Won my second race of the year last night. It's been a good year so far. Should get me in the top five in points.

Well my time runs were 9.33 and 9.34. So first round we dial a 9.33, well I'm late on the tree but catch him at the stripe only to break out by .04. He breaks out by .03 :roll: . So to the buy back window I go. Dial 9.28 cut a decent light .019 dump at the stripe scrub 7mph and go 9.32. Next round I dial down to a 9.26 and run a 9.264 and lose oh yeah had a .134 light. :shock: Had a carb issue but things are coming around.

bb, Call Greg at FTI and you will find the BEST customer service around. I bought a trans and convertor from them. I have run a few passes on the trans and its all SFI and a 1800hp trans. I have not had chance to try the convertor yet as my motor is still down. I have heard nothing but good things about them and picked up my trans in person and everyone was very friend

Hope to be up and running in the next week or so as my lifters wiil be here tomorrow form Crower.

PTC, Kenny Ford, Mussle Shoals Ala.been running his stuff for 10 yrs. and most of the guys i know here in La. and Ms. are running his converters. He's not only hands on but a fellow racer. In fact he was the national champion in the 7.00 class in 2010 runing on a protree. Tell him that John Allen sent you and he's probably only charge you a $100.00 extra :lol: , that's what he told one customer that i sent him, just for mentioning my name. Ofcourse he was just kidding, we're good friends for yrs. and i will guarentee he will stand behind anything he builds at his cost less shipping.
