Do you guys have any other help? I need to beat him so he will stop ragging on me in front of the other guys.

being a turbo Lebaron owner, i`m familar with what these engines are capable of... for such litle money invested... my 89 Lebaron went 8.63 in the 1/8 mi. with only an aftermarket calibration, bigger injectors, drag radials, and exhaust system... the head, intake/exhaust manifolds and turbo were factory pieces, that i ported.

here`s a link to Pauls site...
