If.....

I'll be out of town but IF I happen to get back early enough, and IF my transmission shows up in time and IF it goes in with no problems, and IF I have the money after that then I will come. Probably won't work out though.

I think I have one vacation day available so I will probably go. Unfortunately I don't have my fuel system sorted out yet but I can turn down the boost and run.

I would like to attend,Given that if Brent can break away from his busy schedule & his fear of Nordy we can find the time to replace his head gaskets.

Please

My car will run 9's then my plate will be legitimate.
I think you need to take off that "DIALDIN" plate. 9.89 @almost 140mph is NOT! "Dialed In" sorry.

See you in Bakersfield.

LOL thats funny! Jerk

I haven't found the right HG's for these damn stock Iron heads. I have 8 studs. The heads are dancing and exhaust gases are going in the coolant system. I'm not blowing Head Gaskets. You have Alum. heads that conform to the block unlike Iron Heads that stay flat.
