A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Steve - If it comes in a thunderbolt sign me up!

Pretty sure Brad was saying to buy once cry once - rather than incremental upgrades.

Yeah, I started out with stockers, then 50's, 60's then 80's. If I was to do it again I'd go to 80's just for the street. These cars were a huge learning curve for me...took me awhile to figure them out. There were several guys in Toronto I mistakenly listened to that at the end of the day didn't know shit.
Hard work pays off, dreams come true. Bad times don't last, but BAD GUYS do!

RIP Scott Hall AKA Razor Ramon

We were all in the beginning stages with the cars and no one really knew anything. Some, like Jim Bell, did not know anything but they knew how to market and sold more snake oil than was ever sold off a horse and wagon.

There are still guys out there that mix a little science with aggressive marketing.  Joe Blow brought his car in and left with one that should make 600 hp on a Dyno...modern day Tik Tok marketing.

In the meantime, there HAS been some major league improves in turbos and converters as well as fuel management if one truly needs it.

Or one can just LS swap and forget about magic lol
