WOW! Great job!!

PhillyTurboSix · 10-17-2007, 09:42 AM

Awesome combo Dan! Gotta give it to you and Russ on her car! I watched her run at Bowling Green and it moves out! The thing I love the best is how everyone swears you can only go fast with a monster front mount IC. Well here is a car that can and does run in the 9's all day long with a stock location IC!! I love it! If I ever want to go fast I'll just drop my car off in your driveway!
