Another GTG sound great to, the last one was great! me ;Sweet The 28th would probably be best for my timing. I'll just set up to teach another training session on Friday and it will be a business trip:D
I can certainly help with the cooking.
I will most likely be flying in due to uncertain weather conditions (Siskiyou Pass) at that time of the year so I probably won't be able to bring beer:eek: Maybe I can run it across the border to our US division and ship it from there earlier in the week:angel: ;Really

Type4, I'm interested in a matched set of BB injectors and I think I want to get a "Torque Cam" as well. How do I get in touch with you?

No, I thought that was necessary only on the very first blocks. Or so the machinist told me, he did ask specifically what it was out of.

70 was the first year for the 455. but core shift plagued Buick for years. that's why 30 over is max safe overbore on Buick whereas, Olds could go as far as 125 over. My Buick racing habit was what got me into my first F450:D

So what do you guys attending the west coast meet need me to bring and share. Last time I had the na rod, the turbo rod and the psd rod... I had a ported head and several other items.. Kinda forgot what they were now. I will be bringing my timing meters to time trucks plus I need the snapon meter "looked at" cause it wont work right....:confused: Post what you want to see and I'll bring it....
