My old roommate failed eight times!! He was really scary to ride with when I needed a ride somewheres! Now he lives on L.I., NY I surprised he's in one piece still!

mod motors arenot slow, they just need some gearing and rpms. soon, with the help of 3.73's and some xe274 cams, my 4.6 will be a bit more peppy. stay away from wifey when i put that combo in the mustang....she is kinda crazy with a basically stock car now.

Miles, do you know what your gearing is?

Haha, nice Greg. Way to get involved with the banter. I remember the days when I didn't have to pay my insurance. Luckily for me the total cost for my truck is $32.78 a month...minus gas, and the occasional quart of oil
