Hey everybody, I'm Dane and I hail from Lubbock, TX. The land of cotton, cows, dust and straight roads. Looking forward to picking up on some good information on this board.

I own a 2000 V6 Firebird and a Mazda3s GT which is my wife's car. I have had a love for road racing, but have yet to take part in any trackdays. I don't race on Sundays so that is probably one big contributor.

The bird has a bit of a lengthy mod list, most of them bought second hand through part outs or abandoned builds. The engine rebuild started off as a basic cam install and replace the leaking intake gasket until I popped the valve covers and found oil sludge in the 135K mile engine. Here's the rundown:

Mods:
Whisper Lid
60*Inclusive ported Heads and Intake
Intense S1X NA Cam
Yella Terra 1.7 platinum roller rockers
Manton pushrods
FFF Longtube headers
TSP Rumbler Catback

Yank Torque Arm relocation
TCI 3800 stall
Aluminum driveshaft
Trans cooler

BMR 32mm front, LS1 19mm rear
QA1 12-ways WS6 rear springs
UMI LCA's & Adj. PHB
PA Racing Tubular K-member
B4C power steering Cooler

I have recently picked up a set of Speedline Mistrals from a guy on Racingjunk. They were campaigned on their 94 Camaro and they are stationed in the Fla area. I've got to get them cleaned and powdercoated as the paint they had on there is flaking off from mounting and dismounting so many different sets of tires. Anybody ever seen these? I haven't heard from Speedline corporate yet on how many of these they made but I'm looking forward to running them.
