    Nighthawk Lights?

    Is anyone familiar with GE Nighthawk lights? Just ordered a set off ebay, they were cheap, supposed to be pretty bright and last like 3 times longer than Silverstars. I don't think they are going to be as white as Silverstars. Just wondering if anyone has used them.

    Dyno results

    Well, had my junk on the dyno today. Best was 219hp/279ft/lb. Probably more torque, but converter was flashing to about 3400 rpm. First pull was horrible, I've got to destroy the cheap POS timing light I have, it was waaay off. It was running lean throughout all the pulls, couldn't get that...
