I think you'll remember that the page was a Level I type job and was only
focused at gettin' rid of the bump and polishing the bore. Perfect
starting point for someone that's unsure of what the results are gonna be.

Thanks...exactly my intent 8^)

Hmmm....it's that type of thinkin' that usually preceeds a downfall. ;^)
as well as I feel it has. 14.9s (2.2 60')

The 60' is really just a measure of traction. The point here was to show
that it ran the 14 with a just "ok" 60'.

"home" guy. 8^)

Exactly.

Well...I don't know about anybody else but when ya flat out say without
seein' it or flowin' it that yer's would whoop it's ass....I'd say yer
knockin' it. Experience or not.

No...actually...I think you *could* sell 'em. You carry a certain amount

Sears dremel pieces *are* light duty and you'll most likely run thru the
kit by time yer done.....but...it works.
