The lift on the intake was .007 ovr limit on the intake and .013 under on the exhaust. Don's main problem wound up being that he trusted the parts and work of others to be up to par. I think NHRA has way over done it in this case to a guy that just loves to race and supports the NHRA in every way. His car started running good because of good old fashion hard work from the front bumper to the rear,not a carb swap! A bunch of you guys know Don and know he is the kind of guy you want for a friend,honest and hard working.

I talked to Don 3 times today and he is sick over this. You will never meet a nicer human being. He would never do anything intentional. I feel bad for him. He will be back.
