I just got a promotional offer from Amazon for a banana slicer. Once you've looked at an item on their site, they just keep trying.

Thanks.

Yea, and clearing ones cookies doesn't help. It's like they keep cookies at their end, too.

I have two pages of items on my "Wish List" that I am using as idea "placeholders". Hope it drives them nuts that I'm not buying them!

Thanks, guys.

I'll probably still sleep with one ear open for a few nights, though, I suspect.

So far, over a thousand horsepower (1030) on stock injectors!

Almost out of duty cycle time on them, but the added nitrous shots help a lot.

Head gaskets are holding, as is an ATS-built Allison.

So far, it's still together, but folks are moving to the other side of walls during runs.
