Got all the kinks worked out on my new ignition system. It really works
well now, even better than when I was at the meet. I need to get back
to a dyno again and see if my numbers have changed for the better.

Alot of us are in Statesville area. You should try and come by.

On a side note, I took Andre a little ride today in the turbo FB. I think he wet himself He swears that this setup is the hardest pulling engine that I have had in the FB so far. I hope he's right. I still need to port another hot side for my turbo, but as is that ****** is pulling HARD at 15psi
