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?

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

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
