Way cool Norm... You are my Hero!! The car sounds really clean. Hit the gas and go! Good thing the Stang didn't have another 1/4 mile to show you tail lights : ). Great racing... I bet the local boyz are starting to ask for your advice now..

I don't think I can modify your avatar or sig, Norm. What you'll probably have to do is resize it, and host it on Photobucket or the like and paste the IMG code where you want it. ProBoards has been teasing me for a year about a major upgrade, but so far, nothing.

ok I can do that, lol, what should I do for "maintenance" so to speak?
or I should ask what would you do for maintenance, new rings and bearings, check all the clearances?
I really want to send the heads and intake to JP and let him have some fun with the grinder, i'll have to see how the $$$$$ situation is though.
if you could walk me threw it Rick that would be great!

Hell I don't know, that is just what the race guys like Ketchum's and Stickshifter does... They tear them down every season and if everything looks good, it goes back together. I am not sure if they touch a hone to the block or not. I will get Stickshifter to post something up.

well we got it, I raced the Mopar again and he got me this time by .006 and in the process dragged my ass into the TENS....... WOOHOO WE DID IT, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! CAR #508 right lane is me. check out the 1/8th mile times, exactly the same but somehow he picked up about 1mph before the 1/8th and carried that all the way out the back, what a race!!! HERE'S VIDEO OF THE RUN
