I may have gotten mixed up...

Come on, #8 is not that hard on a truck. Try doing it on an F-body!

The night that Eric and I were at Baytown to run the truck on the old set up, Flaco told me to get the 55's and we swapped them at the track. That was the night the Chariot hit her best time. And that was before the Patriot Heads were added.

Did you get the freebies that Bosh was offering here on the site? Since Bosch had some deal with PT, I won't mention how I'll never run a Bosch plug in anything I ever own, and how bad of a track record they have when installed on any non German engine, and how many problems that I've personally seen with Bosch plugs...I'll keep that to myself so that I don't bash any contributing vendors

I have a free set of Fusion +4's for anyone with an LSx* engine

*MSD Coils required for proper function. Offer void where prohibited.
