Ok, just keep thinking that. I save, so I can buy what I really want!!

Ok Jack what do you really want? But you are right investing money is the smart thing to be doing right now.

Investing is always the right thing to do, but it's also nice to treat yourself to a few goodies every now and again!!

For me it is easy. I borrow and invest then I get both for now and later. This is how you BS with money. Have it now and later.

I hear you, but you've been doing it a little longer!! :p

Do not get me started on money? I preach to the young soldiers all the time. LOL

Wow, I think I know what I'll be saving up for now!!

Hawk · **Posted:** Tue Oct 16, 2001 3:19 pm

That is what I thought.

Did you get your stuff from there??

TheHylandr · **Posted:** Tue Oct 16, 2001 3:43 pm

KaTech has some pretty good stuff...I've dealt with them a few times and thay are a really good business.

IMHO, I'm not really impressed with their heads though, for the money you can find much better. I did quite a bit of research before I decided to go with Cartek...for the money I wanted to spend, they offered the best product.

Keep in mind also that those HP numbers are BHP, not RWHP...not really impressive. When you figure in parasitic loss many folks get the same HP output with a hotcam and a set of LT headers!!!

Jamey, are yours stage II or III. If II, do you know how much their IIIs are??

TheHylandr · **Posted:** Tue Oct 16, 2001 4:30 pm

Mine are Stage 2. The stage 3s are about $450 more, but are not for stock displacement engines because a portion of the valve is shrouded.

How long till the beast comes alive?

TheHylandr · **Posted:** Tue Oct 16, 2001 4:43 pm

Won't be till the new rear end gets here...I was told 4-6 weeks last Friday. I'm having withdrawls!

Did you blow the cookies out of it, or are you playing it safe?

TheHylandr · **Posted:** Tue Oct 16, 2001 5:02 pm

Nope, broke it on my first run last thursday at the Fayetteville track, a 2.5K launch on ET Drags did the trick. LoL

I knew it was just a matter of time with slicks but I was hoping for the best.
