price is a lot cheaper with porting your T.body,but runner size can be made bigger with a HPI unit.when we bore HD t. bodies,we open the stock runners to 1.700,but that's as big as you can go on a stocker.on a HPI,you can go up to 1.800

That was a bit "tongue in cheek" but seriously, the guy is very good. Do you know the Lozano brothers? If not, next time you are in front of a computer and have a few minutes, check them out.

I figured on both counts; you knew Mike and were kidding. Mike sold his drag bike last year; says he is too old and fat to race any more but recently bought a 600cc Honda and takes it to a local track on track days; learning to road race now. The new owner of his drag bike blew something apart in Houston a couple of weeks back so it's back in Mike's shop. Also sold his 130HP Dyna and now rides a K1600 BMW. Good people, the Lozano brothers; Mike has helped me out a lot and I have learned a lot from him; I just need to get him talking on my level.

Are you going to try and come out? Mike will get there around 0900 and burgers will be on the grill about noon.
