Newbie from up north
« on: April 26, 2008, 08:41:00 pm »
New guy to the forum, thought I'd drop in and say hi. I've got an 85 shortbox I've had for about 9 years and I've taken it from a 15.5 sec slouch to a 12.3 sec screamer. Looks like a good place to pick up some more info to make it better and hopefully share some of what I've learned along the way. Thanks everybody.
