I think you problem all circles your compression numbers. If a 400 psi motor is running at 100% and yours only hitting around 300psi your motor is going to see a huge power loss.

It would explain a few things for sure. Its all dependent on money at this point, which I don't have any extra. I always say maybe if I win the lotto, but I would have to play first. Lol

I could not agree more Bill. They are almost always in really nice condition too.

That is really cool Tom. We actually just went to a rodeo last night over in Illinois. We go every year to it. It sounds like he has a natural ability for it.

Thanks Gabe, I've been told more than once that Dylan is a natural bronc rider. There is something about that classic event that I love.
