Turbo or nitrous ? power is power . . .

If the bolts are tight you shouldn't have a problem.

Too much work.  I've been developing some new stuff and hadn't had too much time to play around on the boards.  I stop in and lurk a little at work.

That was just the pic I was thing of.

Sometimes you can find a good used Macintosh arm for the street (2-6 over) when drag racers go to a longer arm.
