Took out the Camaro for a little spin (new carb and tires) Lets just say spinning tires takes a lot more effort now (MT DR's) and no pics for evidence :D

New carb (Demon/used) dialed right in and seat of the pants dyno says :eek:

Just need the track to open soon for some real numbers. (11.4's @ 117... per Gtech).

Hey Doug, glad your new years day ride was fun. Wish I could say the same. Trailering mine across town yesterday. (moving) Concentrating on keeping the trailer in back of me on the snow/ice. See those cheap a-- shelves in the back of my truck? After getting up to speed on the main hwy (about 40 or so) I hear a bang and look in my rearview to see them flying out of the back of my truck and hitting the camaro!! Not a happy man at that point. How could I be so stupid and not tie them down! Nice scar on the hood now!! Wife trying to console me with "it could have been worse" Dumb, dumb on my part for not tying them down. Wish I had just thrown them out!!

Damn... sorry to hear/see your hood... but yes could have been worse :yes:

Maybe you need to ask Santa for some tie-downs ? (or an inclosed trailer :D )
