I'm in a fishing tournament this weekend so I won't get Bix down there until just before you show up.  Unless they can put your motor in mine, Bix may be in SC until late July.  The first available appointment is mid July.

You were asking how I liked the tires on the truck.  Raining this am on the way to work and some idiot decides  I don't need any stopping room so he jambs himself between me and the car in front.  Car in front has to stop, meets the car that cut me off up close and personal,  I thought I was going to pay for it all, but stopped a foot short of him.

As I drove by as he was getting out, I rolled down the window and said "That is why I had left some space in case I had to stop.  You should try it!"   He was not very appreciative of my advise, actually gave me the finger.  I gave my business card to the guy that got hit, in case he needed a witness.

I don't know who how 'good' I was being, I made sure the B@ST@RD that hit him saw me give the other driver my card.

right letters, wrong order.

OK, so after MANY days & MANY $$$$.$$ the coupe finally has a new POWAH plant. Just waiting for the new tune from Trifecta.
It remains as stage II supercharged

Here's the goodies:
-Wiseco pistons w/ceramic coated tops
-Carillo Pro-SA rods
-Supertech (dual) valve springs
-Supertech Valves
-ARP head studs
-competition head porting/polishing/shaving/3 way valve job
-polished & balanced crank shaft
...and a partridge in a pear tree (bearings/gaskets/bolts/etc...etc...)

Thanks to DDM, John (supervisor), Joe for helping & the wives for moral support.
And another thanks to DDM for the installation of a loner motor (which is now in Crittermans car) while I waited so (im)patiently  :D

So after break in & tune tweak it will be time for a rematch with the Boss... Let The Ass Kicking Commence... again  :devil:

Jimmy you might want to let him win one, after all he did do a lot of work, especially on my car.  Be a man take one for the team.

Than why you don't take one for the team?

PS. Remember I'm on Jimmy's side cause he was considered an underdog.

Ok, I'll let him win one... red light (insert evil laugh here).

Joe (and Dee), you didn't have to go down to DDM with us but you did anyway and I REALLY APPRECIATED that my friend. You truly have a big heart and ALL you do is greatly appreciated.

THANK YOU!!!
Jimmy

There is a U in suck, just sayin'.  And no coaches don't think that's very funny ask me how I know.

Critter I've seen your spelling and I'd bet from time to time there could be an I in team.
