Sorry to hear that about your job,Dale. We still planning to attend the KC Regional?

On that 572,going from 460rwhp to just 406 would have been very disturbing and indicative of some problem. Another possible cause could have been heat soak as big inch tall deck engines like that are hard to keep cool. Off topic but how's your 67 Camino coming along? You done any more to it?
