So what's everyone doing for 2012? :)

My Plans are to get a few issues fixed on the truck, then get a baseline in the 1/4. After that I have some parts that I would like to finally install.

I'm pretty excited that our local track is reopening in 2012. I have a couple issues to fix also. Looking at going with a billet 66 turbo of some sort, finding a block to gradually build next year also. Maybe throw some cal tracs and a straight centerlink or Tony's brace up front. Can't wait to race this beast down the 1/4. It's been my puller for 2 years. Hope to race and pull next year.

I would like to finally install my fuel cell (in stock location), add my 2nd cp3 (where AC used to be), I need to get my S400 rebuilt bigger and better so that Evan can have his turbo back and get it on his build, and then I need to get a 6-point cage installed. I don't know where all teh money will come from to do this, and it surely wont get done early in the winter, but I think I can get it done in time for when the tracks open up

Getting rid of that POS Bighead wastegate that a) doesnt work as advertised, b) is almost impossible to adjust while at the track, and c) doesnt give as much boost as the stocker with a PPE boost valve did. Best I could get this year was 28-29 when last year was always 32-33.

My truck is going back to stock so I can keep saving for the 1/2 ton shortbox 2wd project truck. My current drivetrain will go into that, and I'll find an LBZ/6spd for BBT. Thats the plan, anyway.

Building the motor, refreshing the tranny ( I limped my super steller ats tranny the end of last season :mad:), dual fuelers, gt55. I don't think i'll have everything I'll need to reach my track goals for spring but atleast the motor and tranny will be ready and the rest won't be far behind.

Depends on what the mutual funds do throughout the winter (not looking good right now), but early spring first comes the transmission that I have needed to build for well over a year (stocker is begging mercy). Then will come a short block build and an S475 single and some fuel mods. Goal is 650-700 HP by the end of the summer. wOOt
