ALL F.I look inside VEY IMPORTANT

,RYGEN,SCRMING,SCREAMINGYELLIN,FLAPJACK,POW ER HOUSE, VORTECH, PROCHARGER, RICK@MESA, AFIXER, AND ANY OTHER FI'S

THE WORST HAS HAPPENED...
Well todya is the day i drop the car off at a new shop i have never been to to get my lsd and gears installed..
Afte getting to know the guy i pull out my lsd and ask him if he was gonna use the install kit.

Man if known you were goin with the 7.5 i woulda sold you the parts outta the v6 i just put a 8.8 IN..

i REPLIED back with what the hell did he do that for? sarcasiticly saying whats he pushing 500 hp and lol....

his reply
" well yes he has a custom t60 turbo 4.0 stroked to 4.3 bottom end (with minor head porting) using a methanol kit, pushing about 560 hp to the wheels i built it for him"

I was like WTFFFFFF....LOL
After talking more and more about the v6 he did he had me about to preganate my doughnut i was eating....

He's wanting to do another so he can make kits to sell but doesnt have funding to do so. ( made notions of having another one done while the customer only pays for parts)

I asked how much is the bottom end. hesaid the bottom built COMPLETE from crank to piston was 2900 cheaper then what is out there now... and install was only a few hundred dollars..

I asked if the v6 guy daily drove his car. Unfortunatly he said i dont think he drives it that much he drvie a tahoo/sub.. he's got some money.

He likes the 4.0's i think i will be coming back here again in the future for the bottom end or something LOL...

So in regards to the title The worst has happened

Were not the fastest out there and there is someone with a stroked motor already in play.. does he have track time i dont know.

I know the shop guy said there trying to get him to go to ENNIS for FFW

RE: ALL F.I look inside VEY IMPORTANT

I wonder if this is Pauls friend that has a bunch of cash and got a custom turbo. Also, will be interesting to see if this guy posts any slips. Though stroked and FI at the same time, hmmm. But, you know what they say...there is always someone faster. I'm curious about this car though, you have to know a lot about tuning the 4.0, and the timing chains, etc to make it drivable on a stroked motor. This might be the first one.
