Enjoy, Gents! You guys are moving the ball.
Spin, you may be right about the Crane cam. I hope not, though, cause, I'm gonna do it, anyway. How's that for a student!
If it doesn't work out as well as I'd like, you can come down and port the FAST. Heck, you can do that even if it does work out!
Once again, enjoy!

I don't think SpinMonster is unbearable, at all. I think that he is barely bearable! There is a distinct difference.

As Arnold Swartzeneger said: I need a vah-cation. Free port job and retune for the new cam eh?
As far as being bearable.......its all good as long as I'm right. Aintqik doesnt understand that yet. My wreck by the way was due to hitting a moving object, not a stationary one, RJ.

Peak numbers don't mean squat. Area under the curve does. Torque is god............ So, ask yourself what do you really want. Fun car, or to be able to tell your friends you have a blown car, or do you want to just go fast. I think Saleen said it best, people think they want a race car. They don't. They want a fun road car. Race cars are unbearable bitchy pigs. You don't really want that. Of course I'm paraphrasing but you need to be honest with yourself. I can also tell you it takes a blower car or 2 before you "get" this. Sometimes its just a dream that needs to be satisfied.
Don't skimp. It always costs you in the end. I know a lot of you guys have no money problems. I do. I'm a poor guy in the military. I've always gone back and had to replace the things I knew I was skimping on, injectors, lifters, clutch.
Use the search button. Its your friend I promise
Have freinds, real life ones that you can slap, to talk things over with like Spinmonster. .
Very well stated and we all know Spin can be a little diffcult at times but he really is a great guy.

I NEED a steak sandwich and that pool in your party central backyard is calling me. I wish I had taken you up on the offer when I was there but I have healed a lot since then and will go for it.

We'll only drive in the morning, so all objects, stationary or otherwise, will remain safe!
