MC tweaks

[Todd Phenneger]

Agreed,
  THere have been quite a few documented cases of spark hop and
bent Conn Rods on 3B's that try to push the envelope beyond what
you just mentioned.  Lehman for one has quite a bit of
experience here.  Speaking of which, does anyone know what ever
happend to the
"Dragon Wagon".   
Still wish I had bought that car, damn nice Lehman motor in it. 
I know it has changed hands a few times.  Just curious if the
owner is still a list member.
  Anyhow, its not worth playing with fire like that.  If you
want 400+ hp is SO much safer to go the Ind Coil Route of the
AAN motor.
