I agree. more HP=mods. lot more HP= heavy mods=$$$$+= difficult to fix when it breaks= $$$$$= and less time on the road. Unless you carb it and go from there....

Very generous! But the reason I said I was in no hurry to get the '02 was that would be my inheritance and I would rather him be around that have anything else.

The 82 has wayyyy too many memories to get rid of. He got it when I was 4 and I still remember the day he brought it home.
