Been a while
The Mitsubishi GS-T is long gone, the daughter bought it at a very discounted rate, then she sold it and the guy has now burned up the clutch and I've been busy doing many other things.
But I do know that some of you like muscle cars and I'll give an update. My daughter that had the Eclipse GS-T is now engaged to a guy that is working with my best friend and the fiance is Prostreeting a S-10 truck, and he is doing it in another buddy's shop and he is working on his Prostreet '67 Mustang and has a naturally aspirated 700hp small block Ford, not ****. I just bought around a 675hp to 700hp 489ci big block for my Prostreet '72 Camaro that is a ways from being done but I just gave my buddy the green light to go ahead and work on it since I do not have the time, hopefully done by the middle of summer to go racing. I haven't really worked on it for about 6 years.
The big block has Edelbrock 340cc Victor heads, ported, matching and ported Super Victor Dominator Intake, 14:1 Compression with a smaller than should be cam but will work for now, Comp Cams belt drive, Lunati crank and rods, stainless comp cam rollers and it appears to have Lunati solid roller lifters. This motor with the right cam may be able to pump up to 750hp or so, but I'll have to buy a stud girdle to get there, and not this year. The cam is currently too small for the intake and head flow.
And some of you may remember the car, it has been in two magazines and hasn't even had brake lines ran, but it does have a good stance.
And the Chevy Luv is getting a new cam to make it around 800hp, the motor is being hot tanked and new rings and things. We tried to get on Pinks All Out but ran too fast. We ran a 9.6 in the quarter and our other friend was running constistant 9.5's with the Chevelle and they took mid 10's for the show.

^^^ I see in your sig, 12.8, very respectable. Most people think they've got a 12.8 street car and have no idea.
Any more racers on the board?
It's been so long the forum style has changed, I use to have a picture of the Mistubishi on the bottom and an avatar, no longer?

My 12.8 isnt bad but at a 109.9mph it should have been a mid to low 12sec pass but oh well. The forum has been through a bunch of changes that would explain the missing avitar.

60' times make and break good quarter mile times. I always felt like the old man around here, which I was. lol
I had to do everything possible to just read the posts and not give advice. Sometimes you learn better by making mistakes.

The avitar pictures shows the old GS-T in the signature page for set up but does not show out of set up, even after confirming the signature picture, what am I missing? It is the same small avitar size picture I used before.
