[DeTomaso] An engine-bay shot from Japan

[Larry - Ohio Time Corp]

Dan,

I think we need to determine what is more important Mike having more HP to
play with, or the rest of the world learning from your work :)  

OK, Mike gets his motor!!

Did the lazar hit its target?

We did not have time to test the Webers.  I'd hoped to do additional
testing this weekend but the engine needs to get to the shipper in
time for Mike to install it before Reno.  Dave is going to test the
Inlines this week.
