thanx for the kind words, I'm changing from a 76mm turbo to a 70mm one in hope of lowering the ET. maybe this coming summer I will be able to come up with the cash to finish the interior, or if I rob a bank I will be able to build the stroker motor I'm wanting. I had a great time in Gainesville even though the convertor took a crap.
