Who's from Iowa?

[gofastl]

Its still cutting out, I called lund up the other day and we came to an idea it might be the aftermarket coils. But the thing is I dont remember where I put those sob stockers at.

 

[zeus201]

Sucks aftermarket coils may be the issue. Tell what also blows all this rain, can't drive the car with damn DR. Need to swap to something else ones next year.

 

[gofastl]

Yeah aint that the truth got nitto dr on, if I take it easy they do all right but once I goose it Iam sideways. Found some gms coils Iam going to try to get those and swap them out for those and see. U fix ur x pipe yet, LOL.

 

[zeus201]

Nope, been waiting for the rain to stop so that I can take it down to Lund's' and have everything welded. I haven't driven the car in days know, going to try to take it out tonight.

I just talked to my buddy and he said he could put some tack welds on after work tomorrow night or Sat but he is leaving for Chicago on Sunday. I wouldn't want the exhaust to be welded up full because if you ever want to take it apart it would suck. We could adjust it where it needs to be and then put 2 or 3 good tacks on it.

Give me a call if you want to do this so I can plan for it. It will cost a lot less than lunds (maybe a 12pk for the welder). Tightening up the X with some lock tight shouldn't be a problem either. When I was working on my Tahoe last night I found my Red Thread Locker.

I found out that Iowa Speedway is having a car show / drag strip will be open this Sunday. I am going for sure and perhaps might toss the car in the show. I haven't decided if I'm going to run the car down the strip. However I think if people aren't doing anything that day we should all meet up and down together.

I'm for sure going. The people Lund's are also going which will be cool to see Chris run.

 

[03snkvert]

I am thinking I will probably go! Have to discuss with the Wife and make sure we don't have anything else planned. I may even put the car in the show even though the fender is a little dark, we'll see.

If we do this we could meet in Altoona and roll to Newton!

Cooll... keep us informed if you move up here!

 

[gofastl]

Well I wont make it to iowa speedway, I just vented my block. It was a good run though, LOL. Time to put the build block in now!

 

[03snkvert]

Ouch.... That sucks!

 

[gofastl]

If anyone know where a stock 5.4 short block is, PLEASE, let me know. I had to show a firebird formula how a farm truck does it. Those nitto dr's sure as s*@t hooked with 36 pounds of air in them.

 

[03snkvert]

I will do some checking!
