Big Bollas Saves The Day Again

while racing a heads and cam 02 ss camaro last night it finally happens, my single manley 923's gave up on me. the no. 2 cyl. took a dump. i called mti and they could not get to it this week. so i called daniel , he went to work this morning 60 miles away got off at 2pm and drove to MY HOUSE 50 MILES AWAY. he found the broken spring and fixed it with a manley 923 he had in his garage. what a guy. he would not even let me buy the spring, fill his tank or buy him a steak. he's the best.

now texas has its own VETTE DOCTOR like the guy's in new york.

thanks again daniel.

ps..

i did blow the SS away...........
