Default Kudos to Ricky at NX

Don't know if you've seen the current issue of the NMCA publication Fastest Street Car mag, but you should check it out. The article is titled LS1 Bad Boys and is a big write up that features 9 of our site members.

The kudos comes in for Ricky on the article about my car. Although the write-up outlines the performance of my old setup, they decided to draw attention to my recent upgrades. They describe it as a "super trick dual-stage nitrous kit custom designed by the wizards at NX...". That wizard would be Ricky.

Be proud my friend as this publication that focuses on the NMCA and the WORLD'S fastest door slammers just stated that the system you designed and fabricated is "one of the trickest nitrous setups we've ever seen".

Yeah Ricky does some bad a$$ stuff, even for us ford guys. One of the few people I like from NX that makes me still like the company. The magazines should do a write up on Ricky himself, make for a damn good issue

Thanks Eric and everyone else. Sound corny but it means alot to hear that people like and appreciate my work.
Now we need to get that magazine to do a full right up, and show the rest of the world whats up with the high hp LS1's.

thanks Steve,Ok now I am blushing. lol But you know I was thinking that same thing. Might be an interesting read but I bet they would edit what I say, being blunt as I am sometimes.
