I was going to go to the diesel drags 2 months ago but that was the same day I made the video, I keep hearing that right now Iam a canidate to float my head, and I dont want to do that so Iam going to bite the bullet and do the head studs. Ive been looking for a good dyno but so far no luck, I have found one so far but everyone says to stay away from the shop that has it...soo I dont know, maybe I will have to drive out where you are and we can hit one up

GA is a looong way from AZ.... I don;t think we'll ever being seeing those boys at a east coast event. I will be there and hope to see some nice numbers down the track. Since many of the pros will be there though... my times wouldn't mean a thing [&:] It will be fun though.

I guess you're coming Nick ? Any more of you GA guys going ?

I know what ya mean, I have never owned a stock vehicle, but if I were going to that Jetta is on top of my list. I need to put my engine in a Bug...that would be unreal! hehehe
Porsche engines bolt up in less that 4 hrs
My dad used to have one in his younger days(before my time) , Said no one ever outrun him He didn't tell them it had a porche engine in it until after the race.
