I think there's a couple other little killer combos out there that I may keep under my hat for a little bit... Billy, do you still have the car I borrowed to drive back and forth between PA and Ohio? I think we figured that one to have a great deal of potential. I know another combo that will run the index completely untouched, which I think would have a huge amount of potential just by dropping the exhaust and putting a set of 20" M/T's on it... :rolleyes:

Have you ever seen Billy's headers? I wouldn't foresee a problem LOL. If I come across one for under $500 I'll throw Dad's back up 350 in it and see. The torque converters are the same correct?

Awright.... too fun! Check out an '05 Cobalt. I've seen them run 16.40's absolutely bone stock. I believe it runs FF/SA (16.30 index) in IHRA. Ran my fiance's at Rockingham once (albeit 1/8th mile), and went some rounds. Not a bad piece. They had the scales on, and I think it was something like 300# heavy! Tires (gear), exhaust off (weight *and* power), airbox, fuel, etc... stands to pick up a ton. I think it's a pretty good sleeper combination.

The only things that I changed were a fresh head gasket, a fresh turbo (the right one) and 20 X 8 M/Ts. In fact, it DID win class at Indy on a solo run.
Hi Billy. Actually it was 2004 (50th) Indy. ET was 14.22, for those keeping score at home. It did run 14.11 on the brakes at the Dutch that year. How are things up on the "ranch"?
