Re: Cartek Rip Down (Major Spray)
Paul, it was great hanging with you also. Like Brent said, you’re a real
stand up guy and I appreciate you taking the time to put this to rest. :cheers:
It's unfortunate that we have to go though all this just to prove a point, but I think that you can now realize why we seem to get defensive when accused of running nitrous, or a stroker on what is supposed to be a heads and cam car. Our customers didn't start the "inner circle", they were forced into one.
BTW, there is no Stage 2-X revision 3 heads, revision 2 is what is going into Brent's car.

Re: Cartek Rip Down (MTI 427 Roadster)
I can't agree more Cartek and Vette Doctors are great team Players....
I also had the chance to meet the Cartek Crew and Brent down in Kentucky for the shoot out, along with a buddy of mine who was very skeptical the car was a full weight H/C car that ran that good... after looking into it and hearing it he was 1/2 way to believing. After this post he is 100%..... Honestly I knew it all a long!!!!! :D Way to go Brent, the entire Cartek Crew, Vette Doctors, and MajorSpray for putting an end to all the guessing going on. :cheers:
