Punisher, the one I meet in Toronto. I do not appreciate your abuse of my earned reputation when you say you are quoting me. Just because we talked on Sunday at a car show does not give you permission to use my name as you will. I would never talk down the value or cost that anyone has paid me to install an engine. Especially the engine I my self have chosen to use and abuse whenever the car is used on the track. I also would never say that a 2.8 on NOS is an exceptable combo for reliability or consider as a usable racing modification for any lenght of time. We run a stock (worn out) never rebuilt bottem end 4.9 down the track with over 330 rwhp, stock never replaced from factory pistons/rings and crank (175 000 k), the engine has been ported and a turbo camshaft installed along with different valve train to handle the regound camshaft (that cost $70.00 us to be reground) Any way you look at it if you spray 100 hp of NOS to a 140 hp V6 you will get 240 hp. If you spray 100 hp worth of NOS to a 205 hp V8 you will get 305 hp which is still far less hp than our 4.9 is handling daily. So what kind of a point is a NOS 2.8 against something without nos, because you can just keep turning up the NOS untill you have to sweep up the parts, I have seen video of a quad4 Grand am running 10's with nos does that impress you too? I do not have anything against NOS overall but if I met someone at the track running impressive times with NOS against someone who is running equal times without NOS, using but only sweet, brains and time in thier engine than you know how I would be talking to longer after the race regarding whats under the hood.

I really don't know what to say to you Punisher, I have little use for arguing because I have nothing to prove to you. I am just surprised that the adult I talked to on Sunday is the same kid I am now having to replie to here. I wish the best to you on your project with your time and your money and your decision. Have some respect for others, I know you can in person!

I am picking one up today to put some sail panels in- will G-Tech quarter mile times be okay? I don't think Bob will mind if I flog his car for him.

If the problem is not as bad as it looks then im still on for this weekend. If it is then Im going to have to be looking for a replacement 4.9.... So to punisher, Dont think for a sec I tried backing out of this because when this is fixed it's still On against your friend.

Cool. I hope you can get some good runs in.

ROLF..... + for you..... That made my day, I needed that laugh.

its 11:30 and still no call. But I am guessing you are working on the car

And waht kind of bump would be in the middle of the road on teh way to the junkyard that is hard enough to gash a oil line but not visible by a driver?

Its my thought it was rubbing for quite sometime and it was going to happen whether you hit a bump or not.

Lets still do this. Oil line is easy to fix. Should be back up in less then a day.
