Will do!
where do you get your heads ported? There is a good machine shop? My dad has a 502 boat motor that needs a rebuild and he doesnt trust anyone around here
I got a real good guy in lakemoore ill,he is a great guy and a real pro in head work.He just drove down to meet with brodex head manufactures who are going to change their castings from his recomendations.

Id rather race at byron,Route 66 is stupid about the tech and theres so many people there you dont get to run much.

I hear ya about stringent tech and not getting a lot of runs at test and tune. I have a regular drag car that I run in their E.T. Points bracket for the NHRA. I'm only a few places away from my old man in points. I dont want him getting too far away from me. lol :hug:

well sad to say but im probably not gonna make it to byron, as much as i really wanna go i cant really financially afford to go, between the fuel, entry, food, and all the other crap i spend money on cant really afford it, especially if i broke something i would really be screwed, and it would probably be the trans that i havent been able to afford to fix too
