I appreciate it because you are sincere. You have my word on what I'm going to write in this post, so here it goes:
I've only put together one engine that just flat out disappointed me beyond belief. I was 20, and had one of the top guru's in the area that ran a performance machine shop lead me with all his professionalism through a 340 build. The car laid the biggest egg at the track, embarrassing was more like it. I tore some things down and did some things "the way I perceived it" and we got it straightened out. All other engines have exceeded just about everyone's expectation, including the cars I have now. No, I'm not bragging or saying I'm special. What I am saying is I appreciate input, experiences, and even opinions when they are meant constructively, but in the end the ET slip will determine if I found satisfaction. So the correct question, which nobody has asked over 7 pages, is what kind of gains and engine characteristics am I looking for means I'm the owner, builder, and financer of the car (means the original question I asked has for the most part long been ignored) LOL
