I think thats alot but what do I know, I cant even ride a golf cart with out falling off and most of my brains are still on pit road.

I run one of his older ones in my Mirada, we ran a 9" Coan that was updated by him in my dads car...but this coming year we're going to try one of his 8" converters. Friend of mine runs one in his 8 sec Challenger and he's sold a few Ultimates to his customers.

Both freshened by Lenny, one a couple months ago I can`t wait to try it out this week end or next. 5856253-GregVanEssPhotography-IslandDragway11-1-09-_DSC3533.mht (48 downloads) Last edited by 11secdart; 03/10/10 01:02 PM. 68 Dart 410 / 904 92 D150 original owner 21 Ram 1500 Quad Cab, Big Horn , Hemi ,4x4 23 Audi Q5 16 Honda HRV
