turbo.  I'm glad he got the Pagids. :-)

	Yep.  I get a grin every time I drive a Modded Turbo.  Drove Adams
5ktq at the Auto X event on Sunday.  That think is a beast and I'm not
used to it (not to mention I think he needs slightly softer springs
everyone knows that he needs better rubber)  But, in the Slalom those
400lb springs were a blast.  IN the rain, first time I shifted into 2nd at
6,000 all four tires broke loose and I drifted throught the cones in a
nice slide. :-)   And I got to play with some tail out action as well. :-)
BTW..type 44's are big and really feel it when sideways. :-)  

> no to mention Pat Martins 4000tq

	yep.  And Gary's  Coupe Turbo.  Maybe soon both of them will get
Intercoolers so they can get some real power out of them :-)  And
hopefully soon I will have my 4ktq going.

	Yea, me to.  I love riding in that 400hp beast.  I haven't seen it
with the Roll Cage yet but I guess its turning into a pretty serious
machine.  Once the engine is done (that may be a while) it should rock.
It should have a reliable 400hp by then with the custom crank and spark
hop problem solved.  Oh, yea, not to mention a 10,000 rpm redline with
solid lifters.   Do you know if he is going to go with a Dry Sump oiling
system???
