    Hello Dave .... and WOW! Can't wait to see pics of your car and good luck hitting the 4's. There's a guy down here who is running a SBC (Camaro) and has run a best of 4.72 in his small block (w/nitrous). I would LOVE to see a Ford, especially a Maverick, running those (altitude corrected) numbers.

    Welcome to the board!

    5.07 @ 138

    Ran 5.07:clap: last night on a 100 shot, I didnt get the proper jets for my 200 shots with the kit:slap: , I now have 2 and 300 jets that i picked up from a top sportsman friend of mine after I left the track last night. The track is around 20 mins from my house so I am just leaving for the track now, I should be able to dip into the 4's if the air is good. Will I be some happy if I can run a 4 something:bananaman I pay $10 cdn for a lb of nitrous, $100. a bottle, what are the U.S prices for juice where you are from? I will post tonight if I get back early enough, its the track operators, 34th aniversary so I will stick around the track for some of the celebration(y) .
    Thanks, Dave
