Going back to my roots....

[Evil Goat]

Evil Goat - Please tell me that chouston already bought the nitrous kit from you. I'm hoping that he puts the car back to the state that you had it in.

I have a question about your old car - is the GTO caged? If not, how did you brace the Kirkey in there? Also, how many punds did the seats weigh in the car? Did you see an improvement in your ET from removing it? The reason that I am asking is that I tried it on another car of mine, and couldn't see an improvement at all in my times (maybe a tenth at most). Now, on one of my road race cars, every pound counted, as the lateral force on the tires was very important.


chouston - DO NOT let the wheels and tires get sold out from under you. Go get them now - and anything else he has that you can come up with the money for. You can thank me later for pushing you on this.

A cage was the next thing on the list...i bought the seat on the way home from vacation at summit since I was passing by, got the harness from Jimmy, and we were going to do a cage over the winter...so the seat was never installed, nor was the harness.

the nitrous kit was sold a local 240sx owner and the cai was sold to some guy in NY

and I'm just sayin.....I spent $1158 unmounted on the wheels....first $650 gets 'em

p.s. http://www.ls1gto.com <--------------everything you need to know....all of the 9 second guys post regularly in the drag racing forum, Jan with the black auto GTO running 9's, built by Vengeance, is a regular poster there as well

and yes removing the seats alone couuld save a tenth...i went 11.5's on full interior, i removed the gas tank brace, the skid plate, pass seat, and rear seat and went 11.3's

Ok, thanks for that feedback. I knew the Kirkey mounts to the crossbar, and was trying to figure out how I could safely mount one in my foxbody at the track - I'm not putting a cage in the car. Thinking about making my own crossbar like some of the brace/harness bars that I have seen at RA for road cars.

So, with all that work, chouston might be able to claim 2 tenths back - that might be worth it then, especially since you have sold the nitrous kit, and I'm guessing that he is planning to try to take me down with all motor. I can't let that happen - I'd never hear the end of it.
