" I think it's now officially time for you to write a check to somebody, otherwise they're likely to assess you as being more of an irritant than your business is worth."
I really hope you're kidding, otherwise there's no need for you to respond further. Look, I don't have the money that you must have to purchase any engine, so I can't and wont, just pick any motor that's for sale or have a engine builder custom build me a engine, like you do.
I research everything, and there's nothing wrong with that. If you or anyone disagrees with my methods or learning, what's out there and best bang for my buck, then you don't have to follow me along with this discussion and engine build/buy. Unless I'm wrong, isn't this a discussion forum to ask other members their thoughts and ideas pertaining to our Cobra's, engines, drive train etc,...??? That's exactly ,....what I'm doing. If you or engine builders don't like me or anyone else asking in depth, with many questions, regarding engine choices, and you don't like it, then tough,...I get off my back.
If you don't have anything positive to add to this thread, then stay off.
I really hope,...that newcomers don't see your negativity here and decide to go elsewhere. Except for a few members like you, Club Cobra is a wonderful website !
Go to a different "discussion" forum and complain all you want, just not here on Club Cobra.
