A very long time, but it was well thought out and reasoned well.

Now about that T&L Engines... Major derailment.

Sincere apologies to Mike Chase who's thread several of us have seriously derailed.

Actually I think your post is a candidate for "best outburst of the year." I'm not sure why I wrote that you were "wound a little tight," hopefully you won't hold that against me.

Mike, I went through the same process you went through a year ago. Info from forums and talking with car guys at shows and events are great help. I went with a local bulder here in So Cal. The peace of mind that I knew the folks that worked on it and stood behind it was what drove my decision. I was also there when they fired it up and dyno'd the motor. That was a gas!
Good luck..

How did T&L get off so easy on this one? I've got stories about them as well... but you can easily find the nightmares suffered by others at their hands with a google search, and it makes our experience pale in comparison.

I'm glad I'm building my own engines...

In that way I know who to blame!

Nice work Pat. Good to see you scan older threads for a target of opportunity to poke an eye out and bash somebody. Adding Jasmin to your FF bash watch list?

Anything to get a rise out huh? Those two roll bars are a more eloquent statement than anything you ever wrote.

No, I have it configured to page my Blackberry whenever there's an opportunity to politely kick you in the butt....

Your car should be as fast as your keyboard.

This thread was buried for about 9 days and someone new to the Forum digs it up to give you a piece of their mind? Seems strange to me.
