Re: Possible 1951 purchase with pics

The young guys are playing with cars and trucks, just not the ones we played with or still play with. Rather than sit and figure out what jets they need to change to or where they want to set the timing advance they plug in their laptop and sort though the data and dial it in with the lap top. Most Any one with an S-10 chassis under his/her AD has it there partially because the Mini truck guys did all the homework on that chassis and the parts to trick it out are available without a lot of hassle and you just spend money rather than have to think things out. Hit a tuner car event and the age level is 16 to early 30's and some of those folks cars are super quick. My nieces hubby has gotten over 1100 hp out of Toyota Celicas.
