    HomerMav,

    OK, well, you must be making about 330hp at the crank and probably 265hp ATRW's........................so with eveything you are doing to the motor this winter I would think you should gain at least 100hp which would cut your 1320 time to around 11.80's @ 116mph......................how does that sound!!!!!! Sure something to shoot for next spring............I am hoping to qualify for my comp license next spring after refreshing the motor/trans in the Maverick and then certing the chassis.

    Good Luck.................and remember, I'm looking for some 11.9/11.8 slips from you next year.
