thanks mike,, it was an ok weekend,,we went through tech with the car,, head off,, chack volumes, stroke, carbs,, so on, thats why i was there,, to put it back together and to try to figure out why the car was slower than it should have been based on the no problem shootout performance. we put a timing curve in it at no problem, and someone had reset the timing from where i had it, took 4 degrees out. we didnt realize that till before the first round of the jegs deal, so didnt want to pick up the car alot then have joe not know how to dial it for the race. the trans also went, in the first round it didnt shift into high, slipped 2nd bad, in the 2nd round it wouldnt shift into 2nd, joe went first to third, and had to let off to get it to shift, then couldnt catch the guy. motor was still running though,, was at 9200-9300 on the limiter for about 2 seconds both runs.....
