On its very last pass before I take it apart to freshen and after running 6.001 three or four times we finally got a 5 second pass out of it. I'm not really sure if I will do some upgrades to it over the Winter or just re-ring and new bearings. Its been such a trouble free combo I hate to change anything. Its still a solid lifter cam combo so the only maintenance I've had to do all season was set the valves once and one oil change.

Good job John .
Now get the small tire car going so I can drag yo azz lol . Thanks guys and you are right Brad I gotta get busy on it. I also have to get some knee issues addressed and get my fat butt to the Planet Fitness to get in shape. I honestly couldn't race my heads-up car by myself in the condition I am in now. If you would see me climbing in and out of my Dusters car window after its in my trailer you would die from laughter.
