Tore mine completly down and rebuilt last month. Only car i can mess with as my electric seems too delicate for unprepped outdoor.
No 733 but confident ill have a better season this year lol

Is there an advantage to turbo head over standard? I have parts from two engines. Didnt know had to be 3 port so ill have to change back but i have heads for both types of plugs.

Against my better judgement.  I swore I'd never own one again.

I guess somewhere really hot is getting cold as the world warms up, if you catch my drift.

You will actually have your own nitro car tom? Or is this the usual blake and tom sharing one?

well sand blasted the exaust and then painted it with a high heat automotive paint then cooked it in the BBQ for an hour looks good compared to last season.

Car looks awesome gerry. i might have to try painting my pipe too as its realllly worn looking. has a big dent right on the tip which pushes it in a bit. wonder if the freezing trick would pop that out, or if i should just heat it and pull it out with pliars.
