Good to hear! Plenty of time to sweat the details before the shootout too!

Thanks!
Yes its the sjm line lock and abs delete. Should be a mid 9 car on a 200 hit and my kit is good for 300. Wont know until I get it to the track a few times though. Feels much faster on the street then my old combo did NA and the tune is off.

Nice, I'll say last year I had my setup all figured out by the time the shootout came and it made the event much more fun! It's always good when you get that first startup and there's oil psi and with no crazy noises!

The last two shootouts were the same deal with totally different set ups. It really sucked!!! Not gonna happen this time! Ya it fired right up with the base tune:) Look forward to seeing you there!

Always been a Fomula hardtop guy. First new car was a 96 Firebird (couldnt afford a Formula), 2nd was a 97 Formula , 3rd was a 00 Formula and now the 96 WS6 that has just shy of 34k on it. All them are hardtops. Bought this one about 4 years ago Stock with 26k on it and looks like it was the 2nd or 3rd Formula WS6 ever made :) Then started tearing it apart lol. 96 Formula WS6 was my Dream car back when I bought the first Firebird just after HS.
