Won't shut this me up.  David has always been faster than me.  I bet Ken, Jasson and Eric have a little sumpin sumpin for his blue oval ass this spring though.  :smile26:

Lookin good David.  Can't wait to see the new sled.  Hopefully you can make it out to Lavon a few more times this year.

Hey man, David helped me pull my motor. I owe you a trip to your lake at least once this summer, but I hope you can make it out to Lavon for a few Sunday's with us.

David, if you decide to test your motor soon and you want some support so you're not out there alone, come on out to Lavon and I'll put the Crusader in......just in case. I wouldn't want you to be out there alone with no one around in case something doesn't go right.

Just let me know when.


Ford guys stick together like that.....I don't see any GM bubbas chiming in to help you.

D'oh!!!!  :smile26:

I think Ken Jr's boat will have something for him. Mike's is pretty quick too. Kurt should be a good race also, he has a pretty big nitrous shot.

yeah he may have a hard time staying up with them too, they have power adders.

Two boats with blowers and one with NOS.. I think Hillbilly's going to run spray also. I have a 150 shot for my Glastron also...

So David, when are going to fire this thing? Do you have to do a cam break in first?

nope, no cam breakin, it's a solid roller cam, i'm hoping to fire it off in a couple weeks, the boats in oklahoma at a friends shop because i don't have anyplace to work on it here so i go up there on the weekends to work on it, i'm going to arkansas this weekend to see my wife and daughter and going back up to work on it the following weekend,
