  • Murd, More of a ReIntroduction

    Sorry guys and Gals. I havent been on in ages. been dealing with crap the autoindustry is going well we all know. Ive been laid off twice in 6 months. Which has basically murdered my Self esteem and what not. not to mention the Bank account. i havent been working on my car at all Over the past year and half the most ive done was move it around int eh barn and winterrize it (take the tires off put them in the basement) Ive been dealing with alot... Everyones got that F it point i hit mine. and just lost interest at one point in the car the community i kept in touch with some of you but the rest ive lost touch with. Heck i think the last time i talked to brian was a year ago almost. Yet alone seen him. Going from almost every day to Never huge change. But Im still looking for a job. It sucks majorly Unemployment pays like 1/3 of the bills the rest well ive got the joy of deciding which place i call and ask for more time on so not to default. its a major pain the bottom. But im managing. Anyway. I plan to be around more posting on here more often now. Its been a long time since my last post i posted the car up forsale Im hoping to regain my interest in it. so i can finish it and maybe make a 9 second pass this season. Heck just even get it Running this season.....

    But for those that dont know what ive got. i own two decent vehicles known to most on the website My 1500 GTX and well My F body....

    the F body

    93' firebird (v6) The body is a v6 body. the engine well thats a Gen 1 350 sbc bored .042" over Dart Iron Eagle Heads Milled .060 thou Compression at 11.5:1 Fully forged internals. cam is 244 252 57x 59x i have to look up the specs its on a 110 lsa. its a solid cam. this engines been made to hold the power presented through it.. the pistons have -5 cc reliefs. the head gasket is a .015 shim. to lower the chamber giving me the Comp ratio. Trick flow 1.6 Roller Rockers. I had Comps on there before but the pins were backing out freezing the rollers led to major problems athte track and on my valve stems. The engine is carbed HOLLEY 750 DP No Choke. Race setup. True Dual exhaust Glasspacks from the headers exiting right in front of axle. THe Trans is a TH350 Race built. With a 3600 10 inch stall. the Suspension is a v6 suspension shocks struts and springs. The LCAs are Mad Max Racing Offset LCAs. LPHR is a G2 Aluminum Racing PHR with alumin rod ends. fully adjustable. Torque arm- BMR track Pak. Boxed SFC's Tubular K-member. The Rear end is a moser 9 inch with 4.57 gears 35 spline axles and a spool. The vehicle has been Mini tubbed but i have yet to weld in the new Wheel wells i have The WOlfe Racing kit. The tires are 29.5x11.5x15. The vehicle has two fuel systems one for the Nitrous one for the engine. It has a 1 inch nitrous plate under the carb. The max shot is 300, 15lbs bottle. with heater electronic opener. all the works. I am sure ive left alot out but whats important is that im back in the community.
