One time I mentioned I was looking for a certain back issue of a national dragster. He said he had it and sent it to me no charge!

Believe me, the pleasure was mutual. I very much enjoyed getting to know you, also. It seems we have a fair amount in common. I hope some of my thoughts prove to be useful.

RACE ON!!!

Not to get mushy, but I hope that one day I cross paths with CFI-EFI. I enjoy his posts.

Looks like I'll have to get my butt to a CI

CFI-EFI is one of a handful of forum members who always seems to be on top of things. If he says it, you can pretty much take it to the bank.

CF rocks.

Hey Chris, like you're a hard guy to talk Vettes with.

You have peaked my curiosity. What are you building up there in the Hills of Hickory? Does this mean that you maybe replacing your current engine?

Yes, CFI-EFI has helped me with my 1990 Corvette, especially in diagnosing problems. He's helped a lot. In fact, I've got this check made out for him, but I just don't know where to send it!

Nice guy is an understatement. CFI is extremely helpful, and like an above poster replied is spot on. One of the few old timers here at the Forum I hope we never lose.(65z01 is another) Always quick to help, and a bit of humor on top of it. Any troubleshooting thread I've posted usually has a response from him which has never been wrong yet.

You da man, CFi
