Motor schmoter, this makes my pants dance! :hail: :hail:

And mucho gracias. :cheers:

Speaking of Dick Trickle and Nascar (thanks Todd)....

For those remotely interested in Nascar based builds, here are 2 PHR articles that have inspired me and informed me along my way.

And the evil twin sister (being a Ford makes it my sister) to my SB2.2 -- found in PHR's Project "Max Effort". Nearly identical (minus the water/meth injection) it is within 1 cubic inch and 5-10 horsepower of mine with a nearly identical powerband as well.

Hey...I got one of those also..:rofl:

The wife asked me the other night at dinner what was in the big plastic bag that has dust all over it in the back of our garage...Oh I said something like a $8500.00 Visa card gone bad.

Dinner was a little better after the third full glass of wine...

I think the yard and house work is stabilized. Moving on to the car. :)

I have done a lot of research over the past year on fire suppression systems and finally landed on one. I chose this one for the following reasons:

more nozzles (6) than most (2-4 on average)
2 pull cables (many have just 1)
non toxic
cleans up easily with water (supposedly)
SCCA and FIA approved (standard equipment on Ferrari Challenge cars)

Looks like a smart purchase. I think I'll follow your lead on this one. :D

Dave, glad to hear things are settling down now. A fire suppression system, you're not messin' around man. Incidentally, I heard Soundgarden's new song tonight, have you heard it?
