tell me about it......either way this is it, with the redo and No2 on top of that if the tranny doesn't gernade it'll most likely be mid 10 or low and heck I'm way into cage territory and that isn't happening or at least not right now, I hear there may be no drag days this year so I may be forced into a cage

Nope, get your 10 sec slip and be happy. Enjoy the street aspect of the car and be done!!! You have nothing left to prove!! *** a cage and ruining the inside of your car.!!!

Oh, I see you're real busy too!

I agree I.m not tearing my interior up for a cage, I need to stop F'ing with the car and be just happy with it and drive it......I'll never silence the critics until it's a 8 sec wheel standing parachute stopping beast..........anyway, what ever it does this time around is it...the time to stop playing with it and finally enjoy it after 10 years is soon to come....as for work I have some just no parts.....odd stuff to... like waiting on a coil harness for a 2001 jetta.........and waiting for other customers to call back.....so how's the switch over going???

LOL exactly! Hence the reason I have not put heads on my car. I know when enough is enough. If that day does come, I'll worry about it then. As long as it stays running well, not going to fool w/ it.

Glad you got work, not so lucky today! Got some subby w/ leaking head gaskets. I think I'd rather do nothing.
