He seems to have the nitrous cars figured out, but a couple of Texas SS cars have run his stuff without a lot of sucess. ATI and A1 seem to have the fastest stuff for cars like mine. I'll stay with ATI unless somebody makes a switch from them to something else and picks up. A1 appears to be the king of Comp.

Some guys don't like talking to ATI's ownner, he is kinda abrupt (I'm being kind here) but the others I have dealt with up there have been great. I'm not lookin' for a beer drinking buddy, just want killer converters. They have them.

Abt 30 % is what we have seen on small single cylinder motorcycles.
