Sterling Rocks!

Hats off to Sterling. I got my Carb back about a month ago, but due to work I just put it on last week and got it tuned up today. HOLY **** WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I knew nothing about carbs before I sent mine away, not only does it preform better that I ever expected, but Sterling sent me several e-mails and even talked me through some tuning tips on the phone on his dime. If any of you out there are thinking about sending some work his way, I highly recomend him.

FBII is on our "guinea-pig plan". He's being a test rat in lue of some of the cost.
(He's also under a forty-seven page contract where if he gives info that we don't approve first, we get his car.
...and he has to shave his eyebrows off.
and pierce a nipple with a rusty tack. )

You all know I'm just kidding, right?
I did'nt have anything to do with the deal, I'm just giving him a hard time. Carl's sending him a boost prepped Sterling Carb and hopefully FB will get the chance to dyno it for us for braggin' rights.
