[Shotimes] Cheap Performance Upgrades

[Paul L Fisher]

Manchester, NH is 83.4 miles from Spencer, MA according to Yahoo. I can't
speak for Kirk, but he welds at least on Saturday and sometimes on Sunday. I
believe he can have you in and out in 4-6 hours. 1.5 hours down, 6 hours
weld, 1.5 hours back. Done in 9 hours.

Don't mean to get on your case, Thomas, just PLEASE weld the cams before you
even think about any other 'enhancement'. If you put nice wheels on and the
cams go, you'll have a non-running car with $2000 wheels on it.

Thomas, Listen to what Paul said.  If you really want to keep your
car, find someone competent that can take car of it right.  That's
one of the key points about being a SHO owner.  The car is special,
so the service tends to be specialized as well.  Count your
blessings that you are in NE; even if you happen to be up by the
Canadian border.

I'm not a GenIII expert, but my perception is that the cam weld is
priority ONE, everything else is secondary.  As for the latter, the
V8 crowd has their own board and I bet you will get better help
there.
