Drag racing times - parts/work to modify

[Mike Robinson]

Javad runs the 034efi.com website, which has a lot of info and prices on his
"toys."  A lot of his development is for an MC style motor in the smaller
type 89.  This means that you'll have more space, using the same stuff in a
type 44.  HTH
