Yes, 1.286, Joey Abazia's B/SA stocker in New Jersey in conditions you will never see in the midwest. It my understanding you've been 1.32? I always enjoy watching your car run!

Same old story full of lies and half truths from the ebay engine builder.

Again, I've got no time to debate the same old sh_t with the same guy about a car that I sold 5 years ago, I've moved on long ago but for those that want to know the FACTS and the TRUTH, there's several threads here including this one...

http://classracer.com/classforum/showthread.php?t=40441

just do a post search on that guy.

Wrong again Ed, Joey's car ran at 3880, my 1.2 60 foots at altitude Chevelle runs at 3720 both on a 30x9 tires, both on production GM heads, I can only imagine what I would run at Atco. BTW your car never weighed 3880. Johns red Chevelle went 1.283 at 3600 even. And 1.2 60s are a figment of your imagination, this is why you crucify the people who have done it.

In my case, 1.28s at altitude, Joey's 1.286 @ Atco. John Wilson's 1.283 came with a ten inch tire. I also might ad I have a whole 56 passes on my car at this point.

The picture of your car looks familiar. Are you the guy that used to have the website (http://www.azzatochips.com) that copied and sold the Alf Weibe's GM A-Body suspension knock-off's?

No, thats not me, I dont run Alfs suspension, but Joey did. My car was formerly Scott Wellborns stocker, I bought it and went through it from bumper to bumper. I now use it to test my oval port big blocks.

X2! Sounds like a bunch of reality tv show about street racers.

I am pretty bored now that my racing is done for the year. Since this has become a Virtual Class Runoff of the mouth (or keyboard), can you guys at least do a virtual heads up run?
I say post honest specs on your car from the 2013 season and show us video and a verified picture.
Let us, ( the peanut gallery you invited) classify your cars and calculate what classesyou wouldrun in a Class Combo type class runoff! Show us the confirmed best timeslip from this year also that matches your video.

Oh, and by the way, bring your gaskets for the virtual teardown. I will have to warn you. No wally unless you can go at keast. 5 under!

Come make this at least something about a REAL Performance race! LOL.

I recently purchased the global west bushing kit with billet upper shafts. stock style.
I was looking at the afco site but find no mention of tall ball joints for GM A and F bodies 64-72, 67-69 respectively. Are they available?
It appears A and F body share the same upper ball joints, thanks Chris

found these on jegs
Proforged 101-10016 - Proforged Tall Ball Joints
