I know its tax time but...
even though I don't own a Buick, why is everyone thinking of selling? By the end of the year Brent and I will be the only ones wasting money on "go-fast" parts and we'll be visiting the rest of you guys on LS1TECH.com

That sux...I like competition and sh!t talking (duh)
 Pull those big heads off and you'll have no more worries. I ran 10.0's on stock unported heads and stock block for years until I bought the GN1's. Second outing at Irwindale it went boom...I was running the same times with 10psi less than before. Guess the motor felt the difference

I know I agree with Mike on this one...I'm having more fun with my Limited, and based on what I've done with my GN since '94 I think I can safely say I won't be repeating the experience on the blue car any time soon.

I suspect that this was the case with you all along. It was your wife that forced it upon you.She was never happy with the 11's.Always demanded more. Even insulted your tiny manhood in public. I also blame Neal for some of this.They both conspired against you. When you were vulnerable. Now your beaten down broke & pushed to your limits. I have experienced this also. But if it weren't for the support of this group I shudder to think of where I would be now. Especially The warmth & kindness that I have recently experienced has overcome me with emotion.Just remember your not alone.I think I will stop by the church on my way to work & light a candle for you & nordy.I have concern also for Mark,Brent & now Andrew they have chosen to dance with the devil. The 10's be damned! Last edited by turbolou : January 25th, 2007 at 10:25 AM.

It seems as if Chevota is on to something. As of late the SD GN guys rarely get together anymore and it seems as if life's other issues have taken center stage. Personally, I cannot get enough of TR's. I now have 3 and they all require time and money (neither of which I have).
I actually have two F-body Rad/dual fan conversion set-ups, a KB FMIC, a B&M Trans cooler, lightweight bumper support, body braces, all for the TR's. A new turbo/ fuel rail, injectors, and fuel pump for my WRX, a couple of misc. items, all sitting on my bench. (no time to play lately) At this point I have seriously contemplated selling everything in order to handle other issues and maybe come back later on. It's hard to even think about doing so but it is a possibility...

I still can't believe you sold that ttype, that was a nice one. I like that one better then the white t a while back.Anyways, the board looks dismal if you choose to look at it that way. But what I see is opportunity. Things will get better in the future. This board hits a few bumps but will survive and thrive. What doesn't kill us will make us stronger! Besides, we have a dyno day coming. Be sure to thank BRENT for setting it up! It will be fun!Last edited by XxDarkSidexX : January 25th, 2007 at 07:09 PM.

I'm trying to get my sense of humour back. Yes Morgan & Nordy both were under all this pressure to go fast.I just want all of us to feel their pain. It's a good thing they aren't in the 9's I think they would completely fall apart. I wonder if their is some government sponsored program to help them through this tragedy. Lou
