Looks good chris. How much air are you running? looks like you might need to go up some.
I am not really sure what the question is, but I am pretty sure the answer is Big Block.

Gee Chris, those aren't the pictures I sent you, why don't you post them?

Hey Kid, Chris told me a paint job is next on the schedule.

We won't know whom he is anymore :scratch:
Those who think they know it all have no way of finding out they don't......... :scratch:

And why is that?

And those are motor only launches. You should have seen it last week on the bottle. I don't have pics of that though.

Because it runs and mine doesn't. And it's so gnarly kooking. Its just got a mean look that's totally unique to it. And she wont shut up long enough to let me work on my junk.
