Hey KG...

It will turn my friend. Maybe this will cheer you up since I am in the same boat as you for my race car...

Found a set of Camel Backs. Sent them in and it cost about 1000 bucks to get done. Called Crane told them what we run and such and they sent as a cam and neew lifters and all. By the time I was done i was in the 2000 ballpark for heads and a cam since we needed a little more power. Well after all this we put it all together.....Where breaking in the cam and after 7 min 2 of the valves stuck. After a few mother fockers we pulled the heads off and took them back. He almost blamed us for the problem but he still fixed them. Another set of gaskets and we were ready to go. Go to the track and the thing felt 50 HP down!!!! I was a little miffed about it and had to take a provisional just to get into the A main!!!!!! Then 15 laps in we developed a bad vibration and called it a night!! So now the trans and motor are out of the car so they can figure out what the heck is going on. Takes money to go fast they say and the more I spend the slower I go!!!! Sucks.....

Hopefully I will do better at investing!!!!

See Ya Buddy.
