>Marble falls is where I have been before. A friend of mine has a lake house on Lake LBJ, which is just up the street from the races.

Well I'll have to let you know if it pans out I'm there pit crewing for the Top Fueler this summer! I might be able to get you a free ticket.

Definitely send me a pic of your goat, I'll swap ya one of our firebird once she's road-ready. As far as engines, I'm not sure what's in the firebird, we aren't native pontiac people & it's a small block to boot so I can look at and tell what is. But it runs which is all we need while we get the body work done. But here's what we run in our dragboat, grab a drink because it will make your mouth water :) We run chevy 482 with dart aluminum heads, dual 850 hollies ontop of a the edelbrock tunnelram, custom made rollercam, NO2 fogger system, superflow fuel systems, drysump oil system, and every trick little part that comes off the engine anodized red to match the boat. One of my jobs come raceday is the tuning the carbs to meet the atmospheric conditions & pulling the head covers to check clearance on the rockers, etc. With the new rig we should run like 130+ mph in a 9-9.5 second quarter mile. What's your best dial in at the track?
