My neighbor has a perfect mint condition t type, and recently had a bunch of bolt ons put on it. He said he took the car to some guy called "Poppy" in Indiana. I've never heard of this guy, but apperently he lays claim to having the fastest stock block buick at 9.5x in the quarter. Now, my neighbor wouldn't know a stage motor if it hit him in the head, so I'm thinking bs on the stock block thing. But anyway, who is this guy? He set my neighbors car up with Reds chips and a static fuel pressure of 48 with the line off.He can't figure out why it seems slow. Its so rich it is dumping fuel, but with his nifty bosch 02 sensor, he gets new ones warrantied. I'm thinking maybe this guy hasn't picked up a magazine or been on a computer in a few years. Anyone hear of this guy?
Ever hear of "Poppy"?
