Ha ha thanks for the words of encouragement man, nice to hear it put that way because I was actually bummed out how my project took a 3 month+ standstill while I've been scrapping the bottom off the bottom of the barrel to get the funds for a tranny. Talk about a tease to put a turbo in my truck and not be able to mash on it. Soon enough I'll know what it's got, I'm curious to see what kinda times it will pull. I'm having trouble finding someone with a similar enough setup to get a guesstimate on times, any of yall have a good guess?

Just changed pistons and rods for more boost/power. JE pistons and eagle H beam rods. Just waiting to do some logging and send it over to justin to finalize my tune.

i just figured out why people build then sell the thing... and never got it till now because i will probably never sell mine.. but when you guys build so fast you dont appreciate them as much as someone like me that it takes forever because i do all my self and have to save forever. So it makes me more attached and i just cant see putting money blood sweat and tears into something and then selling it to someone else to enjoy.. but to each his own!

Interesting thread bump, but yes alot of the fun is planning and building. For those of us with smaller budgets and less resources our builds last a long time making slow progress.
