Very true providing the proper springs are being used. I'm wondering how they are going to work with the variable timing in these cars. Should be interesting to see how it comes together.

Pretty much the Ricky Bobby shit. LOL. No we talked about it but I'm a little drunk to remember exactly what they said. Tonight was bowling night. And we went out for Tam Wasson's B-day.

Friday morning. Hopefully they will be done with that fake 5.0 which is really a v-6 with fake cams that he is putting a D-1 on. If they get done with his car soon enough they will start on mine Friday.
And yes Tam is cleaning up in SASBA.
