    How about some engine pics?

    I am not sure what I am upgrading to as of yet. I am worried the the tubular stuff won't hold up to the wheelie abuse so I just put a mustang 2 suspension kit under it. I did upgrade to the 68 cougar eliminator front disc a few years ago. I am not sure if I have a pic of the engine now that it's finished. I'll have to find one.

    That does sound to be the case. Too much for the 30mm belt.

    That's a good question. I am thinking (dangerous I know) that because every inch of my a/a cooler is exposed to the open air that my a/a will work better than one is covered by a big nose piece.

    Yeah, I've seen you and your wifes car before I believe.
    I'm hoping to run True Street at Milan and Columbus this year with my brothers and hopefully a few guys on here.

    Sounds good bro. I love Milan but that NMRA event is only a two day event and it kinda screws with t/s. I want to try the NMCA event this year.
