Keith:
Three years ago, I took a "new" C motor to B'Ville. The Champion Tech
guys dropped in my pit (probably noticed the Champion plugs) and gave me
quite a bit of tuning advice. They promised to come back after I made my
first pass - they did and after reading the plugs, agreed the jetting
was correct but suggested two degrees more timing. Their advice was
spot-on. Next pass confirmed perfect color & burn. All in all they were
pretty nice guys & I appreciated the input. Even ended up at the
Blackjack table with them at the Stateline a couple of times...........

C/GT #128
