    Sounds real nice. I also like the other two mavericks. I think they were mavericks.

    A couple of things, the start timing is retarded a few degrees hence the reason it started so easy, we put 12" extensions on the header collectors and put cone "mufflers" inside the xtensions as a silencing device, when I was reving it by hand I didn't take it over 2500 rpms, standing within 10ft. of the car when it goes over 3000 rpms you'd wish you had ear plugs, so much for silencing devices.

    Here you see a seemingly normal grown man, a well respected businessman in his community, and a stalwart of stability to his family.

    Seemingly. As he sits there in his chair continually going hunnuh, hunnuh, hunnuh, vroom, vroom, vrooom, vrooooom, vrooooooooommmmmmm, he has crossed over to the.....Twilight Zone. The Torque Zone, if you will.

    Please be warned that what afflicts this man is contagious. Approach with extreme caution as we follow him into the.....Got Racing Bad Zone.
