DT, you are a better researcher than I...

Started at Fountain site but looked only in the current spec's for 05 Lightning's.

Thanks

This question came to me in an email from a guy I matched up with over Labor Day Weekend on Dale Hollow. He is running a Formula 353 Fastech with 525's and I think he was surprised to be bested by a couple of 502's :)

He was surprised? Can he say KILO RUN? :eek:

Sorry, you'll have to get used of bar fights with the Fountain. :D

OH, how times have changed...

We have been going to DH for about 18 years now and it was as you remembered (bass / ski and more bass)

Get this, there is a beautiful 32 Skater down there running about 130 couple 3 fountains a Formula Fastech and a Sunsation. The down side is when I am up and running hard these basser's still try to cross my bow not realizing how quick I am coming up on them. It's getting better, I give them a wide berth and they are starting to realize crossing a 35's wake doing 80+ isn't all that bad :)
