KB Article in MM&FF AND Truckin

The articles are damn near identical. Everything from the HP numbers to the fact that they started with a 99 and upgraded it to an 01. Whats the deal hear? All I can figure is that both mags were present during a "demonstration" by KB. If this is the case, the articles are kind of misleading since the writers are liberal in their use of "We"... Either that or it is blatant plagerism...

You can get the June MM&FF from Tim Skelton's website here:

I have the truckin, but my digital cam is at the office so I can't scan it for ya...

Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

Russ, then stop by MM&FF's office and ask, no demand that they do a mod for hp on a Vic. When they answer, "Sir, we would like too, but we don't have a Vic at our disposal." I think you know the correct response at this point

For the Vic mods MM&FF folks went straight to Indy... my friends at Kenny Brown were more than happy to give them a Supercharged KB Panther P2 on a few occassions for their disposal.

Both MM&FF and KennyBrown folks were happy as the result... the MM&FF dudes got to feel the ***** that the supercharged Vic had and KB got great advertising, plus lots of pix (KB send me a few CD's full of high quality .tif format pix that MM&FF photoman took)

Plus, the way it works now (and this is based solely on my observation) is if you got some cash to spend and bring it in for "go fast" mods you have much more chances of getting stuff done at no cost... if you're like me who would love to do everything but don't have enough to do simple things as preventive maintenance not even talking about big mods, than they don't even want to talk to you... I don't blame them!
