    The dyno came in at 285 at the rear wheels, about what I planned.
    The big change came in drivablilty.

    Mercurycruser, I live fairly close to Harrisburg & about 45 min from Carlisle.

    Always open for a drive! Unfortunately, snow was flying today, so the car may have to be put away for the winter. :( Hope to take it to Carlisle in June though. Hope to see some of you there.

    I've been trying to get to June Ford Carlisle for the last 2 years without success. I'm going to give it another try this coming June. I'll be waiting to see what goes wrong this time :huh:

    I was at Carlisle this year. I thought Camarro's were belly button cars. Now I think the same of Mustangs. There was only about eight Mavericks.
