Your welcome. And thank you for sharing your opinion on imports. Glad to hear you feel the same as me.
That's funny about the empty nos bottle. Not even any lines to make it look real. What a wuss.
Here's a funny one for ya. A friend of mine has a 91 drag mustang. He has just finished putting it together. It has a 393 with victor race heads, custom grind cam(solid roller), shaft rockers, 16:1 compression, super victor intake, holley 780(just for starters, won't be there long). Behind it is a 5800 stalled powerglide(yeah, I know). All that connected to a 9 inch rear with a ladder bar setup. It has 5.20 gears in it. 32 inch slicks (it is f#ckin tubbed). It weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 2900. Got to give the details. Anyway he was at the local track a few weeks back and ran a 6.90 at 101. He babied it, obviously. He was waiting to run again and this import dude comes up and is talking to him, asking questions about his car and whatnot. One particular question is "What kind of gear you got in it?" He said "5.20." The import dude says "No way, you need a 3.73 gear" I was sitting on a sawhorse in his shop when he told me that story, and I fell off the sawhorse. That is funny. Sorry so long, but I know everyone wanted to know the details of the car.
We later found out that the car was running on 7 cyl and had both head gaskets blowed between the cylinders. He knew something was wrong cause he got on it a little better on the second run and run a 7.01 at 97. It threw a rod on the next startup. Bummer. SCE gaskets on the way.
