And I understand that if I did improve mine, I would enjoy a major advantage to your situation in that mine shifts faster than yours. On the record, I was disheartened when you decided not come to Houston TX for the major boost in HP.

I am a bit conservative. But I promise you online,if my toys reached your home state, they will hand you the keys. Test the damm thing out Grwisher! I need to know!
