Hey Grenade!!

That was me coming back up from Des Moines!!

I was at that gas station when you came rodding through there......I stopped pumping my gas early so I could get out of there and catch up to you.

I'd link you over to the www.contour.org so you can see my profile but I just edited it and it's getting approved.

Talk to you later!!

E-Mail me at mikeg@qccrubber.com or call me at 612-964-1384 and we can hook up anytime you want.....preferably after 5:00.

Later.

IIRC the 98's go 15.7 in the 1/4......as for mine I'm not quite sure Grenade....based on what some other guys are running with close to the same setup.....I think I can break into the high 13's.......maybe.....after some practice possibly mid-13's....I could be way off on this so no flaming if I am. I hadn't planned on putting it on the track......I'm still trying to TS some problems...until that's resolved I won't know. I'm putting it on a dyno when I go to Spring Zing (CEG gathering) in Fort Wayne, IN in May.

Almost two seconds faster than stock! wow you must have a lot of mods. Any advice on making my 93 5-speed Sho faster. I have a catback,k&n screen out airbox out. g-tech- 14.7 at 95. not too bad. Car weighs 3380 bone stock, everything in the car.

If you want to make your SHO faster go to

www.shoshop.com

They have tons of stuff on there as far as upgrades. They also have horespower and torque numbers to show what you can expect from the packages.

Yea I've been waiting for them to make their beefer ATX motor mounts for 2 years. The guy I talked to said it would be another month as they were testing the prototypes... yea well looks like they've been testing the prototypes for 2 years then.

I have never ordered stuff from them, I've just heard good things about their products.

FYI, as far as I know, SHO Shop went out of business as they were bought out by another company.
