Long time observer first time poster on this site.
In progress a 1973 corvette witha a 9 in ford, 4-link and turbo 400 with a 5200 stall and brake. The loud end is a high winding 10.75 compression 496, with a comp 4/7 swap solid roller cam, and canfield cnc chamber, hand ported runner heads
It has a single dominator now, but we are looking at a dual 1050 setup, for some 7500-8000 rpm flogs.

That still qualifies as 'real work'. I myself work with information technology, which does not qualify as 'real work'.

Actually, I'm in Cincinnati at the moment and the weather here is beautiful. And it's pretty nice all year back home (Sacamento), tho it can get hot in the summers, tho not for too long.
