Top fueler? How about something able to keep up with traffic?! I've driven 
Iron Lung fours--in anything heavier than a no-power-option Fiero, they're 
pathetic. In a 3000lb S-10, they're horrible. In a 3400lb CJ-5, they're 
dangerously underpowered.

And I've found them to be average (at best) with regards to reliability.

Once again. Maybe its reliability there looking for, not a top
fueler. Let em build it how they want, ITS THERES!!!
