Re: It ain't over 'til the Max Lady sings

[Gary Pavlovich <glpavlovich@xxxxxxx>]

Steve,

I have found that the dyno numbers people quote don't equate to commensurate 
ET's in the quarter mile as proven by all the cars I waxed at the track 
boasting "impressive" rear wheel and flywheel HP & Torque.  The only thing 
that matters competitively is who reached the end of the quarter first; and 
the only thing that matters personally is do you like how you car runs - 
forget what other people think and say; hey, kind of sound like Don Dulmage 
there!
