Although I poke jabs at Bruce, he has helped me out over the years with my combo. His switch to a bbc was purely done to be more competative in this series. (2) years ago, if the Tiger head was approved in the NMCA Pro Stock class, it would have ruined it. For 2007, the NMCA has opened up the rules to allow more heads. In 5 events this season, the Pontiac has won 2 and the bbc has won 2. The 5th race was not completed. The bbc has qualified #1 three times and the Pontiac #1 twice. The bbc holds the record but the Pontiac has made the fastest pass in the class (was done in the finals at Bradenton and couldn't back it up). Me and Bruce will be in a points fight for the last 2 races. If he gets lucky and wins the championship, I will be happy for him for he will have had to work for it. As far as the weight is concerned, Bruce has to weigh 175 over my base combo (I get 75 for nostalgia). His motor is down on torque compared to the other 2 bbc's but he is way up on hp.
