Brain I was in no way trying to offend or impune you in any way I was pointing out how difficult it is to shop for a motor , The people most recognized in our hobby are also the ones most often vilified ,that fact coupled with the already confusing ideas of what is the better approach to achieving a goal makes it hard for those of us who do other things for a living than building motors know what we are getting for our money , I have never heard a bad word said about you or your product which is why I used my situation as an example , I have a 69 fastback with TTi headers into a 2.5 inch TTi Hpipe exhaust set-up , a 727 with the low first gear and a 8.75" rear end with an Auburn sure grip with 323 gears turning 14 wheels, I would like to make 500+ hp and 500+ ft lbs of torque , the car is regularly street driven but I want to be able to throw a set of 15 wheels on the back with some drag radials 2 or 3 times a year and run her hard with the locals at the local track. I am prepared to pay for the good gas at the pump {92-94} and would prefer not to rely on cast parts , What can you do for me ?
