you're not the only one guys. It makes sense from about every perspective. But respecting Bill decision I try to keep my big-mouth shut.

Give him time, he'll come around eventually.

I think I'll be happy with 'Ridiculous Speed'!


The way I see it, I was more than content with my latest NA version. Only the recent FI craze pushed me to get the Vortech.
So at ~500 crank hp, I'm good.

Only reason why I went a little overboard with the new shortblock is that I never want that feeling in the back of my head of something possibly coming loose during full throttle/boost ever again. Ever.

Sound strategy Bill

But do you think you'll get HP creep................You know the desire to boost it a lil bit occasionally, I bet somewhere down the road you get the creep but you probably won't succumb to it

I'd bet a million bucks that Bill up's the boost by years end. He's already suffered through the hard part $$$. Uping the boost will be chump change and more than safe on the new block.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see..

If it were as easy as getting a smaller pulley and a new tune, maybe I would. But being that I have a non-cooled kit, it's alot more involved than that.. and that's what keeps me at bay.

the Turner show sounds good. We should definitely try to make it at least one day.

Is there a link to the lakewood show for an entry flyer ??

+1 on the Turner event.
Also got to plan a POTR range visit at Sharpshooters in Torrance.

Lakewood show, 8/17, I should be good to go by then!
