lol. If the doc says dont, then DON'T!!

I'd take Dr.Tweaks word for it, mind you he runs a swap-shop (performance shop rather) so for him to come out of the blue like that, he's probably been burned by them before.

Currently the doc is touring around (again) doing "away-from home" projects here in Texas. I'm just hoping he'll stop by houston and wrack me up an estimate biggrin.gif
