glad to hear you're still doing fine over there.

anyone who's interested in the seals and coolant seal savers, i'm still in the process of producing the first batch. the coolant seal savers are a new product that hasn't been put out on the market and is something i have been developing. the racing coolant seals are rated up to 400*F and reusable like the pineapple racing ones and i'll be listing them at a fraction of the cost of the pineapple ones. first test will be testing the exact melting point of OE coolant seals and these ones to get a more exact comparison.
I'm done competing with Juan, this just put him in another league!

As for my 20B, I want this NA, pushing at least 350 reliably! Think you can handle it?

i'll think about what porting/intake/exhaust will get you there but it should be easily doable but will take a FBP/semiPP/PP engine.

I haven't made up my mind yet. I do like the idea of doing another BBQ and maybe having a cruise, not sure on the area yet though. Pretty sure wallets will be a little empty for a lot of people so I want to try to avoid parks that have entrance fees. Though for th BBQ aspect I am willing to pay for the meat and such maybe have people just chip in a few bucks.

You got any ideas for location?
