That stinks Greg. I did notice that you were smoking pretty bad when you left. Have you had a chance to diagnose problem yet?
Was good meeting you guys.
Batcave, was that your black formula that was parked with all of our F-bods Friday night at the track?

When you guys left, I noted the smoking too. You may have some blowby going on there. You may want to check your cylinder pressures and then see where your at. _________________
