Easy to get sucked into racing dyno's, but 11.17 @ 122 with the tripower still impressed me!

Thanks
Yeap, Exactly! Everyone gets hung up on dyno number's, the track loads the car totally different etc, my own car does not like timing on the track, every time i try more than 28 total it slows down! Was the same way in the grandville too, for some reason this motor doesn't want or need it. Rich was that the road paver u were running before than?
