If Jr is paying for it. Go for it. But something tells me he is not.

That motor is new! He should figure out what he did wrong and make sure he doesn't make the same mistake again. :argue .

Mike, is there any chance that you were having more fun when the car went 14's and the only thing you could break was a sweat when the chili was too hot?

Rhett, yes, the lifter came apart,but when those little needles scatter it's like a shot gun slug with the pellets inside it.Those needles do alot of damage! Hal, as far as fun, anytime I run the car I have fun. I think though, it a different kind of fun from the 14's to faster.
