Talked to Bill yesterday and confirmed an order for the new Super FE to upgrade my 406. Should be in place for the summer. Details to come...

Wait til you see and hear one Jason. They finished the 1st one yesterday (maybe yours?). Next one goes on the dyno.

TC - That was probably Bill's first one and spoken for. I'm in line for the next, should hopefully be sometime in May. I have not actually seen one yet, but can't wait to see the dyno results.

Randy - Super FE is Bill's new engine, basically a hyped up 406. We've been a bit crazy at home the past few months. I've been in Europe for a good part of that and then my company was purchased last week, so waiting to see the opportunities/fallout that brings.

Keith - TBD on final date, but I'll sure be calling SA and asking for it by then. I talked to Bill on Thursday ... is Monday too early to start asking progress??

Chip - It'll be a build up of my 406, besides you have enough toys already and in process to make a man cry!

Hey Jason, good to hear you are still around. Sorry to hear about the travel... especially since I an stranded in a plane in Raleigh.... Isn't this the second company buy-out you've been through? I hope you come out alright.

Can't wait to see the new FE.

Chill - Yeah, this is my second buyout (and thus, fourth company)in 2.5 years. It's been a fun and rocky road, but been able to land on my feet each time. Sure makes for a funny looking resume though! Depending on what happens here, I'm seriously considering the entrepreneur route.

Randy - Thanks for the suggestions. I wonder if it's really better to bribe Bill or Lewis though?

Any of you guys go to the BG demon carb? I thinking about the upgrade while I'm in there.

I have a BG mighty demon 850. I love it but they really overjet them. If you put one on, be prepared to go down quite a few jet sizes. Good luck with your new motor! If you do your own BG jetting I might be able to offer some bad advice, I just recently got mine sorted out.
