Hi Sonny,

Wow... you got it working thats for sure. 450 rwhp is probably in the neighborhood of 550 flywheel or thereabouts anyway !!! Shall make for some very strong et slips !! And thanks, I'm happy to be out here.... just so damn cold !!!

Hi Paul,

I moved out here 2-3 months ago.... I was offered a can't pass it up Job opportunity, but the Job was out here..... so here I am. I noticed a thread with your boosted and juiced MR motor.... Wow !!! Once you have that thing dialed in, you're gonna fly literally right off the track. I think you'll have way to much motor for Carlsbad, you're gonna have to hit the SuperChevy show in the spring at Pomona.... get that set-up on a track that can handle it.

Have a Merry Xmas guys !!!

cheers,
Beach Bum
