It display was quite pitiful... They couldn't give me the correct part# for
a MP SBEC for a 95 v6 w/5spd... Look in the catalog, they say they make
one....even a quote from the catalog "Peak improvements with the 3.9L engine
are 10hp and 15ft/lbs of torque."... So where is it???????

Got that right.... But then again I even heard grumblings amongst the GM and
4duh crowds about lack of product...

Yeah caught those too... My kids had a blast watching the TF and FC cars
run...Until the first one whistled by at 200+ at WOT then they changed their
minds... The Wed night event is TF, FC, Prot Truck, and Jets event I
think... I could be wrong...Just wanna watch the jets run.... I saw Sunday
got rained out....bummer...
