Thanks SB,

Thank you Kaama

I have gotten a lot out of your input.

Thanks Again Kaama

Kaama

Thank you for your input. I may see if I can pull that piece from the internet. But I don't want more horses just less juice. Of all things to say; I want them to suck less not sux.

US1 Fountain

Hello my boating friend,
Efficiency is my real goal. I love gen6 502's (something nasty-n-gnarly about them for me, like an old shovelhead) but I prefer stone stock if possible for the reliability...
