    You guys are way off base. I thought the new owner would have chimed in by now.

    I wonder if Jeff still has that car and why he has not sold it if he does indeed still have it? I think he still works at Dell and lives in Round Rock. Does anyone here still talk to him? I have an e-mail address but have not talked to him in about five years.

    I picked up Steve Mulders 4th Gen Camaro.

    I tried years ago to buy Wirtz but he wasn't interested. Heard a comment around the track one day a year or so ago that someone new was getting Wirtz car but no idea if that ever happened.

    Wirtz car is still in Wirtz's hands. I have a buddy who knows Wirtz that has gone back and forth about getting it, but it is still a CMC1 spec so it needs everything except the tub and cage. He says that is a lot of money to drop to "only" have 260 HP. He'd be better suited to AI or AIX, but the fields are too small.

    Jerry, are you talking about Nick Runyon's old car? If I recall, it made a couple of track appearances around 2013 and then disappeared?
    Or...I have been out of the loop for a Looong time, didn't someone recently pick up Kellam's car?

    Jeff's car would only have 230hp.

    Urbanski bought both of those cars. He sold Runyons car I believe going to Kansas and now he is running Kellams.

    Man the dyno on Steve's LT1 looks awesome so I'll be questioning whether I swap it in the fall. Anyone want to buy a white LS1 CMC Camaro?

    Since when does any LT1 dyno look awesome? All of them I have seen peak out the torque long before getting good horsepower. I completely opened the exhaust and it had no effect. The OEM CAM is just wrong for 260/310. If it does have a good ratio I'd bet it has a cheater CAM in it.

    If you could lower the total output somehow other than a restrictor it'd be spot on. Mine peaks on the Dyno as soon as I crack the gas. Unrestricted torque peaks a in the 4000 range.
