Spartan. Just go slowly. The schools aret too hard, airassault will require alot of headspace, jumping out of airplanes though.... no headspace required, just intestinal fortitude.

c4. Sick sold his car, so he wont be back, probly ever, but there is a ton of knowledge here. Once you get started with your project hit us up and post pics.

Yeah, i realize what it takes. I just want to get out and do something rather than working my lame dead end job... i applied for student loans but i couldnt get one without a co-signer and my dad refuses to co-sign anything for me because he "doesnt think im serious" about school... So i pretty much just want to go and do something exciting and new and get paid to do it and have money for school... Plus my Great uncle was in the Airborne during korea and vietnamfor 25years retired as a fill bird colonel. and my grandmas brother was a Ranger during vietnam until he went insane and commited suicide.... but still.. lol

this thread makes me sad. unless the rules are different in canada, they typically dont let underaged drivers race at the strip with a street vehicle, junior dragsters and whatnot only right? something about a 14 year old going 150mph and running a 9 on his first time driving stick doesnt add up either. ive taught people to drive stick.... I call BS on that story bigtime. I would suspect you were allowed to ride along if anything at all. I also happen to know what it takes to make a 351 run 9s,..... this whole thing just stinks
Maybe he was sitting on the drivers lap?

Ok chill C4. Just seems funny. Ok lets say you did go down the track in a 9 second car at the age of 14-15 and lets say you do know how to drive cars of that calibur. Look most younguns are barley learing how to drive let alone drive a 9 second car. It's hard for all to believe without proof. Heck there are only a few expirenced members here who have done that!! If you've done what you say then good. I envy you!! But without the proof, especially a person of your age, your going to get called out. Not to mention most, if not all, tracks will not allow a minor to drive such a fast car. But like I said. Show us a little proof and I'll be the first one to give you congrats.

Lol im chill. Sorry, there is NO proof. And I cant drive it again because its to crazy fast in the low 8's with nitrous that he wont take off. I will get a pic of me going crazy fast on my polaris 800 twin, turbo though. (not twin turbo, twin cylinders.)

Well then maybe you can get us a vid of you in your current Camaro! After you've built it up of course. It all depends on where you take the car. But since you're looking to build it up and plan on keeping it a while I'd do the install myself. Of course, you may want someone who knows cars to give you a hand. If you decide to pay someone then you might be looking at a couple hundred. Give or take.

Alright thanks. And when installing new heads, Do i need to get them tuned for my camaro, or do i just simply buy them out of the box, unbolt the old heads, and put the new ones on?

Yeah, i realize its probably not smart to jump right into the rangers. But i do plan on going inf and then going thruairborne/air assault schools, if i so choose after that to do the rangers ill probably at least try.
Whatever you do, don't go for the combat engineers. They do preparation work within enemy territory, drive around in all sorts of weird vehicles,and are in the crossfire when the two sides shoot at each other. Although it is kinda fun going about blowing up things. I didn't volunteer, but got drafted into the US Army.
