Rays truck is seriously bad ass, I was crushed that he pulled out the motor and put it in a race car, I really wanted to check it out and bombard him with questions and see how he did a lot of things on it.

When I spoke to Marco Abruzzi about which way to go (3,600 at the time) he told me it would be a wash between a 400 and pg. 400 might 60' a little better but the pg would make it up on mph. The big selling point though was consistency.

It's a back and forth thing right now, just as many guys saying too heavy as guys saying will be easier on parts in the 60' and still make up for it down track.

It's making things hard I tell you, good thing I have until fall/winter before I purchase to decide, unless I blow up my tranny before then, knock on wood!
