The Mach-1 will hit 7000 without valve float. It's a better engine
(more refined) than the older Cobras. But then again, my
1988 LX 5.0 could hit 148mph and pretty fast, considering it was
supposedly rated at 225hp.

Oh yea.. kinda like warts or boils... LOL

Actually, I am not complaining about the situation. For once, I am able to
build something (the room). All of my bread and butter work is boring ass
computer work. Nothing real tangible. If i could make $100k and be a
carpenter or something along those lines, I would do it in a heartbeat.

But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. I am at sheetrock
stage. and the stroker kit will be on order by week end. No pics yet.
