142/95 is a tad high. especially the 95 part. No need to be scared. That's why we have cholesterol and BP meds. Just make sure you take them and follow up with your doctor. Millions of people are in your shoes. It's just the way it is. No worries.

my plans are in the making
I know, after I pick it up in the next few weeks, I'll have to look at it all winter just waiting for the weather to clear. I'm planning on going every time I can, the first few times I'm only going when your going because I'm going to need lots of instruction. I think I'm going to hang on to the intake, I don't need it right now, but if I ever plan on going faster I better hang on to it. I prob need to start doing some shopping, in the next week or two I need a trailer, I want to pick up a couple more bottles, but I'm sure you can add alot of things to my shopping list that I'm not thinking of. Now I just need to convince you to buy ken's trailer and sell me yours

So when are you going to let us in on your new setup? Is it going to be pushing a 346 into the 8's or are you going bigger?

maybe we can make a few trips, with your car and b-mans. i will pit for both of you. help you guys get down the track. i'll leave my car home so all my work goes to helping you guys out. we do that a few times, and you guys will be set.
i can come up with many things. lol
but we will have to meet up this winter and have a beer and make a list.

as for mysetup, the block is on the way im going ls2 the rest is unknown right now.

ya man offshore boating is nutts, theres nothing like being out in the ocean with some nice big waves and launching a 42 foot 12,000lb boat out of the water.

Sounds good. I can't wait, and if there is anyway I can help you out just let me know, I'm sure I'm going to owe you for your help this spring/summer.
