    What's the deal with the "button"? Tooling?

    My guess is it has something to do with the casting process.

    I was amazed at the throttle response. I double checked to make sure I was indeed holding a 390.

    It's fuggin loud...... :rofl: :lol: :saw:

    The 362 has a bit of catching up to do if it's going to match the 390's reputation. It'll take a steady diet of Big Macs and Preperation H to get it on par with a stock 390. :picard:

    Once in a while I stumble across something I see that has life left in it… If you all remember, I bought that 390 last year and the top end was beat. "I" wanted to resurect her back to health but I just didn't have the time with my new position at the base. And I still don't:eek:… I know some of you are much better at getting this done than I am so it's a win, win situation for all!:thumbs: I asked MM if he wanted the job and he jumped on it:cool::thumbs::drunk:
    MM did the 441 mag first and "MY GOD" that thing ate some wood :eek:…. soooooo….. a 390 was up on deck!
