I'm here to learn.
I was a pioneer W/the LX platform.
1st to successfully change an axle ratio. I just did it & within a week I found someone to hack a TCM to make it work.
1st to run "skinnies" on an LX. There were no proper wheels available so I used adaptors W/6 cykinder LX compact spare (17") wheels & 4.50/17 x 26 M&H "Front Runners"
1st to successfully adapt a 6.1 intake manifold to a 5.7 W/O torque loss.
1st N/A 5.7 powered LX to hit 12.1s
1st 5.7 powered LX to break the 11.5 barrier. (11.30 @ 121.87 MPH)
Things have gotten rediculous in the LX world, far too expensive & I don't want to make my car into a trailer queen.
I might use it to tow my Valiant to the track though.

I'm here to gain as much information as possible & see if I can acheive the magic 12.99 in a N/A \6.
Back in '06, people doubted that a N/A 5.7 powered LX could run in the 12s.

Now 12 flat is common & a few are running high 11s W/full weight (4200# +)N/A 5.7 powered LXs.
I think I can get a 12.99 on an east coast track in the spring or fall W/a N/A \6.
It won't happen this year as I don't have the $$$ to do it all @ once.
Maybe in 2014?
