just waiting on the anti-roll bar set-up from Miller Race Cars and then the mufflers and tail pipes can be fabbed followed by testing and tuning at the track. Not really coming to grips with the reality the 16 mos project is finally winding down...
This includes every single thing I took off my Cobra to install a 9" except the calipers. The rotors are there along with all mounting hardware, uncut original springs, ABS sensors, shocks, Steeda brace as well as the stock 3.55's and the stock catbacks with only 500mi. The 4.10's were...
That and how about some nighttime gauges pics!!
The ones I took with the rocker switches all lit for "CC ARM" "IC PUMP" "NOS HEAT" "NOS ARM" were still screwed up? I give up, you can get a good idea with these pics and eventually you will see them all along with my LM-1, air duct shift...
The interior and trunk is mostly back together, bottle is mounted at a 30* angle and I just got the NX Fire&Ice controller so that is the last of the pieces for the trunk and it is starting to look bad ass. I think I found a spot for the controller, not sure:
The fan looks like it is...
