Race gas? Build the 16's. Pump gas? Build the 6X's.

Typically ignorant Chevy "guru" answer from someone that has probably never worked on anything other than Chevy, at least not in the last 20 years.

I feel your anger and pain Drill.
ALL of my buddies give me grief for building a Pontiac instead of a chevy.
One of my buddies went so far as to offer to give me a 454 for my bird, instead of the 428 I wanted.
Funny thing happened though.
Now that the 428 is up and running, My same buddy can't tell enough people about how nasty and fast my car is. [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]
