Yeah, I'm backpeddlin, which is why I put my phone number in the post to set something up. Take a look at the photo I attached if you have a hard time believing I have the car apart, lol. As for me whipping LS1's all the time...

I can't do much more. Posted my email address, I have a PM box, posted my phone number, let people know as soon as I could set something up.

The 3 for 5 thing isn't any good from a stop, anyway. Cops in Anoka County or even Hennepin County are going to be all over the place after 2 runs. By the 4th run we'd be in the back of a squad car, lol. If we're going on the freeway, chances are a lot better to avoid detection in that regards. 169 is a no-no. Heavily patrolled by Champlin and Brooklyn Park cops, except maybe the section between 109th and 610, but Champlin cops patrol 109th all the time too. South of there you get into the Sheriff's and State Patrol along with Plymouth and Golden Valley. If you're in my neighborhood, watch out. Champlin has 3 unmarkeds that patrol 169. Navy Blue Ford Taurus 98ish. White Grand Am newer, and a Silver Crown Vic. Brooklyn Park is erradic in their patrol of 169. God I wish they hadn't messed with "Old Corn Road" as we liked to call it back in the day. 96th Ave off Zane in Brooklyn Park was friggen perfect. Farm road a good 1/2 mile long, nothing but fields on either side, and the road was in good shape. When they put 610 in it all went to crap. Winnetka in Brooklyn Park right off 93rd used to be killer too. Naturally they took it and blocked it off in preperation for the Ampitheater and 610. I do know a couple spots that are usually quiet and are quite safe to run. I'm not about to talk about them here. Makes me wish the Anoka dragstrip was still open. Instead of 200mi+ it would be 5. Oh well, gotta love progress.

Interestingly enough, I beat a Z28 top end with my '91 Escort GT because of the S speed rated tires that came with the 112mph speed limiter on the LT1's. I guess it's one way to stay out of too much trouble, ha. That was a riot. He was smokin me soooo bad, but I eventually passed him. His cats must have been glowing white with how bad it was stinkin, lol. If the speed limiter is set at 118mph on the LS1 it must come with T speed rated tires? H rated are good for 130mph. Who knows? I didn't know the LS1's came with limiters on any of them. If anybody would have posted a top end kill of an LS1 with their stock, near stock, or even mildly modded fox bod, I would have called BS.

Give me a call and we'll see what's up.
