Tony, getting a little anxious for a butt whooping are we? :D I hope you remember well when yu beat me, because it will not happen again! wink I now see 14 psi whenever I want (compared to 8 when you raced me). Plus, did I forget to mention my 3 angle valve job, larger SI valves, new springs, Stage II cam heads I will be installing soon? HAHA! I thank you, in that you being the one car to beat me from a roll made me decide I needed even more power. Get ready to suck some fumes you S/C'd misfits finger

Mike, did the original engine let go? What happened?
The original motor was just fine. Bought the "modded" motor that was once in classifeds, however it wasn't low compression or 3.2...just a new 3.0.

Good luck Mr. Tim. I'm hitting 13lbs and Tony walks from me like I'm in reverse.

Sounds like good heads! Gonna have them on soon?!

I'll be ready in another 200 miles. Still breaking in the motor and it sucks not to go to boost! BOOOOOOO

Can not make the Fall Run guys, but I plan on being in the SA area the next weekend (25th 26th) for the mile race @ Goliad AFB. Should have the Stage II heads on by then. Hope to have it on the dyno again before I come down. Hoping for 420whp, 380ft lbs.

You guys should come to the event. They are expecting a lot of cars. Should be some very sweet machines there (Z06's, Vipers, maybe some Ferrari's and Porsche's). Should be fun to see the look an these guy's faces when my little old Taurus puts up better numbers than their precious sports cars. You should enter Mike, Tony. This is the kind of event where the SHO can shine.

Tim the High Speed Shot out ain't in SA. That's in Goliad about 150 miles east of SA. If ya do go down once ya hit Austin look for Hwy 183 south and just go south till ya get to Goliad. There's a guy on SHOklahoma that wants go too maybe you 2 could caravan down together.

:cool: :rolleyes:
