The whole problem is you not bringing the troopers to Tx Mile

 

if you need a motor let me know i sent you a email with my number

 

I think running C16 or MS 109 is better than meth, IMHO. Why? Because high octane gas has no moving parts associated with it.

 

well, all I know is I am saving up for a new motor. Screw the kids college fund.

 

What is your wife's email address D? You will be castrated as soon as she finds out buddy.

 

The way I look at it is I have six kids that i'm currently protecting. Their names ........ Rod, Rod II, Rod III, Rod IV, Rod V, Rod, VI. If any of those kids get hurt I would be devastated.

 

Art, I was castrated a long time ago I've got nothing to loose



Funny, I have two daughters and I called them Rod1 and Rod2 as well,

I really do feel kids should learn how to work and go to school. Really is a good life lesson. That account is totally unnecessary. Wife never checks it anyway.

 

I knew your testosterone level was low You sandbagger.

 

the wife gave them to our pet:

 

Now how the heck do you walk. Sorry J for the thread jack here.

 

hahaha, no worries guys. i got a good laugh out of those last few posts. First time i've laughed in a few days. On a serious note... if anyone knows someone who may be looking to do a huge build... please have them contact me. I'm going over these build numbers.. and I would like to keep my ***** and not dig into the kids college fund thus may make sense to move the car for now with no motor. It would be priced out such that the end user would have a built TT for around the price of a used TT. (i would keep all my aftermarket parts)....

 

Dang J, i was looking forward to hear that you had great outing at Ca Speedway this past weekend w/ new setup & just saw this thread here today. Unbelievable, but wish your turbo a fast & speedy repair or whatever your decision is..

 

hey bro, yeah... total bummer. I didn't even get to do some verified 60 - 130 times, or track it. I was really looking forward to tracking it with those turbos... oh well. good luck with what you decide to do and feel free to pm me anytime.

 

I agree Robert, but not for that reason. I would like to add this: If you use a quality kit, like the Aquamist Kit, the moving parts thing it moot, as there are safety's built in...and they work. HOWEVER, the REAL problem is you never know what you get for pump gas and race gas comes in a can. So yes race gas is better, but IMO, meth isn't as dangerous as it seems.

 

Lemme ask this...

For those of you that have knowledge of many of these motors bending a rod, grenading, blowing up, etc etc etc.... how times out of 10 is the motor salvageable and most if not all of the stock parts are able to be reused if desired? 5 out of 10? 8 out of 10? I am trying to assess what the risk of pushing it is and if/when, God forbid, you do have a failure, your ability to reuse parts is.

This "formula" would help me analyze better whether to do a rod/internal upgrade preventatively or after the fact.... at these prices, analysis paralysis is acceptable to me!
