    I believe the "War Wagon" had a gun turret installed on top during the movie. I hope yours doesn't have to defend against any hurricane.
    I am confident this will be your best week yet. I can't wait for the updates.

  6. The 220 is a all time classic. A gun that is credited with the resergence of semi autos. Im a big sig fan.

    Good luck Brian, we will be cheering for you. Never cared much for those in between percentages, injected or blown . Seemed between 50 and 80 there wasn't much change then 80 and up here we go again. Your ok if you keep the volume within reason. Lippy

  18. Running 50 percent on day one. That is subject to change depending on the standings. The pump is good for 80 percent. The block not so much. Already some carnage for some during the test and tune.

  23. The pictures and story were done at this years meltdown drags scotty lechtenauer drove from new jersey to do it. The stories are first released on hot rods site then rereleased in the printed magazine. Its cool to see it made its release.
