    alright.
    Thats it.
    If you get 525's in that wave maker then I will no longer be able to keep up with you.
    So...
    get a deal on 3 525's and we will put one in the aluma crusier.
    gay........

    Nah, you'll be good with a 496HO over what you have now. I know of a killer deal on one of those.

    Preaching to the quire..........
    The GTO got the first rounds of mods this weekend. Should be good for low 12's before the blower goes on:devil: :devil:
    I also know that a duck is a duck and that thing was designed to be a luxary cruiser not a 75+ mph boat. I honrestly think it would be a better investment to order a new 26' Ultra Stealth with a 525 from J/W.
    Best of both worlds and you wont loose as much $$ in the long run
    Brandin,
    Curious how you get a 6.0 GTO into the low 12's without a blower?? Maybe I misunderstood.
    I agree that Mike should pickup a 26 Stealth from JW and use it like a dingy.

    I see something in my future from JW, not as a dinghy though.

    Any hints (and BTW I'm a terrible speller)

    Bolt-ons,Tuning,Drag bags, Mickey thomson Drag radials and a 3200 Fuddle stall.
    The car made 350 rwhp with only a tune
    Realisticly the car has a 12.39 in her right now at about 110 on a sub 1.7 60'
    I am gonna skip the nickle and dime stuff (headers,ud pulley) and do a blower after the first of the year and the car should run mid 11's at about 118 and still pass smog.
    Here is a 06 Auto GTO with nothing more than a maggie. 11.99 at Vegas is pretty impressive and his car has never ran ultra strong.(He needs a verter for 11.5)

    Nothing specific. I just see myself doing business with John in the future. Probably with Magic again also.

    Are you talking about the distant future or the near future? What happened, the Formula slow things down a little too much for you?
    Oh did you think about going with 600 SCIs, be the only Formula 370SS with those motors!

    525's? I have some 1150's I will sell you. Boating is no fun unless you are adjusting valves all the time......
