 Robert,
I am assuming from your content that -all- the mods you did, the internal engine
work included is accounted for in the approx 130HP figure?? Correct? Surely the
ratio rockers, Filtercharger and Turbo muffler alone would not account for this
increase?? Tell me it -is- so for I will do the deal this month!
Kemah is directly on Galveston Bay, half way between downtown Houston and the
beach at Galveston. NASA is about 7 miles away and is in Houston. We are
"Greater Houston" for sure.
