Hopefully this fixes the miss, and if it does I should be able to get some track times next saturday.

Did you check the plugs too? Do you have some decent tires for the track? I know you'll have to be easy with the launch, but any hopes as far as the 60ft. times?

Just nitto's, and every suspension mod I have will be hurting my launch so it won't be anything special.

For some reason Craig fell out of favor. Truthfully not sure why, but I heard stories that if he did the heads they were very good; but if his staff did the heads, they were not so good. May have grown a bit too quickly.

Still a great guy and I wish him the best.

I agree Craig was super nice and very helpful - I always wondered what happened to him.

It's probably a good thing your on the Nittos, I'd hate to see you break something right off the bat. Pretend theres an egg under the go pedal, and after a few practice runs, I bet you still manage some fair 60ft.times.

I always wondered why my friends car ran no quicker after putting a set of GTPs on his stock head full bolt on Hotcam car. I believe he was on a mailorder tune and never put it on the dyno to check things out. Nor did he have any way to log anything, as far as street and track driving. But I wonder now, if maybe it was a set ported by one off the employees and not Craig himself.
