Boy can that be the truth, not mention they are usually flywheel figures, not wheel to the ground figures, and I'm sure a lot of people don't realize it.

Not only that, they are ballpark FLYWHEEL ratings. Not wheel.

I just got a whole bunch of parts purchased off a vendor at Rotarycarclub.com not too long ago. Also purchased some nice exterior parts from a forum member here. Will post some pictures very soon.

My next step or parts to buy is :
Turbo Kit
Engine rebuild kit (might call Ray Crowe see what he can do for me)
